About Flint
Flint is a native iOS and Android app for capturing ideas by speaking instead of typing. A recording can run as long as needed, with no time cap, and the app transcribes it and produces a summary in one of four styles: a standard note, a todo list, a story told in first person, or a format the user defines. Results can be regenerated with an extra instruction. A chat feature searches across saved notes, answers questions and can add events to the device calendar. Audio is kept on the phone, and a fully on device mode is available. Pricing is one time: Essentials at 11 USD and Pro at 16 USD at launch, plus a 4.99 USD credits pack.

- Unlimited recording length with background capture
- Four summary styles including custom formats

- YouTube link summaries with credits or Pro
Pricing details
Essentials and Pro are one time purchases at launch prices of 11 USD and 16 USD, and a 4.99 USD credits pack adds cloud transcription hours.
