Splashdown
Notes from
your iPhone.
Press the Action Button, say what's on your mind, and it's in your Splashdown notes on your Mac or PC. It's a shortcut, so there's no app to install.
Open this page on your iPhone · iOS 15 or later · Splashdown 0.12 or later on your computer
Set it up
1. Add the shortcut
On your iPhone, tap Add the shortcut above, then Add Shortcut. Run it once from the Shortcuts app: allow dictation, and notifications if you'd like to see "Saved for Splashdown" each time.
2. Put it within reach
On an iPhone with an Action Button: Settings → Action Button → Shortcut → Splashdown Note. You can also add it to Control Center or the Lock Screen, put it on your Home Screen, or say "Hey Siri, Splashdown Note."
3. Turn on iCloud Drive on your computer
Your notes travel through your iCloud Drive. On a Mac: System Settings → your name → iCloud → iCloud Drive. On Windows: install iCloud for Windows from the Microsoft Store and turn on iCloud Drive. Then, whenever Splashdown is running, notes you said on your phone are added where dictations into a note go (Settings → Notes): your Inbox or today's daily note, with the time you said them.
Questions
Where do notes wait until my computer is on?
In iCloud Drive › Shortcuts, one small text file per note, named Splashdown and when you said it. Splashdown adds each one to your notes and deletes the file.
My notes are in Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive. Does it still work?
Yes. Notes from your phone always come through iCloud Drive, and Splashdown adds them to your notes wherever you keep them. To have your notes on all your computers, choose a sync service in Settings → Notes → Where your notes are kept.
Who hears what I say?
Your iPhone turns it into text with Apple's dictation, the same as the microphone key on the keyboard. Only the text is saved, to your own iCloud Drive. Splashdown never gets the recording.
Is there an app for Android?
Not yet.
