Press one button, speak your mind — and it keeps the rest. Speak it turns your voice into text you can find again. Recording and transcription run on your iPhone — no account, no API keys, no server of ours — so those work fully offline. Apple Intelligence writes reports and summaries on device; on iOS 27 it can also use Private Cloud Compute for longer work, with a daily limit, without making your data accessible to Apple or anyone else. FROM VOICE TO DOCUMENT Press the Action Button on the side of your iPhone — or start from Control Center or the Lock Screen — and talk. Your memo becomes a transcript on your iPhone, then a clean, readable rewrite, then a report shaped by a prompt you choose or write. Point Form summary and Client Meeting are built in. RECORD FROM YOUR WRIST When your iPhone isn't with you, record on your Apple Watch. Takes queue on the watch and transfer back automatically. The Watch is for recording — transcripts and editing happen on the phone. IT ASKS SOMETHING BACK Every Daily Insight closes with a reflection question, so you get more out of your own words. Want a different angle? Write your own prompt and set the tone yourself. ORGANISED WITHOUT FILING Link any memo to a Contact or a Topic. Group a day, a meeting or a project into one summary. Push it into your Obsidian Daily Note — the app writes inside its own invisible markers, so nothing you wrote is ever overwritten. FREE — AND WHAT THE ONE-TIME UPGRADE ADDS Recording, on-device transcription, search, playback, iCloud sync, the app lock, Obsidian and ZIP backup are free, and always will be. A single one-time purchase unlocks the AI surfaces: reports, Daily Insights and multi-memo summaries. No subscription, ever. Your first transcription starts 7 days of everything. WHO IT'S FOR People who think out loud. Obsidian and second-brain practitioners. Anyone whose work happens in conversation — in Cantonese, English, or both at once.
