Catch the thought before it’s gone.

Type it or say it. Edmund’s on-device AI works out where it belongs and files it for you, so capturing an idea is one tap, not five.

How it works

Think it. Say or type it. Done.

The thought is yours. Everything after it is Edmund’s job.

Capture instantly

Type it, or just talk. Voice transcribes on-device and stops listening when you do. No faffing about.

Let the AI sort it

Every note gets read, classified, and dropped into the right project automatically. No folders to pick, no forms to fill.

Send it onward

When a note’s ready to become real work, route it straight to Linear or GitHub as a proper issue, and tidy the title and body first if you fancy.

Features

Everything you’d want, nothing in your way.

Capture by text or voice

Type it or talk. Voice transcribes on-device and stops when you do.

Brain dump mode

Talk for two minutes about six different things. Pause between thoughts and each one comes back as its own triaged note.

On-device AI triage

Every note read, classified by type and tag, filed into the right project.

Inbox review

A calm queue. Confirm or tweak Edmund’s call, then keep or route.

Projects & Areas

Organise into Areas and Projects, with smart lists that keep themselves tidy.

Keep or route

Keep it as a to-do inside Edmund, or send it onward as a proper issue.

Linear & GitHub routing

Turn a note into a real, well-formed issue, and edit the title and body first.

Reminders & nudges

Get nudged at the right moment, wherever the note went. In Apple Reminders too, if you like.

Apple Watch

Capture by voice from your wrist; it lands in your Inbox on the phone.

Widgets

Home Screen and Lock Screen: quick capture, inbox count, your last note.

Live Activity

See capture state live in the Dynamic Island while you dictate.

Share extension

Share text, a link or an image from any app straight into Edmund.

Siri & Shortcuts

“Edmund capture”, “Edmund inbox count”, and more, all hands-free.

Mac menu-bar

Capture and triage from the menu bar without leaving what you’re doing.

Private by default

Your thoughts stay yours

The triage happens on-device, so your half-formed thoughts never leave your phone. No account to create, no API key to find, nothing to sign up for to get going.

On-device by default. Apple’s on-device models read and classify your notes, free and private.
Bring your own key, if you like. Add an Anthropic key for a smarter cloud engine. It only swaps the engine. It never unlocks a feature.
Works offline. On-device triage needs no connection. Nothing waits on a server.

From wherever the thought hits

A thought rarely arrives when the app is open. Edmund meets it wherever it lands: your wrist, your Lock Screen, the menu bar, a shared link.

Private beta

Edmund isn’t finished. Come and use it anyway

It’s the build I use every day, and I’d love a few more people poking at it. It’s free while it’s in beta, it runs entirely on your device, and there’s no account to bother with. Put your name down and I’ll send an invite as they go out.

Integrations

When a note’s ready to become real work.

Route a captured thought out as a proper issue, title, body, and all. Edmund won’t pretend it ships things it doesn’t.

More to come, but only once they’re ready.

Apple-native

Built for every screen you own.

Capture on your phone, tidy up on your Mac. It’s all just there, kept perfectly in sync. One purchase covers the lot.

iPhone & iPad
iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 or later.
Mac
macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Apple Watch
watchOS 10 or later, for capture.
iCloud sync
Your notes, in your own iCloud.

On-device AI triage uses Apple Intelligence where available; on other devices it falls back to a basic on-device match, or your own Anthropic key.

Pricing

Start free. Pay only when Edmund’s earned a place in your day.

The free tier is the full experience with a natural ceiling, and nothing is feature-gated. Pro just removes the limits.

FAQ

The honest answers.

Yes. Triage runs on-device, there’s no account, and nothing leaves your device. Sync uses your own iCloud, and we never see your notes, your voice audio, or your captured thoughts.
No. Download and start capturing. There’s no sign-up, no email, no onboarding wall.
No. On-device AI is free and built in. You can add your own Anthropic key for a smarter cloud engine, but it’s entirely optional.
Linear, GitHub, Jira, GitLab, Shortcut, Asana, Todoist, ClickUp, Notion, Apple Reminders and Apple Calendar, with more only when they’re genuinely ready.
Edmund nudges you at the time you picked, wherever that note ended up. Reminders are separate from routing, so you can send a note off to Linear and still get poked about it on Thursday. Switch on “Show reminders in Apple Reminders” in Settings and those reminders also appear over there, in their own “Edmund Nudges” list, each one linking back to the note. It stays off until you turn it on.
That’s brain dump mode. Switch the capture screen from Note to Brain dump, then talk (or type) for as long as you like, about as many things as you like. Pause for a beat between thoughts and Edmund breaks the ramble into separate notes, triages each one on its own, and leaves the lot in your Inbox to confirm. On an iPhone or Mac with Apple Intelligence, or with your own Anthropic key, it splits on meaning as well as on your pauses; on an older device with no key a pause is the only boundary it has, so do leave one. The full text of what you said is kept either way, with every note linking back to it. Get it all out of your head in one go and let Edmund do the sorting.
Yes. Say “Edmund note” (or “Edmund capture”), and when it asks what to capture, dictate your note. It drops straight into your inbox to triage later, no app open. The trick is to start with the name. What won’t work is “Tell Edmund” or “Add to Edmund”: Siri reads “Tell …” as sending a message and “Add to …” as its own Reminders or Notes, and answers them itself before Edmund is ever asked. Open with “Edmund” and you’re fine. That’s Apple’s doing, not mine.
iPhone, iPad and Mac (a universal purchase covers all three), plus an Apple Watch app for capture.
Free, with a generous ceiling. Pro is £3.99/month or £29.99/year and removes the limits, with a free trial.
Because charging monthly for AI would mean running it on our servers, reading your notes to do it. Edmund won’t. Triage is on-device by default, or your own Anthropic key if you want a smarter engine, and paying never unlocks a feature. Pro only lifts the limits.
Yes. On-device AI triage works with no connection at all. Routing a note onward to a destination needs the network, of course.
Yes. Your subscription is managed through your App Store account. Cancel there and you keep Pro until the period ends.
