TowniOS App
The Town iOS app gives you a native, mobile-first way to interact with your assistant — including Tasks, voice notes, and recording.
Availability
Town for iOS is now generally available.
- Distribution: App Store
- Best starting point: iOS feature page
If you previously used TestFlight, move to the App Store build to get ongoing general-release updates.
What you can do
Tasks
Review and manage assistant work on the go:
- See active tasks and unread activity
- Open task details from a native page or compact sheet
- Continue a task with a message to your assistant
- Mark tasks done or delete them when they no longer matter
Voice notes
Record voice notes to your assistant:
- Speak your request instead of typing
- Your assistant transcribes and processes it
- Get a response via email or in-app
On supported devices/OS versions, Town uses newer on-device speech capabilities for faster and more resilient transcription handling.
Example uses:
- “Remind me to follow up with Sarah about the proposal”
- “Research this company before my meeting tomorrow”
- “Create a routine that archives newsletters”
Recording
Capture and process audio:
- Record meetings or conversations
- Get transcriptions and summaries
- Extract action items automatically
Longer recordings keep clearer progress state, including active recording indicators and Live Activity support where available.
Widgets and shortcuts
Fast access from your Home Screen and Shortcuts:
- Ask your Townie widget — ask, talk live, or record, one tap away
- Needs you widget — a glance at what your Townie needs from you
- Start live chat and Record shortcuts
Notifications
Stay informed on the go:
- Approval requests
- Routine completions
- Important email alerts
Why the native app?
While the web app works on mobile, the iOS app provides:
- Better voice input — Native speech recognition
- Push notifications — Real-time alerts
- Widgets and shortcuts — the Ask your Townie and Needs you widgets, plus Start live chat and Record shortcuts
- Hardware access — Microphone and camera integration
The iOS app is especially useful for turning voice notes and recordings into tasks your assistant can keep working on.
