NoteChirp turns your voice into a perfectly structured task list in seconds. If you have ADHD, or you just forget things the moment your hands are full, NoteChirp is the fastest way to turn a passing thought into a task you'll actually see again. Hold the button, say what's on your mind — a to-do, a reminder, a grocery list — and AI sorts it into the right place automatically. Most productivity apps fail at the moment that matters most — when an idea hits and your hands are full. NoteChirp solves this by making capture effortless: hold the button, speak naturally, and AI does everything else. Your thought becomes a titled, categorised, prioritised task before you've put your phone down. HOW IT WORKS 1. Hold the record button and speak naturally. Say anything: "Call the accountant before Thursday about the Q2 invoices" or "Pick up milk on the way home" or "I should build a habit tracker someday." 2. NoteChirp transcribes your voice with Whisper, then uses Claude AI to extract the title, category, priority, due date, and type — automatically. 3. Your task appears in the right section of your dashboard instantly: Today, Upcoming, Someday, or Ideas. FEATURES • Voice-first capture — one hold, zero friction • AI structuring — title, category, priority, and due date parsed automatically from natural speech • Smart dashboard — tasks sorted into Today, Upcoming, Someday, and Ideas sections • Manual entry — type tasks when voice isn't practical • Categories — Work, Home, Personal, Fitness, Ideas, Errands • Priority levels — Low, Medium, High with visual indicators • Due dates — set naturally in speech ("next Friday", "tomorrow morning") • Task detail view — edit any field after capture • Mark complete — swipe or tap to check off tasks • Pinning — pin critical tasks to the top • Settings — default category, morning nudge, haptic feedback • Local-first — your tasks stay on your device, no account required • Dark, minimal UI — designed to reduce friction, not add it WHO IT'S FOR NoteChirp is built for anyone whose best ideas arrive at the worst moments: in the car, mid-workout, just before sleep, elbow-deep in a project. If you've ever thought "I'll remember that later" and didn't — this app is for you. PRIVACY NoteChirp sends audio to OpenAI Whisper for transcription and to Anthropic Claude for structuring. No audio is stored after processing. No account is required. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
