You're walking and ideas start coming. Stop and type each one? That's annoying. Keep walking and hope you remember? Good luck with that. Memo fixes this. Hit record, talk, keep moving. The app handles the rest—transcription, formatting, even pulling out the important bits. No typing, no lost thoughts. WORKS EVERYWHERE Walking to work? Record. In a meeting? Put your phone on the table. At the doctor? Keep it in your pocket. Memo runs in the background and catches everything. You just talk. ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS YOU The transcription is scary good. 12+ languages, and you can add your own words—client names, medical terms, that weird project acronym nobody can spell. It learns. TURNS RAMBLING INTO REAL NOTES Here's where it gets interesting. You talk for 20 minutes about three different things. Memo figures out what matters: • The key points (not everything you said) • Action items and deadlines • Important dates you mentioned • Formatted in clean markdown CHAT WITH YOUR NOTES "What did I say about the marketing budget?" Just ask. Memo searches your recordings, finds connections between notes, can even look things up online. The more you use it, the more context it has. MAKE IT YOURS Tell the AI how you like your notes. Short bullet points? Detailed summaries? Focus on action items? Set it once, or change it per recording. Your call. ABOUT PRIVACY Notes stay on your phone. Audio gets deleted after transcription (we don't want it either). Only the AI processing touches the cloud. We're not building a data business here. WHAT'S INCLUDED • One-tap recording, works in background • Transcription in 12+ languages • Custom dictionary for tricky words • Auto-formatting and structure • Action items synced to Reminders • AI chat that actually remembers • Search that understands meaning, not just keywords • Export to Markdown, PDF, NotePlan • Offline mode when you need it PEOPLE USE THIS FOR • Quick thoughts on the go • Meeting notes (finally, good ones) • Lectures and classes • Interviews and research • Doctor appointments (so you don't forget what they said) • Lawyer and accountant meetings • Therapy sessions • Journaling without the typing Try it. Your future self will thank you.

Can you write us hello@noteplan.co and elaborate, we would love to fix this and maybe check your logs if it’s really lost. It sounds like you recorded this on the Apple Watch? It should keep sending it (it would not delete it until it was sent successfully normally), so maybe it’s still there. The logs would help us identify what happened exactly (see in Memo AI’s Settings, and scroll to the bottom). ### 5/5 — Call summaries are sick! *2026-08-13* I’ve been using this since the beta. Eduard has done an amazing job both at the pace and feature set of this app. The new note layouts are really useful for catching what happened in a meeting and I am using it often! Keep it up. **Developer response:** Amazing, thanks, glad you like it! Speaker detection is also coming so its easier to see who said what. ### 5/5 — Espetacular *2026-07-24* Testei vários aplicativos e de longe, esse é o que melhor se integra ao iOS e Apple Watch, e o mais prático de usar. Poder gravar reuniões, conversas, consultas e etc. com apenas um toque, sem limite de tempo e com a possibilidade de perguntar à IA o que foi falado, já salvou demais minha vida. Recomendo fortemente! **Developer response:** Obrigado pela sua gentil avaliação e por ter dispensado o seu tempo para escrever uma. Fico muito feliz por saber que está a gostar do Memo AI. —Eduard ### 5/5 — Fast and useful *2026-06-29* I’ve tried a few of these apps. This is by far the best. Being able to convert items into reminders is fantastic. If you use NotePlan, then this is amazing. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review! Glad that Memo is useful for you :) ### 5/5 — Fantastic AI Tool *2026-06-02* I took a 30 minute, highly technical, medical podcast and feed it to Memo AI. The summary was spot on. Detailed in all the right areas. Accurate and concise. Finding more and more use day to day. In addition, seamless integration with NotePlan. If you’re a NotePlan fan you have to try this. It’s amazing. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Glad it already works so well, a bunch of improvements is coming up :) ### 5/5 — Memo AI Review *2026-05-26* Memo AI has rapidly become a central app for my workflow. Adding the Watch version has made it even better. Eduard has done some impressive work on Mamo AI and NotePlan. **Developer response:** Thank you for writing this review, appreciate it! And I’m happy that Memo is useful for you! ### 5/5 — Okay then Amazed *2026-05-20* I was already an avid Wispr Memos user. I just figured this would be just like Wispr Memos but would plug into Note Plan, which I was trying to use anyway. The first test run was hitting the record button while at the eye doctor with my wife, and then I forgot about the recording and went to go back and look at it later. I was blown away. I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to make it work with Note Plan, but as far as a dictation and action plan program, this app is amazing. I will gladly pay the $50 every year and will never unsubscribe. Within the first month of downloading it, they already added watch support and CarPlay support. This developer is outstanding. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review, glad you like Memo AI and that it helps you! You can export Memos right into NotePlan (also automatically). — Eduard ### 5/5 — Great new app *2026-05-19* I am using this app every day. It is great. This is a great update. It now works with my watch and lock screen. **Developer response:** Amazing! Glad you like it :) ### 5/5 — The Apple didn't fall far from the tree. *2026-05-18* Just like NotePlan, this app is a well thought out, clean and a thoughtful implementation. I'm a big fan of NotePlan and you can tell it's from the same developer. Just like NotePlan, I'm sure there will be more iterations and it will keep getting better and better and most importantly, Eduard really listens to his users, and is super responsive. Many thanks.🙏 **Developer response:** Thanks for this kind review! Just released an updated and working hard on more improvements :) ### 4/5 — Great little app – for selected languages *2026-05-11* I really enjoy the app – and love to support the developer – but I should probably have thought a bit more about language support. Danish gets quite weird when Memo (and Apple) thinks it’s Dutch… **Developer response:** Thank you for the review, please submit a request to add Danish to the list of transcription languages (so you can select it directly vs “auto detect”). Many languages are supported, but we have added initially only the transcription languages in which the app itself is translated. Auto detection works mostly, but in similar cases can mix up things, that’s a limitation of the transcription AI model. ## Frequently asked questions about Memo AI ### Does Memo AI have ads?
