What makes it different
  • Money never goes through the app; fines and payments are settled between friends outside it
  • Fines can be anything friends agree on—pizza, coffee, beer, or money—not just currency
  • Transparent tab system where friends see every edit and late ticks don't erase fines
  • Automatic syncing with Apple Health and Health Connect eliminates manual tracking
  • One-day grace period to catch up on missed habits before fine is recorded
  • Verbatim by default—leaves grammar and slang alone, unlike most AI dictation that automatically tidies speech
  • On-device recognition option on Apple Silicon keeps your speech processing entirely on your Mac
  • Transparent claims you can verify—signed, notarized, listed frameworks, and audit log visible in the app
  • Built by one maker as a native Swift app designed to feel natural with the keyboard
  • Works system-wide in your text fields without floating windows or interruptions
