The AI note taker that's already on your wrist. VoiceBridge turns your Apple Watch and iPhone into a voice recorder that takes the notes for you. Tap your wrist to record. Back on your iPhone, it transcribes on device, tells speakers apart, and writes up meeting minutes, to-dos and notes you can search and ask. Your audio never leaves your iPhone. VOICE RECORDER — ON YOUR WRIST • Tap to start on Apple Watch. Tap the screen to mark a moment. Hold to stop. • Start from your watch face, or set a schedule and get a reminder when it's time. • Record on iPhone too, or import audio and video (video is read on device for its audio only). • Long silent stretches are skipped, so your timeline stays clean. MEETING RECORDER & TRANSCRIBER • On-device transcription with speakers separated and punctuation restored. • One tap for meeting minutes: templates for meetings, interviews, 1:1s and lectures, plus a shareable summary. • Export to PDF, Markdown and subtitle files. AI NOTE TAKER — DECISIONS AND TO-DOS, DONE • Decisions and to-dos are pulled out of every conversation, each linked back to the original audio. • Set reminders on to-dos. Every morning, a one-page Daily Review shows what was decided and what's left to do. A SECOND BRAIN THAT KEEPS UP • Notes are sorted into topics automatically and connected across days. Save key points as cards, every line cited. • Ask: question your notes in plain words — "What did Chen and I decide about rebates?" — and jump to the moment it was said. LECTURES, INTERVIEWS, PODCASTS Record a lecture and get a clean transcript and study notes. Interview someone and get who-said-what. Listen to a podcast and keep the ideas. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Recording, transcription and speaker separation run on your devices. Your audio never leaves your iPhone, and watch recordings only go to your own iPhone. Online AI features send text only; names and amounts are masked first and sent only after you confirm. Nothing is stored or used for training. No account, no API keys to set up. Export everything any time. YOURS TO KEEP Recording, on-device transcription, speaker separation, glossary, search, export and Apple Watch recording are yours to keep. Meeting minutes, Daily Review, Ask and auto-organizing use an online language model and spend credits by length. Credits are sold in the app. Works with iPhone Duo: two panes when open, and records half-folded on a desk.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: smartLLM at Free against VoiceBridge's $6.99. VoiceBridge's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
