Memo: Private Voice Journal

About

Memo turns a spoken thought into a written journal entry. Tap once, speak freely, and Memo transcribes what you said and writes it up as a clean entry. It is built for walking, driving, or any moment when talking is easier than typing. YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS Recording and transcription happen entirely on your iPhone. Your audio is never uploaded. Entries are saved as plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, so they are readable anywhere and outlive the app. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Memo writes your entry using Apple on-device intelligence, so nothing leaves the device at all. If you would rather use a cloud model, you can connect your own API key for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenRouter. Even then only the text transcript is sent, never your voice. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING There is no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising, and no Memo server. Nothing to subscribe to. WHAT YOU GET - One-tap recording that keeps working with the screen locked - On-device transcription, with a multilingual model for journalling in any language - Entry, summary, and any action items you actually said out loud - Two Markdown files per recording: the finished entry and the plain transcript - Save to your iPhone, Files, iCloud Drive, or Google Drive - Modes for journalling, brain dumps, meetings, and interviews - Rewrite any entry with a different model, without re-recording No streaks. No scores. No advice you did not ask for.
