Memo — Private Voice Journal

Memo is a private voice journal. Talk on a walk, and it writes the entry on your iPhone.

Tap once, speak freely, and Memo transcribes what you said and writes it up as a clean diary entry, saved as Markdown in a folder you choose. It is built for walking, driving, or any moment when talking is easier than typing.

YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS
Recording and transcription happen entirely on your iPhone. Your audio is never uploaded. Entries are saved as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, so they are readable anywhere and outlive the app.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Memo writes your entry using Apple on-device intelligence, so nothing leaves the device at all. If you would rather use a cloud model, you can connect your own API key for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenRouter. Even then only the text transcript is sent, never your voice.

NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING
There is no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising, and no Memo server. Nothing to subscribe to.

WHAT YOU GET
- One-tap recording that keeps working with the screen locked, and survives a crash
- On-device transcription with Parakeet or Whisper, in English, Spanish and more, with the language detected automatically
- Entry, summary, and any action items you actually said out loud
- Two Markdown files per recording: the finished entry and the plain transcript
- Save to your iPhone, Files, iCloud Drive, or Google Drive
- Entry types for journalling, notes and meetings, or your own instructions
- Rewrite any entry with a different model, without re-recording

No streaks. No scores. No advice you did not ask for.
