Answers to common questions, and a real person if you need one.
Say "project" followed by a name to start a project, and "end project" to close the title — after that you can talk freely without it being captured. Say "task" followed by a description to log a task, and "end task" to close it. Say "project" again anytime to switch to a new project mid-recording.
All four keywords are customizable in Settings → Keywords, including "variant" chips for words the mic tends to mishear (like "intact" for "end task").
Open a recording in Voice Memos, tap Share, and choose Personal PITA. The app transcribes it, finds your keywords, and takes you to the review screen. You can also import audio files (.m4a, .mp3, .wav, .caf) from the Files app using the waveform icon on the dashboard.
Green means the transcription looks clean. Orange means it's worth a glance. Red means the mic likely struggled — tap the task to fix the text before committing. Nothing is saved until you approve it.
The parser needs to hear a keyword to structure your speech. If nothing matched, check that you said your project/task keywords clearly, or review your keyword settings. Tasks spoken before any "project" keyword still get captured under an "Untitled" project — they're never thrown away.

Turn on reminders in any project's detail screen. Choose daily, weekly, or biweekly, and an intensity — Gentle, Normal, or Persistent. Reminders arrive as standard iOS notifications at 9:00 AM.
