Read full description

Say what's on your mind and get a clear Note back. MindDrop turns a voice recording or a written thought into a structured Note with a title, key insights, questions to explore and possible actions. Save your Notes as Markdown files in a folder you choose, like iCloud Drive or your Obsidian vault, so your own notes app or AI tools can pick them up. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Record up to 30 minutes in English, Dutch, German, French or Spanish β€’ Stop recording and get your Note right away β€’ Start recording in one tap with the Record widget on your Lock Screen or Home Screen β€’ Remove questions, actions, insights or topics you don't need β€’ Edit the Note yourself and choose whether to process your changes β€’ Review and correct the original transcript before saving your Note β€’ Remember people's names in a Personal dictionary to guide future transcription β€’ Choose a different folder for each Note without changing your default β€’ Export saved Notes as readable text to Copy, Apple Notes and compatible apps β€’ Send feedback and feature ideas from Settings β€’ Write a Note when speaking isn't convenient β€’ Keep every Note in the app, even if saving to your folder fails, and retry anytime PRIVACY AND CONTROL MindDrop has no account or login. With your permission, your recording or text is sent securely through MindDrop to OpenAI to be transcribed and shaped into a Note. MindDrop does not keep your audio, transcript or Note on its servers. Your Notes stay on your phone and in the folder or app you choose. Names you choose to remember are stored on your device and sent as spelling hints with future recordings. Existing Notes remain available if you decline processing, cancel a subscription, use up your allowance or go offline. INCLUDED AND SUBSCRIPTION ACCESS Three processed MindDrops are included, with the full voice and written experience. After that, the monthly subscription includes 100 processed MindDrops and 300 voice minutes per billing period. Price and currency are shown by the App Store. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Restore purchases and Manage Subscription are available in the app. Writing a Note yourself, saving it in the app and saving Markdown to a folder remain available without a subscription and don't use your allowance.
