Ask a person.

Tap the mic in the middle of the tab bar and talk. Tap Stop and save when you’re done. Your tasks appear at the top of the list a few seconds later.

In the iPhone Settings app, open Action Button, swipe to Controls and choose Capture a Thought. Then press the button, even with the phone locked, and talk; press it again to stop. The first time, iOS asks to allow Heardo’s live card on the Lock Screen. Tap Allow, or the button can’t record. In Heardo, Settings › Recording › Action Button walks you through it and checks that it works.

Yes. Add the Heardo control to Control Center or the Lock Screen, or say “Capture a thought with Heardo” to Siri. Both start a recording without opening the app.

Either you went quiet for 2 seconds, with Stop when I stop talking on, or it reached the longest recording you chose, from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Both are in Settings › Recording › Recording ends. Either way, everything you said is kept.

The recording goes to Heardo’s server, which uses Amazon Web Services (Amazon Bedrock) to transcribe it and split it into tasks, each filed into a category. Amazon doesn’t train AI on it. When it’s done, a line says what was added, such as “Added 2 tasks · Work”; tap it while it’s showing to see What I heard. The privacy policy has the details.

Recording always works. With no connection the recording waits on your phone and is sent when you’re back online. Your tasks and reminders keep working meanwhile. If mobile data is off for Heardo, turn it on in iPhone Settings › Mobile Data › Heardo.

It stays at the top of Tasks as “Couldn’t make tasks”. Tap Try again, or open it to play it back and make a task from it yourself.

Add it on the Dictionary tab: tap Add, type the word the way it should be spelled and, if you like, the misspelling Heardo keeps writing. New recordings use it.

English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Hindi. Choose up to three in Settings › Recording › Languages. Automatic works out which one you’re speaking, and keeps mixed-language speech as spoken rather than translating it.

A task with a due date notifies you when it comes up. Press and hold the notification to mark the task done or snooze it. When you pick a time for a task, it rings like an alarm, even on Silent, until you stop it or snooze it; switch Ring as alarm off in the task for an ordinary reminder. If nothing arrives, check that notifications are allowed for Heardo in iPhone Settings.

Yes. Open the task and choose Repeat: every day, every weekday, weekly, monthly, yearly, or Custom. When you complete it, the next one is added.

Yes, up to ten images on a task. On iPhone, open the task and add one under Attachments, from Photos or by pasting. On the web, choose a file, paste, or drop it onto the open task.

Yes. Open heardo-app.graviti.inc, scan the code it shows with your iPhone’s camera, and tap Sign in on the phone. The web app uses the account you opened on iPhone; it can’t open a new one.

Yes. Tasks, categories and Dictionary are kept in your account, so they come back when you sign in on a new phone. Changes made without a connection wait on your phone and are sent when you’re back online.

As long as Settings › Privacy & About › Keep recordings says: 7, 30 or 90 days, forever, or not at all. Your tasks and transcripts stay either way. Delete all recordings, in the same place, removes every one from your phone and the server.

On iPhone, open the menu, then Account › Export my data. On the web, Settings › Data and privacy › Export my data. Either makes a file of your tasks, categories, Dictionary and transcripts. For your recordings or images, email us.

Yes, in ChatGPT, Claude or any app that supports MCP. Settings › Tasks › MCP shows you how: add Heardo to the app as a custom connector, paste the server address, and enter the code Heardo gives you. You choose whether the app can change your tasks or only read them. See every tool.
