short answers about gummy. the same answers live in the app under help.
what is gummy?+
an iPhone app so you never lose a good idea. you say it out loud, gummy writes it down, keeps the good bit and brings it back over time.
what does it cost?+
nothing while it's in beta. after launch, the whole core of gummy stays free, and there'll be an optional gummy plus for more room. no surprise paywalls.
which phones does it work on?+
iPhone 11 or newer with iOS 26. smarter idea names and summaries need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or newer). Android isn't planned yet.
do i need an account?+
no. there's no sign-up and no login. your ideas are kept on your phone.
how long can i record?+
as long as you like. gummy keeps going if your phone locks, and a call pauses it.
does it work with headphones?+
yes. with AirPods or other headphones in, gummy records with their mic. you can switch this off in settings.
is the ai on my phone?+
yes. idea names and summaries are made on your iPhone, and so are your words on iPhones and languages that support it. gummy has no servers of its own. the privacy page has the details.
what languages does it understand?+
the languages your iPhone's speech recognition supports, including english, swedish, german and many more. you can switch the language on any idea.
how do i record?+
tap the gummy and talk. it keeps listening hands-free, even when your phone locks. tap the gummy to pause and again to pick up, tap good bit when it gets good, and done when you're finished. then keep it, or throw it away.
what's a good bit?+
tap good bit right after you say something worth finding again. gummy keeps the 10 seconds before your tap, plus a beat after. it stays marked, glows yellow when you read along, and it's what gummy plays first when the idea comes back.
when do ideas come back?+
every idea you keep comes back on its own: first after a week (or the number of days you choose), then a little later, then after a few months. you can pick an exact day for any idea too. gummy never sends more than one a day, or anything during quiet hours.
what does places do?+
if you switch places on, gummy remembers the neighbourhood where you said an idea, never the street. ideas show up on the map and can come back when you're near that place again. it all stays on your phone.
what happens when i let an idea go?+
it moves to recently let go. you can bring it back for 30 days. after that it's gone forever, audio and words.
where are my ideas kept?+
on your phone. your recordings and words never leave it unless you share them. if you ask Claude to think an idea through, only the words go, and only when you tap send.
why are some words wrong?+
gummy writes your words on the phone, and sometimes it mishears, especially names or switching languages. tap the language chip on an idea to write it again in another language, or turn on whisper in settings for more accurate words.
can i fix a word it got wrong?+
tap the word. you can hear that moment, type what you said, and gummy remembers it for next time, so names get written right.
can i put two ideas together?+
yes. in the jar, hold a gummy and drop it on another idea. you can split them back apart any time from the ··· menu.
