Capture your thoughts by voice or text
Volo's core capture flow is here. Tap to record a voice note or type a thought, and it lands in your Ideas stream - transcribed and analyzed automatically, even if you captured it offline. On iOS, a home-screen widget takes you straight into capture.

Voice & text capture
tap to record a voice note - up to 1 minute on Free, 5 minutes on Plus - or switch to the keyboard to type. Whatever's on your mind, captured in a tap.
Ideas stream
every captured thought appears on the Ideas tab, grouped by day, with a clear status as it's processed - transcribing, analyzing, or waiting for a connection - and a retry if something fails.
Capture offline
no connection? Your captures are saved and sent automatically the moment you're back online - nothing is lost.
Home-screen widget (iOS)
add a Volo widget to your home or lock screen and jump straight into voice or text capture without opening the app first.
Transcription & analysis
voice notes are transcribed and your captures analyzed automatically in the background, so they're ready to work with when you come back.

The thought-capture and publishing features arrive in upcoming releases.
Light & dark mode
the app now has a complete visual design that adapts automatically to your system's light or dark theme.
Navigation
a tab-based layout lets you move between the app's main sections.
Launch experience
a branded app icon and splash screen on every launch.
Legal documents
Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are reachable directly from Settings - tap either row to read them in an in-app browser without leaving the app.
Offline indicator
when your connection drops, a bar appears at the top of each screen within two seconds; it disappears the moment you're back online.
Update prompts
the app now lets you know when an update is available - a gentle reminder for optional updates, and a required-update screen when an older version can no longer run.
Motion & haptics
smoother transitions and subtle haptic feedback throughout, with respect for your Reduce Motion accessibility setting.
Permission requests
before asking for microphone or notification access, the app now explains why - no surprise system prompts.
Push notifications
groundwork for push notifications - the app can now register your device and show notifications when they arrive.
Security
new device verification helps confirm that requests come from the genuine app, protecting your account.
Faster updates
smaller fixes can now reach you over the air, without waiting for a full app-store update.
Development plan complete - ready to build
Internal release. There is no shippable product behavior yet. This version finalizes the full product specification and the development roadmap, so feature implementation can now begin.

every part of the app is now fully specified - from capturing a thought to turning it into a ready-to-post draft for each network.
Roadmap
a complete, sequenced development plan is in place across six sprints, so the build phase can start.
Setup documents and AI workflow
Internal release. There is no shippable product behavior yet; this version establishes the project's documentation structure and the Claude agent workflow that future feature releases will use. No user impact.

Documentation
the project now has a clear set of doc folders covering product strategy, architecture, specs, patterns, and security.
Workflow
a Claude-driven planning and build pipeline is in place. The setup is stack-agnostic, so future stack decisions plug in cleanly without rewriting the workflow.
