Open a note: listen, send, save

A note opens with its one sentence as the heading, then what has happened to it, the recording, the transcript and the debrief. Everything you can do with it is on this screen.

Every guide · Ideas and where they stand

1. The top of a finished note.

A note opens on its one-sentence summary, then what has happened to it. This is the screen to check that a note was kept, sent or saved, and to listen to it again.

1. The note in one sentence, written by Apple's model on this device.
2. What happened to it: kept on this device, sent to whom and when, saved to which vault.
3. Play the recording. Tapping a line of the transcript plays from that moment.
4. Share or save the recording, for example to Files. It leaves the device unencrypted.
5. Send it: one button per recipient, encrypted to their key on this device.

2. The end of the same note.

Further down are the things you do less often: the clean-text experiment, saving to a particular vault, running the note again in another language, and deleting it.

1. Write a clean text: an experiment that rewrites the note as full sentences, using your own words from Settings.
2. Which vault to save into.
3. Save this note to the vault, encrypted, as one signed commit. Finished notes are saved on their own unless that is switched off in Settings.
4. Transcribe and debrief again, in the language chosen now.
5. Delete the note from this device. It asks first.

• Finishing saves to the vault; discarding is the awkward path: In progress. The issue says: "Built (untried on a device): the control that ends a recording is green with a tick and says the note is kept; Discard is a small red word at the top of the..."
