Write

Just start writing.

Thoughts, notes, drafts, plans, lists — one page, without choosing what kind of note you're making first.

  • No folders to set up
  • No note types to choose
  • No Save button

Notes are kept the moment you write them and land in your timeline by the day you wrote them. Nothing to file, nothing to name.

A note in As Told called Weekend in Seattle: a heading, a line of prose, then a checklist with one item ticked, a numbered list of Saturday plans, and a bulleted packing list.
Structure

Shape it while you write.

A writing toolbar sits just above the keyboard — As Told's own, not a row bolted onto Apple's. Aa holds Heading and Subheading; then a bullet, a number, and a checkbox, one tap each.

  • Paragraph
  • Heading
  • Subheading
  • Bulleted list
  • Numbered list
  • Checklist

Or type it. Or say it.

Start a line with the usual marker and it becomes a list. Return carries the list on, Return on an empty item ends it, and a spoken command does the same thing hands-free. Three ways in, one set of shapes.

No bold, no italic, no colours, no font menu. Six structures is the whole vocabulary — which is why a note never turns into a document you have to maintain.

The As Told writing toolbar floating above the iPhone keyboard: an Aa style button, then bulleted list, numbered list and checklist buttons with the bulleted one highlighted, a divider, and a microphone.
Paste

Paste it without turning it into a wall of text.

Copy a plan out of a chat, a table out of a browser, a list out of a document. If the clipboard states what those lines were, As Told keeps every shape it has a place for.

A pasted note in As Told called Trip budget: a Fixed costs subheading above a two-column table of Item and Estimate rows — Hotel $1,400, Rental car $650, Boat tour $229, Flights $980 — then a Still to price checklist.
What comes across
  • Headings and subheadings
  • Paragraph breaks
  • Bulleted and numbered lists
  • Checklists you can still tick
  • Tables, as a table
  • Telugu, Hindi and English together

And what doesn’t.

Bold, italic, colours, fonts and page layout have nowhere to go in a note, so they simplify to text. Plain text is pasted exactly as it arrived — As Told never reads shape into lines the clipboard didn’t claim any.

Your words are not rewritten because you pasted them. This is clipboard compatibility, not an integration: As Told doesn’t connect to any other app or account, and never sees more than what you copied.

Voice

Or just say it.

Put the cursor where the thought belongs, tap the mic on the same toolbar, and speak normally. Your words return to that spot, as ordinary text you can keep editing.

  1. Tap
  2. Speak
  3. Keep writing
Spoken structure

A thought can arrive already organised. Say a clear, standalone command and the next thing you say takes that shape.

You say

Checklist. Book hotel. Next item. Rent car.

Your note
  • Book hotel
  • Rent car

Only an isolated command counts — ordinary speech that merely mentions one is left alone.

Telugu stays Telugu.

Hindi stays Hindi.

Switch whenever it comes naturally. As Told keeps each language in the script you spoke instead of forcing the whole thought into one language.

इस weekend घर जाने का plan है, but Saturday meeting हुई तो Sunday morning निकलूँगा. Tickets अभी तक book नहीं की.

A note in As Told titled Alaska trip idea, holding a spoken thought that moves between Telugu and English, transcribed in both scripts exactly as it was said.

Nothing to organize.

Notes appear in your timeline. Search when you remember the words, and the calendar is simply another way back to the day you wrote.
