Engram turns a spoken thought into a clean, organized note โ transcribed and structured right on your iPhone. No account, nothing sent to the cloud. Just press record or start typing. Engram is a quiet, private place for the words you want to hold onto, whether they're yours or anyone else's. Capture a fleeting idea, a lecture, a journal entry, or a long train of thought and get back a beautifully structured document, not a raw wall of words. FULLY CAPABLE OFFLINE Transcription and structuring happen locally, using on-device AI. Your recordings and notes never leave your iPhone unless you choose to sync them. Privacy is baked into the architecture at every level. FROM VOICE TO A REAL DOCUMENT - Record and watch the transcript take shape as you speak - Get it back as a clean outline or flowing prose โ your choice - A short summary at the top, so the gist is easy to find later - Import existing audio to turn it into easily readable and searchable notes ORGANIZED THE WAY YOU THINK - Notebooks and folders for your ideas, journals, lectures, and projects - Fast & local full-text search across everything - Full version history; nothing you write is lost - Export as Markdown; your data is yours to take anywhere HONEST PRICING The core experience (capture, transcribe, structure, summarize, organize) is free and works entirely offline. No trial, no account, no catch. Optional subscriptions add only what needs infrastructure: - Sync keeps your notes end-to-end encrypted and in step across your devices. Zero-knowledge architecture means they can't be read on our servers. Encrypted audio backup included. - Pro adds our most accurate cloud transcription for tricky names and jargon, sharper structuring, and processing speeds that only server-grade hardware can provide. Uploads are processed once and then discarded, never stored. Engram is built to feel like a familiar journal: warm, calm, and made to last. Your memory, kept private. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://littlefort.io/engram/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AI Chat Client at none against Engram's 4. Engram's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
