Never lose your
thoughts again

If you have a busy mind, ADHD, or lose thoughts before you can save them, Olly helps you capture them quickly and easily.

Tap. Speak. Done!

Thought arrives — Olly the elephant struck by an idea

The moment a thought arrives, tap and say it. Olly turns your words into a tidy note, so you can get back to your day.

What people are saying

Fantastic app

Olly makes it ridiculously easy to jot something down the second it pops into your head, no friction, no overthinking. I’ve tried a bunch of note apps, but this is the first one that actually keeps up with how my brain works.

Ever opened your phone to save a thought, then forgotten it on the way? Record from the Lock Screen before something else grabs your attention.

Your words, but tidier.

Olly turns your recording into a near-verbatim note, keeping what you said, removing filler words and adding punctuation and formatting. All done automatically.

Automatic Organization

Each time you create a note, Olly files it automatically. You can create folders that fit the way you think and live.

Find it quickly when you need it

Every note is searchable the second it is saved. Search a half-remembered word and the whole thought comes back.

Write when speaking is awkward

In a meeting or half asleep? Just type your thoughts without worrying about spelling or grammar. When you save, Olly tidies and files the note automatically.

Keep your thoughts private

Transcription and tidying happen on your iPhone. Your notes never leave your device or your iCloud, and they are never used to train AI.

And so much more.
