About

Narro

Read full description

Narro is a calm, private voice journal for capturing thoughts, ideas, tasks and reflections before they disappear. Speak your note, review the transcript, refine the final text and save what matters. Narro is designed for people who think out loud, work through ideas by speaking, or want a simple way to turn quick voice moments into organized journal entries. With Narro, you can: • Capture voice notes, ideas and tasks • Review the raw transcript before saving • Refine speech into a cleaner note • Add manual entries when typing is faster • Organize entries by category, language and status • Create and manage tasks from your thoughts • Review your journal with built-in analytics • Export notes as text, Markdown, PDF or AI-ready prompt packages • Optionally keep selected audio recordings for later playback or retranscription • Protect the app with Face ID, Touch ID or device passcode Narro supports a calm workflow from capture to review. You can record, check what was captured, choose what to keep, and return to your day without turning your journal into a noisy productivity system. Privacy is central to Narro’s design. The app does not require an account, does not use advertising, and does not include analytics or tracking. Notes, tasks and saved audio are managed on your device. Support reports are user-initiated and do not include your private journal content automatically. Narro is built for private thinking, daily notes, project ideas, personal reflections, follow-ups and the small thoughts that are easy to lose.
