Speak: Private Voice Notes

Speak records voice notes and writes them down — on your Apple Watch and your iPhone, with your audio never sent to a server.

YOUR WATCH IS A REAL CAPTURE DEVICE Record from your wrist with your phone in another room. The audio is held on the watch and hands over when the phone is back in range, then the transcript comes back to your wrist.

TRANSCRIPTION RUNS ON YOUR DEVICE Your recordings are transcribed on your own iPhone, not on a server. The audio never leaves your devices.

The first time you transcribe something, Speak downloads its speech-recognition model, which takes a few minutes on Wi-Fi and happens once. After that it works offline — on a plane, underground, or with no signal at all.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account, no sign-in, no subscription. Everything lives on your device and exports to plain Markdown whenever you want it elsewhere.

AUDIO IS THE SOURCE The recording is never thrown away. Transcripts are a layer on top — editable, re-generatable, never the only copy.

Notes group into pages, and pages connect as you use it.

Also includes a keyboard extension and widgets.

Requires iPhone on iOS 18+. Apple Watch on watchOS 10+ optional.
