MD Inbox vs Offhand

A drop zone for the markdown documents your AI assistant writes. MD Inbox watches a folder in iCloud Drive on your Mac. When Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other AI tool saves a markdown file there — a plan, spec, code review, design doc, meeting notes — it appears on your iPhone within seconds. Read it on the go, pin the ones that matter, delete the rest. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick any folder in iCloud Drive as your inbox. 2. Copy a short prompt into your AI agent's system prompt. 3. From now on, finished documents your agent produces show up here. FEATURES • Live iCloud sync — files appear seconds after your agent saves them • Date-grouped sidebar: Pinned, Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, Older • Swipe to delete, tap to pin, multi-select for batch cleanup • Auto-delete after a configurable threshold to keep the inbox tidy • Pinned and read state sync between devices via iCloud • Native markdown rendering with code blocks, tables, and images • Share extension — send markdown from any app THREE BUILT-IN AGENT PRESETS • Plans & Specs — agent auto-saves substantial deliverables • On-Demand — agent saves only when you ask • Quick Captures — short, timestamped notes No account, no server — your files live in your own iCloud Drive.

You talk. You get a note with a title, headings and action items. Record a meeting, a lecture or a thought on a walk, and when you stop, Offhand turns it into a transcript and a structured note you can read, search and share. All of it happens on your iPhone with on-device AI. No cloud, no account, no subscription needed. VOICE MEMO TO TEXT, MEETING TO NOTES Offhand does not shrink a two hour meeting into three sentences. The on-device AI rewrites your transcript into a readable note that keeps the details, with headings, bullet lists and action items, and gives it a short title. A meeting becomes a document with decisions and next steps. A lecture becomes notes with sections. ALREADY HAVE RECORDINGS? Import any audio or video file and it becomes a note like any other. Voice Memos, Zoom recordings, screen recordings, lectures, interviews, and calls. For a video, Offhand takes the audio track and does the rest. Pick it with Import in Settings or share it from another app, up to two hours each. Your first three imports are free, one file at a time. After that, import is part of Offhand Pro. BUILT FOR LONG RECORDINGS Record up to about two hours. Transcription runs while you are still speaking, so even long meetings are ready moments after you stop. Recording continues when you lock the screen or switch apps. Transcription is saved as it goes, so if the app is interrupted, Offhand picks up where it stopped. Finishing a note keeps running after you leave the app, fully in the background on iOS 26 and newer.

WHY YOU CAN TRUST IT Most voice to text and AI note apps upload your audio to a server and promise to be careful with it. Offhand cannot leak your recordings, because there is no server. Speech recognition (OpenAI Whisper) and note writing run as on-device AI, 100 percent offline. Turn on Airplane Mode and everything still works. Notes are stored in an encrypted database protected by your iPhone, usage and crash reports can be switched off in Settings, and the full source code is public, so you can check all of this yourself. GOOD FOR - Meetings and stand ups, decisions and action items captured - Doctors, lawyers and consultants with confidentiality obligations - Students turning lectures into notes - Journalists and researchers WHAT IT NEEDS On-device AI needs a recent iPhone with enough memory and about 3 GB of free storage for a one time download. Offhand checks your iPhone at first launch and tells you honestly if it will not run well. Notes in English, German, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian.
