Key features - Capture from Apple Watch with microphone or keyboard input - Save quickly when the moment passes, with the original capture timestamp preserved - Queue watch captures until iPhone processing and export are durable or safely retryable - Append notes to daily Markdown files instead of creating scattered one-off files - Use verbal macros to turn spoken triggers into Markdown formatting, dates, times, locations, and reusable text - Review daily notes by date from iPhone or Apple Watch - Keep your notes in plain text, in storage you control How it works Start a capture from the app or watch complication.

MacroMark is for note-takers, writers, field workers, Obsidian and Logseq users, and anyone who wants quick thoughts to land in a real Markdown system instead of a closed notes silo.
