01 — Capture

Speak faster than typing.

Record a short voice note and attach it to a reminder. A title is optional when a voice note exists. Quick chips like 30 minutes or 1 hour set the time; weekday repeats live under more options.

“Call the dentist back at 3” · 0:04

02 — Remind

A notification, right on time.

Alerts are generated on the device. The banner is a short nudge — the full voice note plays after you open the reminder, and auto-play can be turned off.

03 — Follow through

Hear it. Got it.

Got It marks the firing handled. History keeps heard and missed items on this device, and a home-screen widget always shows the next reminder.

FAQ

How does Lightning Voice work?

Speak or type a reminder, schedule the time, and the app sets a local notification on your iPhone. When it fires, open it and play your recorded voice note, then mark it Got It.

Does the notification play my full recording?

No. The banner is a short alert. The full voice note plays after you open the reminder. Auto-play can be turned off in Settings.

Will I always be alerted on time?

Notifications follow iOS system settings. Focus modes, mute, Low Power Mode, or denied permission can limit alerts. Lightning Voice is not an AlarmKit alarm.

Where are my voice notes stored?

On your device. Deleting the app without a backup erases local content. This version does not sync with iCloud.

Does the app listen all the time?

No. The microphone is used only when you start a recording.

How do I manage Lightning Pro?

Purchases are handled by Apple. Manage or cancel a subscription in iOS Settings under your Apple ID → Subscriptions. Restore is available on the paywall and in Settings.
