Picture folders and on-device text recognition • Picture folders: create a folder that holds only pictures, add photos or screenshots in bulk, and browse them in a grid. • Recognize text in every picture at once: swipe a picture folder to turn the whole folder into Markdown notes, one note per picture, with the picture's name, date and size at the end. Runs on device; only text it can read is kept. • Scan from the notes list: Scan Text or Scan Document is now one tap away, no need to open a note first. • Pick several photos at once when attaching to a note. Music and Voice • Music can play MP3s straight from the Lode/mp3 folder in iCloud Drive, including subfolders. No import needed. • Playback remembers where you were: the queue, the track and the tab come back after a restart. • Loop is on by default and can be turned off; switching between in-order and shuffle keeps the current song playing; every playlist has a sleep timer. • Recordings name themselves from the first words you say; timed recordings stop on their own; optional auto-transcription after each recording. • Weekly recording reminders: one tap on the notification starts recording. • Swipe a recording to rename it; export a recording together with its transcript. Everyday polish • A short welcome on first launch and a sample note to start from. • Note list shows date and size on one line; swipe for full details. • Clearer empty screens, more of the interface translated, and the free-tier file limit is off in this version.

About
Type a note, record a voice memo, scan a document — and every one becomes a plain, open file you own: Markdown, .m4a audio, or PDF, synced through your own iCloud. No account, no lock-in, no tracking. CAPTURE ANYWHERE • Write Markdown notes, organized with familiar folders and #tags. • Record voice memos and turn them into text on-device (offline, private). Timed recordings stop by themselves; weekly reminders can start a recording with one tap. • Scan Text (OCR) or Scan Documents straight into a note as a PDF — right from the notes list. • Add photos, videos, sketches, and any file as attachments; pick several photos at once. • Picture folders: keep a folder of photos or screenshots, then recognize the text in every picture at once — one Markdown note per picture, on device. • Share into Lode from Safari, Mail, Files, and more. PLAY, LOOP & FOCUS • Play your own audio and music — recordings, lectures, language lessons, podcasts — with background playback and Lock Screen / Control Center controls. • Drop MP3s into the Lode/mp3 folder in iCloud Drive and they show up ready to play; no import step. • A-B repeat: loop just one section of a track, perfect for language practice or learning a passage. • Sleep timer: stop playback after a set time, or when the current track ends. • Build playlists, shuffle, and repeat. Great for looping a listening set. YOUR FILES, YOUR RULES • Notes are real .md files; recordings are real .m4a; scans are real PDFs. • Export any note to a self-contained HTML, PDF, or TextBundle, or share the raw Markdown. • Stored in iCloud Drive, so they sync across your devices and survive a reinstall. • Delete safely: notes go to a recoverable Trash, deleted recordings can be restored, and every save keeps a version history you can revert to. BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • On iPad: a desktop-class three-column layout (folders -> notes -> editor), keyboard shortcuts, multi-window, and drag & drop to and from other apps. • A live Markdown preview, document outline, and side-by-side diff for comparing files. WORKS THE WAY YOU THINK • Tags and wiki-style [[links]] connect your notes. • A handoff "Inbox" collects everything you capture in one place. • Open formats mean your notes and audio are ready for any AI tool or editor you like — today and ten years from now. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no login, no ads, no tracking. • Speech-to-text runs fully on-device. Your data never leaves your device unless you sync it through your own iCloud. Lode keeps your raw material in your hands, in formats that outlast any single app.
