Shower Thoughts is a push-to-talk voice notes app for the thoughts that arrive in the cracks between tasks — walking, driving, the moment before you forget. Hold a button, speak, release. The recording is transcribed entirely on your device and saved as a searchable note. The audio is deleted the instant the transcript lands. No account. No cloud. No network requests. Works in airplane mode. — On-device speech recognition. Powered by whisper.cpp, a tiny open-source speech model that runs on your iPhone's own silicon. Nothing about what you say is sent to a server. There is no server. — Audio deleted on success. The recording is treated as transient working data. The moment the transcript is committed to the local database, the audio file is removed from disk. If transcription fails, the audio is kept so you can retry — then deleted as soon as the retry succeeds. — Search every word. Full-text search across every transcript you've ever saved. Find the thought you had on Tuesday by typing two words from it. — Export when you need it. One tap produces a JSON file of every note and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Save it to Files, send it to yourself, drop it into another app — it's your data. — Built for thinking, not curation. No tags, no folders, no categories. Search is the only way back to a note, because curating is the work this app was designed to avoid. Privacy specifics: • No data ever leaves your device — there is no server to send it to • No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs collecting anything • Microphone access is used only while you are actively holding the record button • Open source: github.com/kilsekddd/shower-thoughts
