Some of your clearest thoughts arrive on a walk. An idea clicks. A conversation makes more sense. You remember something you want to hold on to. Then you get home and can't quite find it again. Fieldnote is a voice journal for those moments. Say the thought into your Apple Watch and keep walking. When the recording reaches your iPhone, Fieldnote turns it into a searchable Page made from your own words. No Watch? No problem. Fieldnote works on your iPhone, too. YOUR WORDS COME FIRST Read what you said, correct a transcription mistake, or listen to the original recording. Tap a phrase to hear that moment again. When there's something worth noticing, Fieldnote can add a short note in the margin. When there isn't, your Page stands on its own. PERSONAL MEANS PERSONAL Recording, transcription, and margin notes happen on your devices. No Fieldnote account. No journal-content server. No advertising or analytics about your activity. Audio stays on your devices; optional private iCloud backup is for Pages and notes, not recordings. Protect your notebook with Face ID or your iPhone passcode. TRY IT WITH A REAL THOUGHT Make a guided first Page, then make three more Pages whenever something comes to you. No deadline and no automatic charge. After that, unlock Fieldnote for $39.99 in the US. One purchase. No subscription. Prices vary by country. Your existing Pages remain readable, searchable, and exportable. New recordings stay safe while they wait to become Pages. Existing lifetime purchases remain unlocked, and earlier fourteen-day trials keep their original end date. TAKE YOUR WORDS WITH YOU Export your Pages and notes as Markdown or JSON. Your writing doesn't have to stay in Fieldnote. REQUIREMENTS Recording, transcription, reading, search, editing, playback, and export work on iPhone 12 or later with iOS 26 or later. Margin notes require Apple Intelligence on a supported iPhone. Apple Watch is optional; the Watch app requires Series 6, SE (2nd generation), or later with watchOS 26 or later.
