Feature Requests

The place where it's least safe to be messing with your phone or Apple Watch to record audio has no app to capture thoughts while driving.

Currently, when users iteratively add content to an existing note, the system transcribes the appended recording and attaches it to the end. However, many users (myself included) find that after each append, they immediately regenerate the entire note to see how the full content is shaping up. This results in multiple manual regenerations, adding unnecessary steps and wait time.

Apple Watch to capture those "shower thoughts". I have been carrying around these little 5" Field notebooks shoutout to Cal Newport for the idea of single use notebooks. However this feature essentially replaces the need. I should mention a widget/ app icon on the apple watch to add to compilation for quick access.

Priority: Low Background: A lot of users use spotlight search to lookup items on their phone/mac Feature Description: By incorporating Core Spotlight within your app, you can make notes indexable for spotlight Benefits/Rationale: Easy to lookup notes within Cleft app Potential Implementation: History Bookapp has great implementation to make offline saved pages searchable via spotlight search - here Impact: It would make notes within CleftNotes more accessible Additional Information: None

My eyes are getting a tiny bit worse every year 😭. I'd love to be able to increase the text size in the desktop app, either with Cmd +/- or via a setting in the preferences. I could achieve this via an OS-level setting, but like many folks I need slightly larger text for reading/writing documents than I do elsewhere in my OS. (This clearly has accessibility implications for folks with more extreme visual impairments too, which feels important given what Cleft does?)

I find myself referencing other documents at time and dictating to cleft. However, probably low need/edge case because there might not be a need if one makes the case to read the iPad and record on the iPhone.

I would like to be able to select Cleft notes and to merge them, following the order in which they are selected. The result would be one longer note — a compilation of the selected short ones. This fits many people’s patterns of writing a post or an article.

Currently working on version 1.9 of Cleft
