VoiceBrain helps you capture ideas the moment they strike. Speak a thought β or type it β and VoiceBrain transcribes it, understands it, and files it as a task, note, reminder, or calendar event, automatically. Just talk (or type): β’ "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 10" becomes a reminder. β’ "Buy oat milk and coffee" becomes a task on your list. β’ "Team sync Thursday at 3" becomes a calendar event. β’ "Idea: a walking tour app for Berlin" becomes a note. Everything you capture lands in one place, sorted by type, so you act on it later instead of losing it. Features β’ Capture by voice or text β tap to record, or type it out, and mix both in one entry β’ Automatic transcription and smart sorting into tasks, notes, reminders, and events β’ Shared spaces β keep the things you and someone else both need in sync β’ Live co-editing β edit a shared note together in real time β’ Apple Calendar integration, so spoken events join the rest of your day β’ Sign in with Apple, no separate password VoiceBrain is a focused, private tool: no ads, no third-party trackers.
