Catch It
Recording · 0:06
Your words, as you speak

I need to ask Sarah about the report tomorrow. The expense numbers don't match.

Tap to stop. It saves itself.
How it works

Three steps. Nothing to organize.

No titles, no tags, no folders, no "are you sure?" Just the thought and the time you had it.

  1. 1

    Catch It

    Talk or type. Your words appear as you speak, and the thought saves itself the moment you stop, with the time attached.

    4:15 PM · "I need to ask Sarah about the report…"
  2. 2

    Find It

    Search with any word you remember, or scroll your Thought List, newest first. No match? Your recent thoughts are right there.

    Search "sar" → I need to ask Sarah…
  3. 3

    Resume

    Open it exactly as you caught it. Fix a word if you need to, pick up where you left off, and mark it Done.

    Pick up the prescription on the way home.
Quick access

Start recording before the thought gets away.

Where iPhone allows, Catch This opens straight into recording from the shortcuts you already use. No unlocking, hunting for the app, or tapping through menus.

Lock Screen Action Button Back Tap Siri Control Center

Some shortcuts take a one-time setup in iPhone Settings. The app walks you through it.

Built to be there when you need it

Your thoughts stay put.

Works without signal

Thoughts save on your phone first, so they're there in a parking garage or on a plane. They back up when you're online again.

Private to you

Your thoughts belong to your account and are backed up privately. Nobody browses them.

Easy on the eyes and brain

Big buttons, high-contrast text, and very few screens. Less to figure out when your mind is already full.

The first version

Simple on purpose.

The first release for iPhone does one job well: catch a thought, find it, and get back to it. Testers help us learn if it works better than what you use now.

In the first version

  • Voice or typed thoughts, saved automatically
  • Voice turned into text you can edit
  • Search by keyword, plus a Thought List, newest first
  • Mark thoughts Done
  • Start from Lock Screen, Siri and other iPhone shortcuts
  • Works offline, backs up when you're online

As a tester, you'll tell us how fast you can catch a thought, whether you found it again, and whether you'd keep using it.

Why I built this

I have epilepsy, and losing my train of thought is part of daily life. A thought shows up, and seconds later it’s gone. Notes apps wanted me to open, title, and file it before it slipped away. So I built Catch This: tap, say it, and it’s saved. It’s for anyone whose mind moves faster than they can hold on to it.
