Dumpr
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dumpr is the fastest way to get a busy mind onto your phone. Tap once, speak freely - a string of errands, ideas, appointments, half-formed thoughts - and Dumpr listens continuously, even through natural pauses, until you tap stop. It then separates your stream of consciousness into discrete items, classifies each one as a task, a calendar event, or a note, and routes every item to the right place: Reminders for tasks, Calendar for time-bearing events, and Notes for free-form observations. Optionally Things 3, if you have it installed. The whole flow is hands-free. You never type a category. Dumpr works it out. HOW IT WORKS Tap the app icon, the home-screen or lock-screen widget, the Action Button, or say "Hey Siri, Dumpr" - all open straight into a recording. Speak for as long as you need (up to three minutes). Dumpr transcribes continuously and never cuts off mid-thought during a pause. When you tap stop, a review sheet appears showing every detected item. Edit text, change a category, exclude an item, or approve the whole batch in one tap. Nothing leaves the app until you confirm. PRIVACY FIRST, BY DESIGN Every part of the pipeline runs entirely on your device. Speech recognition uses Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer framework. Classification uses Apple Intelligence Foundation Models on supported iPhones, with a bundled Core ML classifier as an automatic fallback on older devices. No audio, no transcripts, and no captures ever leave your phone. There is no Dumpr server, no analytics, no account, and no third-party SDKs. SMART SEGMENTATION AND ROUTING "Buy milk, lunch with Ali at 1 tomorrow, call the dentist Friday, that idea about the project" becomes four discrete items - each classified, titled cleanly, and routed correctly. Date and time spans are stripped from titles automatically, so your calendar entry reads "Lunch with Ali" rather than "Lunch with Ali at 1 tomorrow". Recurrence is detected too: "take vitamins daily" and "every Monday at 9" create recurring entries without any extra taps. ALWAYS REVIEWABLE A full captures inbox shows everything you have ever recorded. Tap any item to view it natively in Calendar or Reminders, or jump straight to the system app. Tap a brain-dump parent to see the original transcript alongside its routed segments. Edit any segment and re-route it to a different category whenever you like. SHARE A DUMP WITH A FRIEND Tap Share on any dump and choose a tone: cheeky or serious. Dumpr generates a universal-link that opens directly in the recipient's copy of the app, complete with the matching tone on their review sheet. Shared and received dumps appear in your inbox, clearly labelled, with filter chips to scope the view. The share URL carries the entire payload; Dumpr operates no server and stores nothing remotely. MORE WAYS TO CAPTURE - Action Button: assign Dumpr for instant recording. - Widget: tap from the home screen or lock screen. - Siri: "Hey Siri, Dumpr" opens straight into recording. - Share extension: share text or files from any app to Dumpr and run them through the same segmentation and routing flow. - Save to Notes: one tap sends the full original transcript to Apple Notes for a richer, free-form record alongside the routed items. PERFECT FOR - Post-meeting follow-ups captured while walking back to your desk. - School-run multitasking: three errands, a calendar event, and a creative thought in 30 seconds. - Late-night ideas spoken into the phone rather than typed badly. - Driving safely, with no dictation timeout to manage. - Sharing a list with a partner in a way that feels like a conversation. INTEGRATIONS Apple Reminders, Apple Calendar, and Apple Notes are included. Dumpr requires iOS 26 and a microphone. On-device speech recognition must be available for your language. Apple Intelligence is used where available and is not required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dumpr at none against Teleprompter Pro's 8. Teleprompter Pro's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
