Write vs Kikitori

Write is a quiet place for ideas, notes, and first drafts. It keeps the thought you are editing at the center of the screen while earlier context gently fades, helping you stay with the sentence in front of you. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT • Write one thought at a time in a calm, centered editor. • Tap any earlier thought to return and revise it. • Move between thoughts with the keyboard on iPhone or your Mac. FIND EVERY NOTE • Notes are saved automatically on the device you are using. • Browse recent notes in a clear library. • Search by title or any phrase. • Delete notes with a familiar, confirmed action. EXPORT YOUR WORDS • Export a clean Markdown file or multipage PDF. • Your words and their order stay intact. • Export files are created entirely on your device. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND MAC • Native layouts for a focused phone flow and an efficient Mac workspace. • System, Light, and Dark appearances. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, and Reduced Motion support. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Write has no account, advertising, analytics, or third-party server. Version 1.0 stores notes locally on each device and does not sync them between devices.

Turn your voice into text, right on your phone. This app handles transcription, dictation, and speech to text entirely on your device, with no limits on how long a recording can be or how many times you use it. ■ No time limits Transcribe a one-hour meeting or a 90-minute lecture start to finish. Use the app as often as you need in a month. There's no cap on transcript length or file size — it just keeps going until you're done talking. ■ Your audio never leaves your device All transcription happens locally on your device. This app has no server connection for your recordings, so there's nothing sent out over the network. That makes it a straightforward choice for meeting notes, interviews, or any conversation you'd rather keep to yourself. ■ Text appears as you talk Watch the transcript build in real time while you record, instead of waiting afterward. Each pause in speech starts a new paragraph, and every paragraph gets its own timestamp. ■ Transcribe files you already have Import audio you recorded earlier, or files exported from a meeting platform, and turn them into text. It works with audio you bring in from elsewhere, not only with recordings made in the app. ■ Automatic summaries After transcription, the app generates a short summary along with key points and action items. Choose a template suited to what you recorded — meeting, lecture, interview, or personal notes. On devices that don't support the on-device summarization model, it falls back to pulling the most important sentences directly from the transcript, and the app shows you which method was used. ■ Search across every recording Type a word or phrase and search through all your past transcripts at once. Tap any result to jump straight to that paragraph and play the audio from that exact moment. ■ Export your way Save transcripts as plain text (.txt) or subtitle files (.srt), or export the original audio, so you can hand your notes off to any other app. ■ Transcription in 30 languages The app understands Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and many more languages. The first time you use a language, the app downloads its transcription data (about 200–350 MB), and it asks you before the download starts. After that one-time download, transcription for that language works without an internet connection. ■ What this app doesn't do It can't automatically tell speakers apart — on-device speech recognition doesn't provide a way to identify who's talking, so this feature isn't offered. Paragraph breaks and timestamps are there to help you follow the flow of a conversation instead. It also doesn't record phone calls. Call-recording rules differ from country to country, so this feature was deliberately left out. It's built for in-person conversations, meetings, lectures, and personal voice notes. The app's display language can be changed from inside the app itself, separate from your device's system language setting. Whether you need an ai note taker for work, a way to keep dictation and meeting notes organized, or a recorder that turns speech to text automatically, this app keeps the whole process on your phone from start to finish.
