About

VoiceMind

Features
Read full description

VoiceMind turns voice recordings into knowledge you can actually find again. Record thoughts, meetings, lectures, or journal entries on iPhone or directly from Apple Watch. You can also import audio from other apps. VoiceMind turns it into a clean transcript, a useful title, and a focused summary. Instead of replaying long recordings, just ask: What did we decide? Where did this topic come up? Which task is still open? VoiceMind answers from your own recordings and shows the matching sources. VoiceMind pulls out key points, action items, and tags so long conversations become easier to act on. Save names, technical terms, and project words in Memories so transcripts and answers fit your world more closely. Ideas that continue stay connected. Add follow-up recordings to an existing thought, keep journal entries across days, and find everything in a calm searchable library. Face ID or Touch ID can lock the app when you want extra privacy. VoiceMind is a subscription service (VoiceMind Pro) available as an In-App Purchase. Start with 7 days free and cancel anytime in iPhone Settings. After that, the subscription renews weekly through your Apple ID. Privacy: https://voicemind-ai.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Tired of holding it all in your head? Mindrop is a voice-first to-do app for brains that don't run on neat columns. Tap, speak whatever's swirling around, and AI turns it into clean tasks โ€” with dates, times, and priorities already filled in. โ–  Speak it. Mindrop sorts it. Dump everything at once: "dentist tomorrow at 3, slides by Thursday, milk on the way home." Mindrop splits that into three tasks, sets the times, and lines them up for you. โ–  Built for ADHD and HSP minds Some days, writing things down takes energy you don't have. Mindrop won't shame you for that. Talk out loud โ€” your thoughts are now somewhere safe. That's enough. โ–  Key features - Tap-and-speak recording - AI extracts dates, times, and priority - Multi-task brain dumps split automatically - Subtask suggestions - Smart notifications and reminders - Apple Watch app (record straight from your wrist) - iPhone and iPad support - Dark and light themes โ–  Manual to-dos stay free Typing tasks the old way is, and always will be, free. Upgrade to Mindrop Pro for unlimited voice recordings and automatic grouping of related tasks. โ–  Privacy Your audio is used to build the task and then it's done. No ad tracking, no profile selling. You don't need a perfect productivity system. You need one that survives the days when nothing else does. Mindrop is built to be the lightest possible friction between a thought and a task. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://minddrop-legal.pages.dev/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://minddrop-legal.pages.dev/privacy/ MindDrop offers auto-renewing subscriptions (MindDrop Pro Monthly and Yearly).
