Unwind: Voice Journal

Unwind is a voice journal. Press record, talk, and your words get written down for you — on the device in your hand, by the device in your hand.

Nothing you say is uploaded. There is no account, no sync, no analytics, and no server to trust. Your recordings and transcripts live in your device's protected storage and stay there.


TALK THE WAY YOU THINK

• Just talk. No prompts, no template to fill in
• Recording keeps going when you lock the screen or switch apps
• Your words appear live as you speak
• The edge of the screen glows gently with your voice


WRITTEN UP FOR YOU

• Transcription runs entirely on device
• Entries get a title automatically
• Clean up a transcript to drop filler words and false starts. Your original is always kept
• Summarize a long ramble into a few bullets


YOURS TO KEEP

• Play any recording back, with scrubbing and 15-second skips
• Entries grouped by day, newest first
• Deleted entries wait 30 days in Recently Deleted before they're gone for good
• Lock the whole journal behind Face ID or Touch ID


Free. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no ads.


A NOTE ON REQUIREMENTS

Unwind runs on iPhone and iPad.

Transcription uses Apple's on-device speech model, which iOS downloads once. After that it works offline, including in airplane mode. If the model isn't ready yet, Unwind still records, then writes the entry up automatically later.

Automatic titles, transcript clean-up, and summaries use Apple Intelligence and need a compatible iPhone or iPad. Recording, playback, and transcription work without it.
