Teika vs Whenly

CATCH THE THOUGHT BEFORE IT’S GONE. Record on iPhone or Apple Watch and turn your voice into private, editable notes. Copy a thought straight into your next message, find it later in your notes, or automatically add new notes to Apple Reminders or Things. HOW IT WORKS • Start from what is closest. Use the app, Apple Watch, a widget, Control Center, or Shortcuts. On iPhone, you can also say “Siri, start recording with Teika.” • Talk until you are done. Teika keeps listening when you pause to think and stops when you tap again. • Keep the words. Every transcription is copied to your clipboard and saved in your notes library. Open a saved note to edit its text or copy it again. • Turn thoughts into tasks. Enable Apple Reminders or Things in Notes Settings to automatically add each new voice note to your task list. YOUR NOTES, YOUR TASK LIST Choose a list in Apple Reminders and add notes with no date or schedule them for today, without leaving Teika. Prefer Things? Send new notes to its Inbox or Today; Things must be installed and opens briefly to add the task. Task integrations are off until you enable them. Only new notes are exported; existing notes and later edits stay in Teika. Notes recorded on Apple Watch are transcribed on your iPhone, with task delivery continuing when Teika is open and idle. If a task needs attention, retry or skip it in Notes Settings. Check your task app before retrying an unconfirmed delivery to avoid duplicates. PRIVATE, ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION Teika runs its speech recognition model on your iPhone. Your recordings are not uploaded to a Teika server, and your speech is not sent to an AI service. After setup, transcription works in Airplane Mode. Record on your paired Apple Watch and the clip is transferred to your iPhone for local transcription. The Watch can queue recordings while disconnected. If you enable task integrations, exported note text may sync through your Reminders account or Things Cloud. ONE-TIME SETUP Teika needs a one-time speech-model download of about 0.5 GB. Before it starts, Teika shows the size and provider and asks for your permission. Free. No account, ads, subscription, or tracking.

Whenly keeps your personal timelines in view: how long you've gone without something, how long until an important date, when you last did something, and when a subscription renews. WITHOUT See how long you've gone without something. Record an episode while keeping your main period going, or start a new period. Set a goal and keep your progress visible beyond 100%. UNTIL Count down to birthdays, trips, deadlines, and repeating dates. Set reminders, mark events passed, or reschedule expired one-time countdowns from Archive. SINCE Remember your last haircut, workout, filter change, or call home. Keep completion history and set reminders when something needs attention again. SUBSCRIPTIONS Add services manually and track prices, currencies, billing periods, trials, and renewal dates. Record payments you've made and view planned monthly and yearly costs separately by currency. Manage or cancel the actual service with Apple or the provider. MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE • Editable presets for all four counter types • Groups, manual ordering, goals, history, and focused charts • Home Screen widgets and local reminders • Optional iCloud sync, Face ID app lock, and private counters • Full JSON export and conflict-safe import • Archive and Trash with history-preserving restore and confirmed permanent deletion • Native iPhone and iPad experience on iOS and iPadOS 18 or later APPLE CALENDAR Add the next Until occurrence through Apple's event editor. You choose whether to save. The saved event is a separate copy; later changes do not sync with Whenly. PRIVATE AND FREE Whenly works without a Whenly account and keeps your counters available offline. You choose whether to sync with iCloud, export or share data, or add an event to Calendar. Whenly is free, with no ads, tracking, or paid features. For iCloud sync, update Whenly to 1.2 or later on all your devices.
