Speak your thoughts. Xtraktr listens, then AI asks you the one question that moves your thinking forward. Most voice notes are recordings you never come back to. Xtraktr turns a brain dump into a real conversation: you talk through your idea however it comes out, it asks a focused follow-up, you go deeper. By the end of a short session, something vague becomes something you can actually act on. Bring in outside content too. Share a Reel, an article, or any link, and Xtraktr transcribes it on your device and interviews you about it, so you can turn someone else's spark into your own take. When you're done, export any session into the format you need. The AI runs on your device. No account. No data collection. Your words are never sent to our servers. WHAT YOU GET • Speak freely. No typing or structure required up front. • On-device AI. Follow-up questions are generated locally, not on a server. • Import anything. Pull in a link, Reel, or article and talk it through. • Get interviewed. Answer focused questions that build a real point of view. • Export in any format. Turn a session into something you can send. • Multi-turn sessions. Keep going until the idea clicks. • Auto-generated titles. Every session saved and named automatically. • iCloud sync across all your Apple devices. • CarPlay support for hands-free capture while driving.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: TextMate at 16.0 against Xtraktr's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
