v1.14.0 - Your notes save to your device. Your settings follow you everywhere.

Your notes save to your device. Your settings follow you everywhere.

Platforms: iOS (build 134) · macOS (build 158)

Want these early? Join the beta.

Added

• Pick your settings once, see them everywhere. Theme, output format, note language, writing style, Notion auto-send, and your save-to-device choices stay in sync across every iPhone, iPad, and Mac signed into the same iCloud account.
• Every note saves to your device automatically. Saving notes as files on your device is free on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. With Plus, pick the folder yourself: your Obsidian vault, a NotePlan project, a Logseq graph, a Drafts folder, or anywhere you like.
• Keep the voice memo next to the note. Turn on the audio toggle in Settings and the original recording saves right beside the written note. Tap to replay anytime.
• Find your Cleft notes alongside everything else you’ve written. Title, tags, and dates travel with every note, so Obsidian, NotePlan, and Drafts can sort and search them the same way they handle your other notes. A small “made by Cleft” tag inside each file shows where it came from.
• See where Cleft is saving on your Mac. A new Show in Finder button in Settings opens your active save folder in Finder. Works whether you’re on Free or Plus, and whether you stuck with the default folder or picked your own.
• See how much space your voice memos are using. Turn on the audio toggle and Settings shows the number of files and total size at a glance.

Changed

• Spot your notes at a glance in your folder. Files are now named with the date and a few words from the note (like 2026-05-06-meeting-with-jonny) instead of a long ID number. Older notes get their new name the next time you edit them.
• Already saving to a folder? You get a heads-up first. The next time you open Cleft on Mac, iPhone, or iPad, a one-time screen walks you through what’s about to change and offers to open your folder so you can back it up.

Fixed

• Your notes look right in any language. Whether you use Cleft in German, Japanese, English, or anything else, Obsidian shows your title and tags correctly.
• The first time you open Cleft, granting mic permission won’t slow it down. Step out to Settings, allow the microphone, come back. Cleft picks up where it left off.
• Cancel a recording instantly on iPhone. Tap Cancel and you’re back to your notes right away, no half-second wait.
• Catch every word from the very start. Tap record while Cleft is still warming up and the opening of your sentence waits until the app is ready to transcribe, instead of being dropped.
• Switch screens without cutting your recording short. Swipe to another screen in the app on iPhone and Cleft keeps recording right through.
• Save the same recording from two devices, get one note. Tap save on your iPhone and Mac at the exact same moment and only one note ends up in your list.
• Tap Send once, get one Notion page. Whether you tap Send on iPhone or press ⌥P on Mac, exactly one page lands in your Notion database (not two).
• Adding to a note? Notion gets the update too. When auto-send to Notion is on, adding more audio to an existing note pushes a fresh page with the new and old transcript together, plus a refreshed summary.
• Notion errors point you straight to the fix. Every Notion error message now names the exact place to go (Settings → Integrations) instead of just saying “check Settings”.
• Plus on Watch and widgets the second you open them. Apple Watch recording and your Home and Lock Screen widgets know you’re a Plus subscriber right away, no brief flicker of the Free experience first.
• Your voice memo saves alongside every new note, right away. Turn on the audio toggle and the recording lands beside the written note the moment you save, not later.

Looking ahead

preview

v2.0 - Cleft on every device you own

Cleft on every device you own

Your notes go with you between iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android. Each device has its own full copy. Sync keeps them all the same.

Public alpha by June 2026. Cleft Plus subscribers get early access through TestFlight on iOS and Mac, and the open testing track on Android.

What’s coming

• Start on one device, finish on another. Begin a recording on your iPhone, keep going on your Mac. Each device has its own full copy of every note, so you can keep working even without internet. They sync back up the moment you reconnect.
• Cleft on Android. A real Android app, not a website wrapper, with the same recording and save-to-your-device features Mac and iPhone get. Transcription happens on your phone, not in the cloud. Your Plus subscription works on every device you use.

Join the beta

The TestFlight beta is a Cleft Plus perk. Apple’s TestFlight rules mean we can’t move free users in and out of the beta build without breaking their notes, so we keep it Plus-only. It’s also one of the ways we say thanks for backing the app.

If you’re a Plus subscriber, email [e-mail] with subject Beta and your Apple ID. We’ll send a TestFlight invite. You’ll see new features a week or two before they hit the App Store.

How we ship

We work in weekly sprints. Every release goes through testing and QA to minimise bugs reaching you, but it’s software, so things slip through. When they do, let us know right away.

It’s all the small things. 🎸

Share your feedback

We read every piece of feedback. “A preference for this would be sweet” or “this breaks my whole workflow, please fix”. We want to hear it. That’s how Cleft gets better.

If something looks odd, doesn’t work like you’d expect, or just feels wrong for how you use the app, tell us. We’re building this together.
