Get Started
First steps
The first screens, the permissions the app asks for, and your first note
The first screens
The intro
Five short slides show what the app does. Choose your language on the first one: the app, the AI's summaries and dictation all use it. You agreed to how AI reads your notes when you created your account; you can change that any time in Settings → Memory → AI enhanced notes, and the services involved are listed under Privacy.
Allow paste
The app asks to paste from other apps, so links and pictures you paste become rich notes.
Allow notifications
So the app can tell you when a note you asked the AI to read is ready, or when someone shares a note with you.
What you start with
A new memory starts with five favorite notebooks (To-Do, Recipes, Holiday, Research and Ideas) and two favorite notes: an introduction, and a green note about importing your Evernote notes. Delete them whenever you like; they don’t come back. Hints on the home screen point at the + and chat buttons until you have a note of your own. To see the intro again, go to Settings → View intro.
Permissions
The app asks for each permission the first time it needs it:
| Permission | Asked when | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | You open the camera | Photos and video |
| Microphone | You record, dictate or start a meeting | Voice notes, dictation, meetings |
| Speech recognition | You first dictate | Turning your voice into text on the phone |
| Location (while using) | Your first new note | Tagging notes with a place — on by default; turn off in Settings → Location tagging |
| Face ID / fingerprint | You turn on app lock | Unlocking the app |
The photo picker needs no permission: you choose exactly which photos the app can see.
Your first note
- Tap + and choose Note.
- Type — or hold the microphone to dictate.
- Close the note. It’s saved on your device straight away and synced in the background.
A moment later the AI gives it a title, a summary and keywords. Open your dashboard or ask any connected agent — the note is part of your memory.
