Hemory listens, always on — wiring real memory into your agents. Everything you live through settles into a private, searchable memory. What was decided in yesterday's meeting, what a client asked three weeks ago, the idea you had on a walk. No notes to take, nothing to dig through. WHO IT'S FOR Founders, consultants, salespeople, and lawyers—anyone whose work is more conversations than they can remember. HOW IT WORKS Pair Hemory once. Listening runs on iPhone and Apple Watch, manual or scheduled. A standard MCP server opens that memory to the agents you already use: Claude, Codex, and other MCP clients. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio stays on your listening device. You decide when Hemory listens, and you can turn it off anytime. Free Trial gives you a one-time 10 hours of listening. Choose a plan once you've used it up.

Memova brings your recordings, notes, and ideas together in Timeline, Records, and Search. Record on iPhone or Apple Watch, then transcribe on your device—even offline. Keep the original audio for playback alongside your transcripts. Start locally without an account, and choose whether to enable automatic transcription for new recordings. Timeline organizes your Apple Watch recordings by hour. Optional Pro cloud features create hourly notes, identify daily events, suggest ideas, and prepare My Day reviews using your selected work hours. Read your review as a clear narrative with relevant words from your day. Use Records to capture notes, save drafts, and revisit conversations. Send an idea to Spark to discuss it, explore questions, and develop it further. Search your saved material, or use Ask to ask questions with relevant context from your records. My Voice helps identify your own speech on device. With your permission, Memova can associate existing Apple Health heart-rate measurements with your identified speech. Health access is optional. When cloud generation is enabled, relevant words and their matching heart-rate measurements may be sent together for AI processing. Local recording and transcription remain available without Pro. Cloud features require an account, internet access, and an active Pro subscription. Purchase or restore subscriptions through the App Store and view billing details in Memova. Obtain permission before recording conversations, and review important AI-generated results before relying on them. Privacy Policy: https://memova.ai/privacy Terms of Service: https://memova.ai/terms
