Transcription stays on the iPhone.
- Voice memo transcription runs on the device.
- Help says recordings stay on the iPhone and are not sent to a server.
The date sits in Tako's bubble.
- The greeting is the time of day, then your name.
- Tap Tako on Next Up and today's date appears in a speech bubble, then tucks away. The tail curves toward him, and the bubble lines up with the card.
- Next Up sits at the top of its deck. The extra stroke along the top of those cards is gone.
- Names stop at 12 characters.
- A streak ends if today has no finished task. Opening the app checks. Claiming the daily reward does not keep it going.
- The first open grows two rings out from the logo, then opens into onboarding. The launch title stands alone.
- A cold start plays the launch video through. Tapping does not skip it.
Settings keeps the preferences.
- Date format and the first day of the week live under Preferences.
- App Lock uses Face ID or Touch ID.
- Profile and the gem shop sit in the Settings list. The theme preview card is gone.
- Custom Studio stays locked until every solid color is unlocked.
- Help and Privacy open this website. Rate Notako opens the App Store.
- The support address wraps on its own row, full width.
- Onboarding asks for notifications, the microphone, speech, Calendar, and Reminders before Get Started. Sync stays off until you turn it on.
The actions capsule is real glass.
- The bell and settings sit in system liquid glass on Notes, the dashboard, Calendar, and Tasks.
- The unread count sits on the bell, inside the glass, and pulses from that badge.
Tako peeks over Next Up.
- When something is waiting, Tako rises from behind the card. His chin and ears stay clear, and only the paws overlap.
- The empty state stays empty.
- The calendar card keeps space above the month title, so the rounded clip does not eat it.
- The calendar top bar no longer has a reminders bell. Reminders stay in More.
Gentle reminders, and backups on a schedule.
- A few on-device reminders while Notako is in the background: a morning note, an afternoon task, a calendar heads-up, and an evening streak check.
- At most three a day, and only inside hours you can change. Lock Screen text stays generic unless you show titles.
- Those controls live on their own Notifications screen.
- Automatic backup can run each day, week, or month, for every profile or one. It writes the same encrypted .notako file. The newest three are kept, and a saved one can be exported or deleted.
Apple sync is a switch.
- Calendar events and reminders can be created in Notako with sync off.
- Settings has three switches, all off at first: Calendar, Reminders, and Notes.
- Turning Calendar or Reminders on copies both ways. Turning it off stops the copy and deletes nothing.
- Notes only shares out to Apple Notes. Sharing from Apple Notes into Notako still works.
- Widgets follow the same switches.
A tour walks the first day.
- After onboarding, a spotlight tour walks the dashboard, including a reminder and the daily claim.
- The spotlight is larger. It waits while you type, and you can go back.
- Tour buttons stay clear of Back and Settings. More Tools opens from the full height of its row.
- Leave and come back, and the tour can resume.
- Tako peeks on the welcome card.
Pages slide. The bar steps aside.
- Moving between pages slides the body. The header and footer stay put.
- Older and newer updates slide the list. The heat map stays still.
- Screenshots stay whole, and line up with the heading.
- The top bar tucks away as you scroll down, and comes back when you scroll up.
