## Description

Voice memos and notes, private by design. Organize with your own categories, transcribe on-device, share and comment on recordings.

there is no server we run.

RECORD ANYWHERE
• Tap the mic on any device to start capturing
• Apple Watch: record directly from your wrist, syncs back automatically
• Lock Screen widget for one-tap recording
• Live Activity shows recording status while you work in other apps

CATEGORIES THAT WORK LIKE YOU DO
Sort your thinking however makes sense — Ideas, Meetings, To-do, Manuscript, or anything you invent. Categories sync across all your devices, so a category made on Watch appears on Mac. Filter your library in one tap. No folders to manage, no rigid hierarchy — just labels that follow your mind.

SHARE PRIVATELY, WITH ONE PERSON
Send a specific recording or note to a specific person. No public feed, no discovery, no "everyone with the link." The recipient sees exactly what you sent, opens it in their own Thought Recorder, and can reply with comments. You'll see when they've viewed it. Perfect for interviews handed to a producer, ideas passed to a co-writer, or a private voice note to a friend.

TRANSCRIBE ON-DEVICE
Enhanced transcription runs entirely on your device — no audio ever leaves it. Powered by state-of-the-art open models compiled to Apple Neural Engine.

Prefer cloud accuracy? Bring your own OpenAI Whisper or AssemblyAI key — your audio goes directly to your account, billed to you, never through us. AssemblyAI adds automatic speaker labeling.

ORGANIZE THE DETAIL
• Flags in five colors for triage
• Markers within long recordings
• Notes alongside recordings — plain text with location, date, and title
• Search across everything with Ask Archive using plain-language questions

SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
iCloud sync uses your Apple account. Everything syncs automatically — recordings, notes, categories, flags, transcripts, sharing state.

BACKUP TO WHAT YOU ALREADY USE
• iCloud Drive: automatic, organized by year and category
• Google Drive (optional): connect your own account, files stored only in a folder Thought Recorder creates

BUILT FOR PRIVACY
• No third-party SDKs
• No analytics
• No tracking
• Nothing leaves your device unless YOU turn on a cloud feature under YOUR own account

Thought Recorder is made by a small independent studio in Trondheim, Norway.
