How the free minutes work

A spoken thought

The reset is dishes, clean sheets, trash out, calendar checked, and lunches sketched.

A note to return to

Maintenance works when it remains smaller than the life it supports.

Illustrative Sanctum note: Sunday Reset Without Becoming a Project

Illustrative notes with fictional content.

Keep the recording, read the transcript, and return to the note.

Keep it yours

Your note has a life beyond Sanctum.

Your recordings and notes live in ordinary files on your device. Open them in Files, copy them elsewhere, or take them into the tools you already use.

Online transcription and analysis send the audio or text you choose to a processing service after an in-app notice. Local recording and access to your files work without an account.

Does Sanctum work offline?
