Too many conversations, too little time to write things down? SpoknLog turns your voice into a searchable knowledge base - no typing, no folders, no effort. Press REC. Speak. Done. AI processes your recording in seconds: transcription, title, summary. And when you forget what the mechanic said about your brakes, or that idea you had on the bus - just ask. ——— HOW IT WORKS 1. Record a note - one tap, speak naturally, any language 2. AI processes it - transcription, title, and summary in seconds 3. Ask whenever you want - "what did I say about that project?" or "when is my dentist appointment?" 4. Set reminders by voice - "remind me tomorrow to send the invoice" 5. Use CarPlay - same voice flow, hands-free, right from your car display 6. Record from Apple Watch - from your wrist, without reaching for your phone ——— WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR After meetings - "Client said budget is 15k, proposal due Friday, contact is Sarah from accounting." Done in 30 seconds. Ask about it next week. Doctor visits - "Take vitamin D, 3000 IU in the morning, also reduce salt and coffee." Never forget medical advice again. Ideas on the go - stuck in traffic, walking the dog, falling asleep. One tap, say it, move on. With CarPlay, you don't even need to reach for your phone. Everyday life - shopping lists, recipes, gate codes, who borrowed what, what you promised to whom. ——— ASK LIKE YOU'D ASK A FRIEND No tags. No folders. No searching through files. Just speak: "What did I say about the vacation?" "Which books did I want to read?" "What did we agree on Friday?" SpoknLog searches your notes and answers - and you can tap the response to see which notes it used as source. ——— VOICE REMINDERS Say "remind me tomorrow to call the dentist" and SpoknLog will notify you at the right time. Create reminders naturally while recording - no forms, no date pickers, no extra steps. ——— CARPLAY Record notes and ask questions hands-free, right from your car display.

AI responds through your car speakers. ——— APPLE WATCH Record notes straight from your wrist, even when your iPhone isn't in reach. One tap — speak. Stop — and the recording lands on your iPhone automatically when it's in range. Perfect for walks, workouts, the kitchen — wherever you don't want to dig out your phone. ——— QUIET AND OUT OF YOUR WAY No spam. No forced sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Open, record, close - and get back to life. Your notes are yours. We don't sell data. We don't train AI models on your content. Audio is deleted immediately after transcription.
