Help for the Jotwren app
Type or dictate one sentence, such as "dentist next Tuesday 3pm" or "milk, eggs and bread". Jotwren shows how it understood the sentence (reminder, to-do, event, list item or idea, with its day, time, repeat, people and place) and lets you fix any part with one tap before or after saving.
Open the Jot tab and start typing. Coming up shows what is scheduled, Sweep helps you give undated jots a home one at a time, and Look back is a calm weekly summary. Add the Jot control to your Lock Screen, or the Quick jot and Coming up widgets to your Home Screen, from the usual iOS menus.
Tap the day chip under your sentence to choose another day and time. Jotwren reads English phrases for now; day names, times such as 3pm or 15:30, relative phrases such as "in two hours" and repeats such as "every other Friday" are understood. Numeric dates like 3/4 follow your region's order.
Check that notifications are on for Jotwren in iOS Settings, and that the jot has a time or a day (day-only jots alert at the hour set in More). Focus modes can silence notifications.
These links are off by default and only add new items. Switch them on in More; iOS will ask for permission at that moment. If you declined, open iOS Settings, Privacy, Reminders or Calendars to allow it.
Tap the microphone key on the iOS keyboard and speak; the sentence appears in the Jot box like typed text. Jotwren itself never uses your microphone. If the key is missing, turn on Enable Dictation in iOS Settings, General, Keyboard.
The free version shows ads. In More, choose Go ad-free for the monthly subscription (manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings), use Restore purchases on a new device, or earn ad-free time with short videos.
Everything stays on your device. Export all jots as text or erase everything in More. Deleting the app removes the data.
