Hi everyone - I'm Kevin Hudson, the developer of Doneward. I just launched 1.0 on the App Store and would love feedback from MacRumors folks.
Doneward is an iPhone app for capturing quick voice notes before they disappear. A typical flow is: record something like "remind me to call the dentist tomorrow morning and block 30 minutes Friday to review the trip plan." Doneward saves the recording, transcribes on-device where supported, and on Apple Intelligence-capable iPhones creates a clean note plus reviewable action cards.
The part I am most trying to validate is trust: would you be more comfortable with an app that shows the suggested Reminder or Calendar item for approval before sending anything, or does that still feel too much like automation?
A few details:
- Free download with a 7-day full trial; optional one-time lifetime unlock after that.
- No Doneward account, no subscription, and no developer cloud processing for memo content.
- Smart summaries and action extraction require Apple Intelligence.
- Without Apple Intelligence, Doneward can still save recordings, play them back, export your data, and keep supported on-device transcripts.
- Private iCloud restore can keep your memo library available after reinstall when signed into iCloud with the same Apple Account.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/doneward/id6768750641
Website: https://doneward.app
If you have tried voice notes, Reminders, or AI note apps before, I would especially love to know:
- Where would you expect this to fit: quick capture, meeting follow-up, errands, or something else?
- Does the Apple Intelligence requirement feel clear enough before download?
- Is the one-time lifetime unlock appealing compared with another subscription?
Thanks for taking a look.
