Thought Relay: Fast Notes

Thought Relay is a lean notebook for ideas that arrive mid-task. Capturing, editing, searching, pinning, sharing and deleting notes are free, as are the Inbox, Next, Ideas, Words and Life channels and a live word count. No account is required for this.

Two optional one-time purchases extend it. For $0.99 you get voice capture with the original audio kept alongside the note, on-device transcription where supported, per-note locking with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode, and a live character count. For $0.49 you add spoken capture from Apple Watch, Quick Checklists synced with the paired iPhone, a recent-note glance and a complication; buy it on the paired iPhone. The developer states there are no ads, analytics or tracking, and Watch content stays between paired devices.

Why no subscription? The core is free and the extras are one-time purchases of $0.99 and $0.49 — no recurring fee.
