Sayo now asks what you think of it at a sensible moment instead of almost never, which is a small change with a big effect on an app this young. Plus fixes and polish throughout.

Sayo 2.0 is a rebuild of the whole app around one idea: you talk, and you get back a list you can act on. A NEW RECORDING SCREEN A live waveform, the transcript arriving as you speak, and a tap to jump back to live if you scroll away. DATES THAT LAND ON THE RIGHT DAY "Next Tuesday morning" and "the Friday after the 4th" are now worked out in code rather than guessed at, on both the online and offline paths. ASK YOUR MEMOS, ANSWERED FROM YOUR OWN LIST "What do I have to do this week" is answered from the tasks Sayo pulled out of your recordings, with their real due dates and anything still open that never got one. Your phone works out what falls inside the week, so the answer is exact and comes back straight away. LONG RECORDINGS ACTUALLY WORK An hour-long lecture or meeting used to quietly fall back to a weaker transcription. Sayo now sends speech-grade audio to the cloud, so a 60 minute recording goes through properly. Your own copy is untouched. PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK Turn cloud AI off and Sayo genuinely runs on your phone, enforced in one place so nothing can route around it. The server keeps no recording, no transcript, and no account. ALSO Setting up now shows you what Sayo does instead of describing it, and the microphone is only asked for when you press record. Import a recording you already have, straight from the empty screen. Real waveform thumbnails. Face ID actually required to open a locked memo. A tidier share menu, better empty states, and a long list of smaller fixes.

Sayo now knows what you do for a living, and it stops losing the things you said you'd do. WORK PROFILES. Tell Sayo whether your day is real estate, sales, on-site work, or studying, and it reads every memo that way. A showing gets read as a showing: the property named in the task, the contract deadline caught, the lender you're waiting on kept separate. It also listens for the words your work actually uses, so HOA, escrow, and punch list stop coming back as something else. STILL OPEN. The top of your notes now shows what you actually owe. Overdue first, then what's due today, then the people waiting on you, pulled from every memo you've ever recorded. Tap any line to jump straight back to the conversation it came from, and check it off from there. On a day with nothing open, it stays out of your way. Also in this update: - Onboarding asks one question that makes every memo better, and no longer promises a number that could change - Checking a task off from anywhere now keeps Reminders and its due-date alert in step - Terms of Use lists the plans actually on sale, instead of a hand-written list that could go stale - Removed the old account code that was still calling a server retired in June, which was quietly delaying every purchase and restore - A subscription bought on another device no longer gets treated as unpaid when sharing memos in from another app

Ask your notes anything, a new free tier, and a free trial on Sayo Pro Monthly. ASK YOUR NOTES. Type a question and Sayo answers it from everything you've recorded, with links to the memos it used. "What did I say I'd do this week?" "What am I still waiting on?" It answers only from your own words, and says so plainly when you never mentioned something. Also new: extraction styles per folder (a Work memo gets read for decisions and owners, a Journal memo for reflection), sharing any memo as text, Markdown or PDF, and a weekly recap that writes a real paragraph about your week instead of counting things. Free now gives you 10 memos EVERY MONTH with the full cloud AI, instead of 5 total forever. If you were already using Sayo, nothing you had is taken away: your existing install keeps folders, tags, audio editing, the Watch app, and backup export at no charge, and you get the larger monthly allowance too. Also in this update: - Fixed the Control Center quick-record button not opening the recorder - Fixed auto-file sending memos to the wrong folder - Locked memos now re-lock properly when you leave the app - Revert to Original restores your untouched audio after a trim or append - Appending to a memo can be paused, and tells you when it's re-transcribing - iPhone is now portrait-only, so the recorder no longer rotates mid-thought - Removed the unused Google sign-in code that was still shipping in the app - New privacy control: anonymous usage stats can be turned off in Settings

The big one. Sayo 1.6 adds: - Apple Watch app: record memos from your wrist - Folders: multi-select memos and move them, rename folders, folder counts - Tags: tag memos and filter by tag - Recently Deleted: deleted memos are recoverable for 30 days, plus undo - Locked memos: protect private notes with Face ID - Edit your audio: trim, record more onto a memo, merge memos, revert to original - Edit transcripts and re-extract tasks - Auto-file: Sayo suggests the right folder for new memos - Live transcript preview while you record - Lock Screen widget and Control Center quick-record button - Task due alerts, weekly digest, streak stats, custom check-in prompts - Export a full backup of everything Plus a waveform player with resume, sort options, and lots of polish.

- Pause and resume while recording: take a private moment without it landing in your note - One-time consent screen for cloud AI processing, with a Settings toggle to turn it off - Clearer privacy policy and terms reflecting how your audio is processed - More reliable saving if iCloud is unavailable - Fixes to Pro unlock across importing and the share extension

Sayo now opens straight to your notes, no sign-in required. Your memos stay in your iCloud, and Sayo Pro is simply your subscription. Plus reliability fixes for calendar events, reminders, and the recording Live Activity.
