Some thoughts don't have a date. "The car's making a grinding noise." "Sarah likes oat milk." "That thing I should ask the doctor about." They're not a meeting, so the calendar won't take them. They're not a task, so a to-do list makes them nag. Put them in Notes and you have to decide where they go — and then you have to remember to look. So they stay in your head, and they leak. Uttr is where you put a thought before you know what it is. Hold your Action Button, say it messy, in one breath, and put your phone away. It sorts what you said into the parts that belong somewhere — the dentist appointment into your calendar, the reminder into Reminders — and it keeps the rest as a memory, then hands it back to you later, on its own. SAY IT MESSY • One press from anywhere: Action Button, Lock Screen, Control Center, Siri, widget • Say several things at once — "dentist Thursday at 3, remind me to call mom, and the car's making a noise" becomes three separate cards • Fillers, false starts and "no wait, Wednesday" corrections are understood, not transcribed • Stop talking and it files itself. Lock your phone mid-thought and it still finishes IT COMES BACK • Dateless thoughts return on their own, spaced further apart as they settle in • Events land in Apple Calendar and tasks in Apple Reminders — your real apps, not another silo • A calm morning brief tells you what today actually holds, and what's still open • Nothing you say is ever deleted to make you upgrade IT BECOMES YOURS • Fix a card once — a spelling, a name, a category — and Uttr remembers forever • See and erase everything it has learned, any time • Everything stays on your iPhone. Speech is transcribed on-device, and on iPhones with Apple Intelligence the AI refining runs on-device too. No account. No ads. No analytics. Nothing to sell. FREE AND PREMIUM Free is a whole app: unlimited capture, unlimited events and reminders, and your seven most recent memories keep coming back. Premium keeps every memory returning no matter how many you have, and mirrors your items into Todoist, Notion or Google Tasks. Search is free, and stays free — finding what you saved is part of the return, not an upsell on top of it. Uttr isn't a notes app you have to manage. It's the place you throw a thought so you can stop carrying it. Terms of Use: https://uttr-app.pages.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://uttr-app.pages.dev/privacy

About

TalkMemo

Features
Read full description

Speak while the thought is fresh. Find it when you need it. TalkMemo turns voice notes into organised memos and helps you manage tasks and dated items. Choose Korean or English in Settings. PERSONALISATION THAT REFLECTS YOUR CORRECTIONS Start with useful default categories and keywords. If a memo belongs somewhere else, move it to the right category. TalkMemo remembers the expressions and categories you correct and uses them in later classification. Repeated title corrections can also become text-correction rules. Store up to 20,000 personal classification rules. Learning does not stop at the limit: new corrections are applied while less-confirmed, older rules are retired. This is not a limit on saved memos. Review, edit or remove learned patterns and pronunciation corrections in Settings. YOUR CATEGORIES AND KEYWORDS Create categories for your work, shopping, ideas or personal projects. Add the words you use most often to help classification. A dated action may be treated as a task; say the destination category explicitly or choose it on the save screen when you want a particular folder. DATES AND REMINDERS Try 'Add dentist tomorrow at 3 pm to my calendar', then check the recognised date. TalkMemo distinguishes alarms from ordinary notifications and asks you to check invalid or ambiguous dates. Reminder delivery depends on device support and permissions. An ordinary notification may be used when an alarm is unavailable. Sync to Apple Calendar manually from the calendar screen when you choose. QUICK CAPTURE AND EDITING • Capture, Quick View, Calendar and Library views • Search, edit titles, change categories and mark items complete • Quick capture with Siri • Voice capture on Apple Watch with transfer to iPhone • A detailed in-app guide in Korean and English GETTING STARTED Names, accents and background noise can affect early results. Personalisation adapts to the categories and expressions you correct; it does not retrain Apple's speech recognition model or remove every recognition error. Check important content and dates, and correct anything that is wrong. Personal rules are stored on your device. Speech-to-text may use Apple servers depending on your device and connection, so recognition is not always offline. Korean and English are selected separately.
