Voice Zettel

Capture thoughts on iPhone or Apple Watch. Transcribed on-device and written directly to your Obsidian vault as Markdown.

Voice Zettel turns your voice into Obsidian notes — instantly, privately, quickly.

Dictate on your iPhone or Apple Watch. Your words are transcribed, formatted as Markdown and saved to the folder you chose.

PRIVACY-FIRST TRANSCRIPTION

Choose your engine:

• WhisperKit (on-device) — fully offline, nothing leaves your device
• Apple Speech — real-time streaming for fast results

Download larger Whisper models for higher accuracy, or use the bundled tiny model out of the box.

APPLE WATCH COMPANION

Capture ideas and thoughts in the moment. Dictate a note, it syncs to iPhone and lands in your vault automatically. A home screen complication keeps Voice Zettel one tap away.
