You said it. Then you forgot it. brevva turns your voice into structured notes, automatically. Record a thought while driving, a meeting with a coworker, a reminder before bed. Come back later and find a clean title, a summary in your own words, and a list of what you committed to, with deadlines already set. Everything happens on your iPhone. No cloud. No accounts. No subscriptions. How it works You tap record and talk. brevva transcribes your words, identifies who said what, and extracts the important parts: what was decided, what needs to happen, and who is responsible. It organizes everything into four views. To-dos: every action item from every recording, grouped by urgency. Late, today, this week, later. Swipe to complete. Notes: all your recordings in one place. Voice notes and meetings, each with a title, summary, and the full transcript. Calendar: your week at a glance. Recordings appear alongside your calendar events so you can see what happened and what is coming. People: the people in your conversations. Who you are seeing next, what is open between you, and when you last spoke. brevva builds this from your voice, not from typing. Your morning briefing brevva gathers your day from your calendar, your to-dos, and your recent notes, then writes you a short personal paragraph delivered as a notification. You wake up and know what matters today. Plays back what you said Tap any sentence in a transcript and hear the exact moment. Speaker labels show who said what. Key moments are marked so you can jump to the important parts. Works with your keyboard brevva comes with a custom keyboard for quick dictation anywhere on your phone. Privacy is not a feature.
