The try box isn't switched on yet.

What happens to your text

  • Your text is sent to an AI model to read it, on a host that keeps nothing. We don't store it or log it.
  • Email addresses, phone numbers, links and card numbers are swapped for placeholders before it's sent. Still, take out anything private first.
  • Up to 8 tries every 10 minutes. What it finds is only shown to you. Nothing is sent, saved or added to a calendar.

It’s the same reader the Mac app runs (version extract-v11).
