QuickCast is the fastest way to capture a voice message and ship it to a webhook. Record a thought, tap once, and it lands in Slack, a Zapier flow, your own server, or wherever else your workflow lives. Core features โ€ข Instant one-tap recording, optimised for speed. โ€ข Real-time speech-to-text transcription that runs entirely on-device and works offline โ€” your audio is never sent off your iPhone to be transcribed. โ€ข Unlimited webhooks with custom headers, methods, timeouts, retry policies, and per-webhook WiFi-only delivery. โ€ข Multiple audio formats: AAC, WAV, Opus, FLAC. โ€ข Configurable sample rate, channels, bit rate, and quality presets. โ€ข Offline queue with automatic retry when the network returns. โ€ข Full recording history with waveform playback, share sheet, and per-recording detail view. โ€ข Home screen and lock screen widgets, plus Siri and Shortcuts integration. โ€ข Storage management with automatic cleanup rules. Privacy first QuickCast does not require an account. There are no ads, no third-party advertising SDKs, and no advertising identifiers. Recordings, transcripts, and webhook settings live on your device and are only ever sent to the webhooks you configure. Anonymous usage analytics and optional crash & error diagnostics are strictly opt-in, off by default, and processed by privacy-focused EU-hosted services. Neither ever includes your audio, transcripts, or webhook details, and both can be turned off any time in Settings โ†’ Privacy. Record. Send. Done.

About

Unofficial Claude Code Client

Read full description

Made this app for myself initially, decided to make it free for everyone. Do not use this for serious projects, keep it mostly for inconsequential hobby work. You will need to register an account with Anthropic and configure Claude Code on your machine, I am not affiliated with them in any way. I was tired of using SSH clients to check on Claude Code sessions, so I decided to make an app that interfaces a little more cleanly. It hooks onto pre-existing tmux sessions (or you can start a fresh one into any directory) and checks for an Claude Code session that was happening in that path, then it picks up from there. There might be bugs here and there, feel free to report them in the support page, I'll try and get around to them. Bear in mind, Claude Code sessions used from the app will always have what's equivalent to the `--dangerously-skip-permissions` flag, so keep regular backups alongside kind of git history going.
