KUU

Tips

After you speak, it's still in your hands.

To keep the screen quiet, KUU keeps most of its controls out of sight. But you can always fix what was heard, or sort things by hand. Here are the ones that are easy to miss.

At the place for your thoughts

The screen you'll use most, pulled up from Home. What you sorted by voice gathers into four places. Most of the easy-to-miss moves are here, too.

Tend to items one by one

Tap

Tap a title to rewrite it

Tap the words of an item to rewrite them on the spot. Small mishearings can be smoothed out right here.

Long-press → drag

Move it elsewhere

Long-press an item and drag to move it freely between Now, Later, Park, and Let go.

Drag

Move it to a theme

The same drag also moves it onto a theme chip above. It joins that theme; drop it onto “Uncategorized” to remove it.

Tap

Tap the ○ to let go

Tap the small ○ at the start of an item to gently send it to Let go. You can undo it right away.

Tap

Add by hand with “+”

From the faint “+” at the bottom-right of each block, you can add an item there in text.

Group with themes

Long-press

Long-press a theme for its menu

Long-press a theme chip above to bring up Always show (pin), Edit name or color, and Let go. This is the way into a theme's settings.

Tap

Change name, color, and order

In the theme editor, tap the name to rewrite it, pick a soft color from the color dots, and reorder using the handle on the left.

Right after sorting

The moment just after you speak and it's sorted. If KUU's sorting doesn't sit right, tidy it here before you keep it.

Tap

Tap to drop what you don't need

Tap an item that doesn't fit and it fades out and drops away. Tap again to bring it back.

Drag

Drag to change where it goes

Drag an item to another block to change where it goes, right there.

Button

“Sort again” to fix the whole text

If something was misheard, “Sort again” lets you fix the whole transcript and sort it once more.

On Home

Some days, speaking aloud is hard. On those days, text works too.

Tap

Write with the keyboard

From “Write with the keyboard” at the bottom of Home, you can sort the same way in text, without using your voice.

Common questions

It doesn't sort the way I expected. The accuracy isn't quite there.

KUU's read on things isn't always perfect.

That's why you can always fix it by hand afterward (tap to rewrite, long-press and drag to move, or “Sort again”).

We'll keep improving how it hears and sorts, little by little.

You using it is what encourages us.

When I talk for a while, it all gets merged into one.

When sentences run on, the breaks can be hard to find.

As you speak, leaving a small pause — “this, (a breath) then that” — helps it split more easily.

For something you've already entered, adding commas and periods in “Sort again” helps it break into pieces.

If it still stays merged, you can split it with a long-press drag, or rewrite it with a tap.

It feels like I'm pushed to pay right away.

Speak, sort, look back — the heart of KUU stays free, always.

KUU+ is a quiet extra, for those who'd like to turn off ads or add a Face ID lock.

It's hard to use when I can't speak aloud.

From “Write with the keyboard” at the bottom of Home, you can sort the same way in text, without using your voice.

These hints appear gently on screen just once, the first time. If you miss them, that's fine — this page is always here to revisit.
