Capture from the places thoughts happen.

Open Doneward from the app, Apple Watch, Shortcuts, Spotlight, Siri, the Action Button, Lock Screen controls, or the Share Sheet. The first job is simple: start recording before the thought disappears.

Why it exists

Voice memos should not become another place ideas go quiet.

Doneward is being made for the small notes that usually get lost after recording: the errand said while walking, the meeting follow-up caught between calls, the calendar block you meant to create later. The point is not to store more audio. The point is to help a spoken thought become a clear next step while it is still fresh.

The messy memo becomes a usable queue.

Doneward saves the audio locally, transcribes on device when supported, drafts a summary, and pulls out the next steps that deserve your attention.

  1. 01
    Record the thought

    Fast capture first, permissions only when needed.

  2. 02
    Review the draft

    Summary, transcript, and actions stay together in one memo.

  3. 03
    Route the action

    Send clear tasks to Reminders or time-specific work to Calendar.

Review before anything leaves the memo.

Doneward is built around a calm review step: the transcript, summary, source phrase, and route buttons stay visible so you can decide what becomes an actual reminder or calendar block.

Designed as a native iPhone utility, not a cloud wrapper.

Doneward keeps memos, transcripts, summaries, and actions in a local library on your iPhone. Smart features use Apple Intelligence when available, and core tools like recording, playback, export, and delete remain available even when smart summaries are not.

Local library

Memos, transcripts, summaries, tags, and actions stay searchable on device.

No account

Doneward is built without user accounts or team workspaces.

Apple Intelligence

Smart summaries and actions depend on device support and user settings.

Export control

Playback, export, and delete remain core parts of the library experience.

Clear states for every device.

Doneward should feel honest on day one. If smart summaries are unavailable, the app explains what works, keeps capture useful, and protects export and delete.

Full mode: capture, transcript, summary, actions, routing, export.

Limited mode: record, playback, transcript when available, export, delete.

Testing path

TestFlight planned for summer 2026.

Doneward will open a small TestFlight group before the App Store release shortly after. Early testers should expect an in-development iPhone app, not a finished launch build.
