With Koe you can: - Start recording in one tap - See a live transcript as you speak - Keep entries organized automatically by day - Add an optional title to each note - Share transcripts anywhere - Record from iPhone or Apple Watch No account. No subscription. No built-in AI. Just a fast, lightweight way to get thoughts out of your head and into a readable journal. Your entries stay local to your device.
