Field notes
The page describes a game workflow that combines a clock, move recording, rule checks, and post-game reports, with PGN export listed as an option. It names specific time-control formats, including Bronstein and multi-stage classical controls. The site says voice transcription stays on-device unless the device cannot recognize the language, in which case Apple's speech recognition service is used. The App Store release is listed for December 2026.
