- The public beta uses TestFlight; transcripts are generated on-device, and syncing relies on the user's iCloud account.
Field notes
A narration can be grouped with a day's photos, titled, and kept alongside additional versions, such as a parent's and a child's account. The app offers picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or voice-only output in portrait, landscape, or square formats; tapping a transcript line jumps to that moment. The homepage says photos remain in Apple Photos, transcripts are processed on-device, and syncing uses the user's iCloud rather than Photo Relato servers.
