Trace: Voice Journal

Speak a thought and Trace turns it into a private journal entry, transcribed right on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. Each week, see the patterns in what you said.

Some thoughts are easier to say than to type. Trace is a voice journal that lets you press record, talk, and move on. It turns your voice into text right on your iPhone, so the words and the audio never leave your device.

No account. No sign-up. No cloud. You open the app and start talking.

WHY TRACE

Truly private by design. Recording and transcription both happen on your iPhone, using an on-device speech model. Trace never uploads your recordings or transcripts anywhere. The only permission it asks for is the microphone.

Just talk. One tap to record, one tap to stop. Your thought is transcribed and saved in seconds.

See yourself over time. Every week, Trace reads back the patterns in what you said, all worked out privately on your device:

• Recurring themes across your entries
• How your mood has been trending
• Who has been on your mind
• Questions you keep asking yourself
• Things you said you would do
• The words and phrases you reach for most
• Your speaking rhythm and when you tend to record

Keep everything close. Browse and search every entry, play back the original audio, and fix a word in the transcript by hand whenever you like. Export all of your transcripts to a text file any time. Delete a single entry, or wipe everything, in a tap.

Make it yours. Pick from warm colour themes, choose light or dark, and set one quiet daily reminder to check in. The reminder lives on your device too.

TRACE PLUS

The free plan gives you seven voice entries a week. Trace Plus removes the limit and adds sharper transcription, a second pass tuned for casual speech, accents, and recordings with more than one voice. Everything still stays on your device.

Plus is available monthly or yearly. You can cancel anytime in Settings.

Press record and just talk. There is no wrong way to begin.
