Dear ideaShell Users,
As a designer who types slowly, I often find myself unable to quickly capture my thoughts through typing. So I usually opt for handwriting notes on my iPad instead of typing, even though it can be inconvenient due to the iPad’s size. However, the emergence of ChatGPT has made me rethink my approach to note-taking, such as using voice to record thoughts. This shift has reignited my interest in an early idea and prompted me to start designing this app.
ideaShell is A Tool for Thinking and Memory
Traditional note-taking and inspiration software merely scratch the surface of recording ideas—they act as external storage, unable to evolve beyond bits and bytes. In comparison to pen and paper, their only advantages are easier retrieval and portability, but the difference is not significant. We harness the power of AI to help people record thoughts faster and think more effectively, turning daily musings into actionable insights, and ultimately serving as a secondary brain to foster personal growth.
About idea
• Good ideas are always fleeting.
Ideas are spontaneous and often emerge abruptly. Due to the complexity and slowness of typing, many ideas are lost. That’s why we choose voice input and integrate it with your mobile device to capture inspirations as swiftly as possible. (For example, Siri, Shortcuts, Action Button, etc.) The content, enhanced by AI, is structured logically, distilled to its essence, and stripped of unnecessary filler, resulting in clear, efficient notes that are easy to understand.（Of course, it also supports recording ideas via keyboard.）
• Good ideas should never be static.
A brilliant spark is often just the beginning. Based on your inspirations, you can engage in intelligent conversations with AI, continuously asking questions and discussing to gain new insights, ultimately leading to more complete thoughts and multi-dimensional considerations.
• Good ideas should never remain just ideas.
The true value of notes is not just in their creation but in the subsequent personal growth and actions they inspire. With Smart Cards, AI can transform your ideas into a guide for action—whether it’s a travel itinerary, a speech, or a to-do list. ideaShell isn’t an all-in-one product; it prefers connectivity. Through automation and APIs, your content can seamlessly integrate into your existing app workflows.

Never miss an idea. We aim for the quickest recording of ideas, encouraging continuous reflection and development into actions, much like how a grain of sand in a shell is refined into a brilliant pearl. Every idea deserves the chance to become a pearl. This is also the inspiration behind the name ideaShell.
Everything starts from a Dot. As we look to the future, ideaShell is not just about capturing ideas but nurturing them into plans, actions, and reflections. Our upcoming updates promise to make recording even more intuitive and your interactions with AI more insightful.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s ensure that no good idea remains just an idea. Let’s transform each spark of creativity into a pearl of wisdom. This is the heart behind the name ‘ideaShell’—a nurturing shell where ideas are protected and polished until they shine.
Warm regards,
Founder, RoundRedDot Inc.
