Step by step

  1. Attach a screenshot or a file

    Tap the Attach key for images, hold it for files; pick up to 10 at once — photos in JPEG, PNG or HEIC, or any file. They land right where your cursor is in the agent's prompt, ready to send.

    Where: Attach

  2. Dictate instead of typing

    Tap the Voice key to open the voice bar. Choose the language under Voice input language. Speak, check the text, then press send yourself — nothing is sent on its own.

    Where: SettingsVoiceVoice input language

  3. Give the transcript a prefix

    A raw transcript rambles. Pick one of the five presets — such as Analyze, then confirm or Extract the tasks — and it is placed in front of everything you dictate, telling the agent to confirm before acting.

  4. Bring back a line you lost

    Typed a long prompt and hit Esc by mistake? Tap the History key. It lists earlier versions of the line you were typing; pick one and the line is back, in any agent's input box.

    Where: History

  5. Choose what Enter does

    Send sends the line. Chat mode makes Enter start a new line while an agent is running in the pane, so you can write a multi-line message and send it when you are ready.

    Where: SettingsKeyboardEnter key

  6. Pull a result back

    The Download key asks for a path on the host and saves the file on your phone.

    Where: Download

Good to know

  • Pasting something huge is safe: the app asks before a long paste, and hands a very long one to the agent as a file instead of flooding the prompt.
  • History stays private to the app and is cleared when you send the line.
  • Settings › Agent › Agent notifications tells you when an agent starts waiting or finishes, if your host runs Herdr.
  • Writing and saving your own voice prefix is part of Mochitao Friends; the five presets are free.
