Features & Capabilities

Markdown Voice Memos turns your voice into beautifully structured notes. Record in lossless orcompressed quality, get instant on-device transcription, and export everything as Markdown — ready for Obsidian, Logseq, Notion, or any notes app.

Lossless & Compressed Audio Record in pristine 24-bit Apple Lossless (ALAC) — Choose from five quality modes: Compressed Mono for the smallest files, Compressed Stereo for richer audio at low storage cost, Lossless Mono and Lossless Stereo for studio-quality voice notes, or Spatial Audio on iPhone 16 and later for immersive recordings with ambisonics.

Real-Time Transcription Every recording is transcribed on-device as you speak. Tap any word in the transcript to jump to that moment. Search across all your recordings by what was said, not just the title.

Markdown Export Each recording automatically generates a Markdown file with customizable YAML frontmatter — title, date, duration, location, tags, and more. Start with built-in presets for Default and Obsidian workflows, or create your own custom presets. Drag to reorder properties, add custom fields, and toggle what gets included.

Smart Titles Recordings are automatically named using the method you prefer: date and time, your current location (like "Coffee Shop" or "Downtown"), or an AI-generated summary of what you said — all processed on-device.

Record From Anywhere Start recording from the app, your Apple Watch, Siri, Shortcuts, Control Center, or the Action Button. A Live Activity keeps you in control with recording duration in the Dynamic Island, even after you leave the app.

Apple Watch Record and play back memos directly on your wrist. Recordings sync automatically between iPhone and Apple Watch, including titles and edits.

Spatial Audio Playback On supported devices, adjust spatial recordings with Cinematic Audio Mix — choose between Cinematic and Studio rendering styles and fine-tune the intensity in real time.

Import & Share Import audio files from other apps using the Share Extension. Export recordings as Markdown with embedded audio links and full transcriptions.

Save Anywhere Store recordings in the app or choose any folder — including iCloud Drive — for a seamless knowledge management workflow. Pair your audio with auto-generated Markdown files.

Privacy First All transcription and AI features run entirely on-device. Your recordings and transcripts never leave your phone.

User Reviews

Previously rated this a one star and can’t find an easy way to change it. After an update erased all of my data & I sharply responded, the developer reached out & offered to help. After a week of trying it again (albeit cautiously) I think this app shows a lot of promise. Provided that it doesn’t wipe data again. The parakeet model appears superior to others. The downside I am experiencing in my use scenario is the lack of ability to copy directly from the transcript. Sometimes I only need excerpts or need to be quick. The hoops to jump through to copy prevent this directly. But- it shows promise and I’m thankful for the developer for trying to right things.

Having an automatically record and transcribe without any additional action is very helpful
