Nomen is your personal memory assistant. It helps you remember people, conversations, and important details simply by talking naturally to your phone. Inspired by the ancient Roman nomenclator, Nomen acts as your digital brain. You tell it things as they happen, and later you ask questions to recall them. No folders. No manual tagging. No effort. Just conversation. Save memories by typing or speaking exactly the way you think. • “Had lunch with Sarah. She mentioned her new job at TechCorp.” • “Mom’s birthday is next Thursday. She wants the blue cashmere sweater.” • “Project Alpha deadline is May 1st. Need two more engineers.” Nomen understands context, extracts important details automatically, and stores everything for you. Ask natural questions and get clear answers drawn from your own memories. • “What did Sarah say about her job?” • “When is Project Alpha due?” • “What does Mom want for her birthday?” Follow-up questions work seamlessly.

About

VoiceBrain

Read full description

VoiceBrain helps you capture ideas the moment they strike. Speak a thought — or type it — and VoiceBrain transcribes it, understands it, and files it as a task, note, reminder, or calendar event, automatically. Just talk (or type): • "Remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at 10" becomes a reminder. • "Buy oat milk and coffee" becomes a task on your list. • "Team sync Thursday at 3" becomes a calendar event. • "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 • Capture by voice or text — tap to record, or type it out, and mix both in one entry • Automatic transcription and smart sorting into tasks, notes, reminders, and events • Shared spaces — keep the things you and someone else both need in sync • Live co-editing — edit a shared note together in real time • Apple Calendar integration, so spoken events join the rest of your day • Sign in with Apple, no separate password VoiceBrain is a focused, private tool: no ads, no third-party trackers. Your recordings and transcripts are used only to give you back organized entries.
