Some thoughts only arrive out loud — on a walk, in the car, at two in the morning — and die if they have to be typed. Tap once and talk. You say: "okay so um I was thinking about the the garden thing again like we should probably move the the tomatoes to the other side because they're not getting enough sun" A moment after you stop, the note reads: "I was thinking about the garden thing again. We should probably move the tomatoes to the other side — they're not getting enough sun." Hold the note and the first one is back, word for word. Nothing you said is thrown away, and you choose which of the two you see first. Whether you're catching an idea before it goes, keeping a diary you'd never sit down and write, getting a meeting down word for word, or just done with apps that want setting up first — it's one screen and one button. ONE SCREEN, ONE BUTTON • Writes as you talk, and tidies when you stop • Hold any note to read it exactly as spoken • Choose what a note opens on: as written, or as spoken • Slide a note away, with three seconds to change your mind • Search the way you'd ask a friend: "what did Tom say about grief", "ideas last week", "dentst" • Start a note from the Action Button or Siri: "Take a note in Bluub" • Your notes survive deleting the app IT NEVER LEAVES THE PHONE No account, no sign-in, no server, and no audio kept. Apple's speech model turns your voice into words as you speak, and Apple's language model tidies them. Both run on the phone itself. There is nothing to trust us with. BLUUB PRO, BOUGHT ONCE Free is the whole app: every note, kept and searchable, and exported as a text file whenever you like. Pro is for the people who stay: Medium cleanup that tightens as well as tidies, notes longer than three minutes, names spelled your way, automatic backup to your own iCloud, and five berry themes. One purchase, kept for good. No subscription. Bluub needs iOS 26. The tidying needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence; transcription works on any iPhone running iOS 26.
