Free vs Pro

Guardrails

• Original transcript is preserved.
• Writing actions are Pro-only and require Apple Intelligence, Local AI Models, or configured Cloud AI.
• Writing actions run from the iPhone app review/menu flow, not from Apple Watch or Action Button capture.
• Generated writing stays review-first and editable.
• Email and Messages open drafts or system composer flows rather than sending automatically.
• Live/current-fact requests are blocked or held for review rather than invented.
• High-stakes health, legal, financial, employment, or personal messages require careful review.
