Field notes
The homepage lays out a spoken workflow across messages, files, Apple Notes, web pages, and paper captured by a camera. For paper, it says the app straightens the image and identifies amounts, dates, and possible actions. It also describes replacing phone numbers, email addresses, and account numbers with placeholders before AI processing, then restoring them on the Mac.
