Vocapa is my answer to a simple problem: thoughts arrive faster than I can type them, and voice memos pile up unheard. So I built a voice inbox. Push to record, speak, done. Vocapa transcribes the recording on your device, then uses on-device Apple Intelligence to give the note a title, a summary, tags, and — if you mentioned things to do — a task list. What was a raw recording becomes a note you can actually use. And because an inbox is not an archive, every note is meant to move on: share it to your task manager, your notes app, your messages — wherever it truly belongs — and archive it. Vocapa keeps the inbox empty, not full. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Everything runs on your iPhone or iPad. Transcription and enrichment happen on-device; the app makes no network connections of its own and works completely in Airplane Mode. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking. Your voice never leaves your hands. If you want more, you can optionally bring your own API key for cloud transcription or enrichment. That is strictly opt-in, per provider, with your key stored in the system Keychain — and it stays off unless you turn it on. YOUR NOTES ARE FILES, NOT HOSTAGES Every note is a plain Markdown file with its audio recording alongside it, stored in a local vault on your device. The format is Obsidian-compatible: open your vault in any Markdown editor and everything is simply there. No export step, no proprietary database, no lock-in. If you delete Vocapa tomorrow, your notes are still yours. WHAT VOCAPA DOES • Push-to-record capture — from the app or the widget • On-device transcription and enrichment: title, summary, tags, tasks • Correct and refine results before you share them • Share sheet forwarding to any app, then archive • Search across all notes • Obsidian-compatible Markdown + audio, stored locally • Full support for iPhone and iPad LANGUAGES Recording works in German and English, with 7 more languages available in Preview. The interface is available in 9 languages. FAIR PRICING, NO SUBSCRIPTION Vocapa is free to download with every feature unlocked for 30 days. After that, a single lifetime purchase unlocks it forever — no subscription, no recurring charges, no free-tier tricks. If you decide not to buy, your existing notes remain readable and yours. Vocapa is built and maintained by one person: me. If something doesn't work, my support email is in the app, and I read every message. Requires iOS 26 or later. On-device intelligence requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence.

Manche Ideen kommen nur einmal vorbei — und verschwinden genauso schnell wieder, wenn du sie nicht sofort festhältst. Einfall ist dafür da: Ein Antippen, du sprichst, fertig. Keine Tipperei, kein Umweg. Und das Besondere kommt danach — Einfall lässt deine Ideen nicht in einer Liste verstauben, sondern bringt sie von selbst wieder zurück, wenn du sie sonst vergessen hättest. EINE SEKUNDE ZUM FESTHALTEN Tippe auf den Mikrofon-Button und sprich. Einfall wandelt das Gesagte direkt in Text um — wo dein Gerät es unterstützt, komplett auf dem Gerät, ganz ohne Internet. WISCHEN STATT SORTIEREN Frisch aufgenommene Ideen landen in der Inbox. Rechts wischen sortiert sie in eine Liste ein, links wischen verwirft sie, hoch wischen legt sie für später zurück. EIGENE LISTEN, KEINE STARREN KATEGORIEN Lege deine eigenen Listen an, markiere Favoriten, durchsuche alles — die Struktur richtet sich nach dir, nicht umgekehrt. DER EIGENTLICHE PUNKT: WIEDERVORLAGE Einsortierte Ideen tauchen von selbst wieder auf dem Aufnehmen-Screen auf — und im wöchentlichen Rückblick bekommt wirklich jede Idee einmal eine zweite Chance, bevor sie in Vergessenheit gerät. JEDE IDEE DARF WACHSEN Text nachträglich korrigieren, Notizen ergänzen, Links und Bilder anhängen, verwandte Ideen miteinander verknüpfen. KEIN KONTO, KEIN SERVER, KEINE CLOUD Einfall braucht kein Internet, um zu funktionieren. Deine Ideen bleiben auf deinem iPhone — es gibt keine Anmeldung, kein Tracking, keine Werbung. Der nächste Einfall verdient mehr als eine Notiz-App, die ihn vergisst.
