Speak it. It's sorted. AI Quick Memo is a local-first voice organizer for iPhone. Press and hold, say what's on your mind, and the app writes it down, pulls out the date and time, and files it as a to-do or a memo. Everything runs on your device. CAPTURE IN ONE HOLD — Hold the middle button and speak. The Whisper model is bundled with the app, so it transcribes your words on your iPhone — in multiple languages, with a live waveform so you can see it listening. Release to stop. No upload, no waiting on a server, and it still works on a plane. TO-DOS THAT FILL THEMSELVES IN — Say "submit the weekly report before 3 PM Friday" and you get a to-do with the right summary, date and time, filed automatically. Repeat it daily, weekly, on weekdays, on weekends, or monthly. Filter by Today, All, In Progress, Expired and Completed, see the whole month in Calendar View, and optionally write any to-do into your system calendar with an alert. MEMOS THAT STAY FINDABLE — Anything that isn't a to-do becomes a memo. Sort memos into categories, pin the ones you rely on, tag them with hashtags, and search across summaries or full transcripts later. TYPE IT, PASTE IT, OR SCAN IT — Not in the mood to talk? Type it, or paste text from your clipboard. Take a photo and drag the handles over the paragraph you need — on-device text recognition pulls out the words and files them the same way. TODAY'S LIST ON YOUR HOME SCREEN — The widget keeps your most recent to-dos in view, so you know what's next without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN — • Transcription and text recognition run entirely on your device • No account, no sign-in, no ads • Your recordings, to-dos, memos, clipboard text and calendar data are never uploaded • Import and export as JSON, so your data is always yours to move AI Quick Memo is for anyone who thinks faster than they type.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quick Notes at none against Multi Diary's 1. Multi Diary's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
