Read full description

Vox.md is a local-first quick capture app for Obsidian vaults and Markdown folders. Send text, links, photos, files, document scans, sketches, and voice to the right note without stopping to organize first. CAPTURE MORE THAN VOICE Add typed Markdown, a URL, photos or screenshots, files, a document scanner with on-device OCR, a sketch, or a voice recording. Combine several items in one capture, preview the result, then save it as plain Markdown. SEND IT WHERE IT BELONGS Capture Presets remember the destination and formatting for workflows such as your inbox, journal, task list, or meeting notes. Create a note, append or prepend to an existing file, insert beneath a heading, or write to rolling daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly notes. Each preset can keep its own template, metadata, attachment folder, filename rules, placement, and processing preferences. Override a destination or template for one capture without changing the preset. CAPTURE FROM MORE PLACES Use Vox.md from the app, Share Sheet, custom keyboard, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Shortcuts, or Apple Watch. Pending and failed deliveries remain available for retry, so a temporary folder permission or sync issue does not lose your work. PRIVATE VOICE TRANSCRIPTION Transcribe speech into text on your device with Apple Speech, Whisper, or Parakeet, depending on your settings and device. Audio and transcripts are never sent to Vox.md servers. Use offline dictation and voice typing from the custom keyboard, record on Apple Watch, or export transcripts as TXT, Markdown, JSON, or YAML. PLAIN FILES, NO LOCK-IN Vox.md writes standard Markdown to the folders and Obsidian vaults you choose. You do not need an account or a proprietary notes database. Your files remain readable in any Markdown app. New Capture and transcription require paid access. Choose Individual or Family: weekly, yearly, or lifetime. Eligible subscriptions include a seven-day free trial, then renew automatically at the displayed price until canceled in Apple Account settings. Existing purchases remain valid. Viewing and exporting existing history require no new purchase. PRIVACY Capture contents are processed on your device and saved or sent only to destinations you explicitly configure. This version removes custom app usage analytics and advertising attribution. Optional HTTP delivery sends the capture payload to your chosen endpoint; model downloads, quotes, and other connected features are described in the Privacy Policy. Permissions are requested for the capture features you choose. Earlier versions and retained service records are covered separately.

Knowritely is the AI keyboard that fixes, improves, and translates your writing — right inside any app. No copy-pasting into ChatGPT. No switching between tabs. Just tap one button and your message reads the way you wanted it to. WHAT KNOWRITELY DOES • Fix — Cleans up typos, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization without changing your voice. Perfect for the message you typed in a hurry. • Improve — Rewrites your draft to be clearer, warmer, and more polished. Choose the tone, set custom instructions, and Knowritely matches it. • Translate — Type in your language, send it in theirs. Works in 30+ languages, with translation built directly into Improve so a single tap can fix and translate at once. WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU TYPE Messages. Mail. Slack. Notes. WhatsApp. LinkedIn. X. Safari. Anywhere iOS lets you bring up a keyboard, Knowritely is one tap away. No special integrations, no extensions to install per app. PREVIEW BEFORE YOU SEND Every Fix / Improve / Translate result shows up as a preview card above the keyboard. Tap Replace to commit, tap Undo to revert, or keep editing. You stay in control — Knowritely never sends anything for you. CUSTOM INSTRUCTIONS Tell Knowritely how you write. "Keep it casual." "British English." "Always sign off with my first name." Custom instructions apply to every Improve, so the output sounds like you, not like a generic AI. PRIVACY-FIRST KEYBOARD Knowritely only sends text to our servers when you explicitly tap Fix, Improve, or Translate. Nothing is logged for training. We never read what you type passively, and Allow Full Access is only used to make those AI calls — exactly what Apple's keyboard guidelines require. PRICING Free to try with a daily allowance. Pro and Unlimited plans unlock higher limits, faster models, and priority quality on long passages. Subscriptions auto-renew through your Apple ID and can be cancelled anytime in Settings. WHO IT'S FOR • Non-native English writers who want to sound natural in professional settings • Native speakers tired of re-reading their own typos • Anyone who messages, emails, or DMs across languages • People who'd rather think about what to say than how to phrase it Knowritely turns "let me fix this real quick" into a single tap. — Terms of Use: https://knowritely.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://knowritely.com/privacy Support: https://knowritely.com/support
