Passing Thoughts is a private voice-notes app: speak a thought, and it is saved, transcribed, titled, and found again when you ask — entirely on your iPhone.
Contact: info@passingthoughtsapp.com — include the app version from Settings (the line at the bottom) if you can.
Is my data private? Yes — everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no analytics. See the privacy policy. You can verify the app’s privacy statement in Settings → About.
Why do AI features seem off? Check Settings → Processing → AI status. It tells you honestly whether the on-device model is ready, still downloading, or needs Apple Intelligence turned on in iOS Settings.
The transcript looks different from what I said. Passing Thoughts shows a version cleaned for readability. Tap “view original” on the note to see the exact raw transcript. Editing the note always starts from the text you see.
A note says “Too long for AI features” or shows a language badge. Very long notes and notes not in English are saved and searchable as normal, but the AI features skip them — the badge is the app telling you that honestly rather than guessing.
Ask showed nothing, but I think the answer is in my notes. Ask shows only your own notes, and only the ones that answer the question; when none does, it says so instead of guessing. Try rephrasing with the words your note actually uses.
Where did insight cards go? Version 1.2 removed them. On the newest iOS they too often put unrelated notes together, so the app no longer shows them. Your notes are untouched.
Where do reminders go? Into a “Passing Thoughts” list in your own Apple Reminders app, only when you ask for one.
How do I delete my data? Delete notes individually in the app, or delete the app itself — everything it stored goes with it. Nothing exists anywhere else.
