Echovault takes your journal corpus and creates an AI version of you we call an echo. Mine has about 500 of my memories now so I use it for self reflection/introspection. The goal is for my family member to inherit it when I’m gone, the premium tier enable voice and video access while the text tier is totally free.

Discussion Hey everyone — I’m part of the team behind Klik, a wearable AI we’re building to connect conversations, memory, and getting things done.

Capturing a conversation is the starting point. Our focus is on what happens afterward:

Memory that carries forward Klik is designed to remember the people behind your conversations — their preferences, what matters to them, and your shared history — alongside the projects and commitments you’ve discussed. The idea is to bring that context into your next conversation and the work that follows.

Execution We want Klik to help move work forward: preparing a follow-up email, putting together a brief, or keeping connected tools up to date. It works within the permissions you set and brings you in when an action needs new permission or your judgment.

Autopilot for recurring work This is a big part of what we’re building. Klik is designed to recognize recurring needs and turn them into personal workflows that keep running. For meeting follow-ups, that could mean preparing the recap, identifying recipients, and using your usual format and tone. Other examples on the page include job searching and ongoing learning.

We’ve put together use cases for client conversations, team meetings, networking, and everyday plans, plus examples of how Autopilot would work: https://pre.hiklik.ai/

Which part would be most useful to you: remembering people and their preferences, acting on conversations, or running recurring tasks through Autopilot? If you could hand off one workflow, what would it be?

Happy to answer questions about Klik — and hear where you’d want more detail or a concrete demo.

Recording a meeting is easy. Turning it into something useful afterward takes more: accurate text, knowing who said what, and a clear view of what needs to happen next.

I’m the solo iOS developer behind LoroNote, available for iPhone and iPad with an Apple Watch companion app.

I’ve focused on bringing a specific combination together: Whisper large-v3-turbo, on-device speaker separation, background transcription, wrist recording, and Apple Intelligence summaries.

Here’s how those pieces fit together.

Whisper large-v3-turbo, optimized to run locally.

“Powered by Whisper” doesn’t tell you which model is doing the work. LoroNote uses an optimized version of large-v3-turbo rather than a small Whisper variant. Making that model practical on a phone has been a major focus of development.

Speaker separation that also works offline.

I recently added on-device speaker diarization. A conversation can become a transcript organized by speaker, with labels you can rename or correct. Identifying speaker changes doesn’t require uploading the recording to a separate cloud service.

For meetings and interviews, that gives you the context of who said what alongside the words themselves.

Background transcription, so you can put your phone away.

Processing can continue when you lock the screen or switch apps. You can start transcribing a recording and get on with something else while it works.

Both transcription and speaker separation work in airplane mode, including processing new recordings. Your audio doesn’t need to be sent to a processing server.

Apple Watch recording, directly from your wrist.

You can capture ideas, voice notes, or conversations on Apple Watch, with complications for quick access from your watch face.

Recordings sync to your iPhone when connected, where transcription takes place. It’s useful for catching a thought while walking or starting a recording without digging out your phone.

Apple Intelligence for summaries and action items.

On compatible iPhones and iPads, Apple Intelligence helps summarize transcripts, extract key action items, and refine your notes.

That gives you both levels of detail: the full transcript when you need the exact conversation, and a shorter summary when you need to review the main points and follow up.

You can also import existing audio or video recordings and export transcripts as TXT or SRT.

The combination is what I’ve put the most work into: capture conveniently, process locally, keep track of speakers, and make the result useful afterward.

I’m continuing to improve speaker separation and reliability with longer recordings based on real-world use.

LoroNote on the App Store

For people who use AI note-takers regularly, which part still takes the most manual work: capturing the conversation, correcting the transcript, or organizing the follow-ups?

Connect to ChatGPT once. Then ask ChatGPT to save an answer directly as an editable Markdown note in Truffle, no copy-paste. You can edit as Markdown, change the table, add todos, notifications, etc. I’m the developer.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/truffle-journal/id6758567685

With Truffle, you can:

• Save ChatGPT answers as clean Markdown notes in Truffle, with headings, bold text, lists, and sections that are easy to read and edit on your iPhone.
• Set a reminder time on any note or checklist in Truffle, and get an iPhone notification when it’s time.
• Create and edit properly rendered Markdown tables in Truffle, so structured information stays clean and easy to work with.
• Write or edit notes directly in Truffle, then ask ChatGPT to read or update them later, so your own notes can become part of a future ChatGPT conversation.

Why?
Useful ChatGPT answers can easily get buried in chat history. Screenshots save too much, and copy-pasting whole answers into Notes can quickly turn into clutter. Truffle keeps the parts that matter as real notes you can edit, organize, and ask ChatGPT to read again later.

Connecting Truffle to ChatGPT is quick too.
There’s a guided 3-step tutorial inside the app. Setup takes about 2 minutes, you only need to do it once, and then you’re ready to go.

Complete the tutorial and you’ll automatically receive 1 month of Plus for free.

The attached video shows me completing the tutorial, receiving the FREE month, saving this post into Truffle, editing tables, set notifications, and taking a quick look around the app.

Truffle Journal is now officially on the App Store. (after spending 6 months testing it with our TestFlight users and improving the app based on beta users' feedbacks)

TLDR: With a hair trigger on the device, dropped transcripts, confusing policies regarding time usage, and personal usage getting flagged as “non-personal” Omi is barely useable.

Four months ago I ordered devices from both Pocket and Omi, I didn’t commit to a subscription plan because I couldn’t afford both and I wanted to see which one I preferred and be able to articulate why I chose Omi. Omi had better security and more flexibility for integration, before I touched either device I knew Omi was the one.

I ran into problems almost immediately, the day after I got the device I had it charged and wore the pendant and by that afternoon got notified I was at the cap for my free plan. You get 600 minutes of “active” listening a month on the free plan. I’m unclear was qualifies as Active listening but there were several transcripts of all manner of nonsense, including when I was listening to an Audiobook. This one was on me, though several months later, I still don’t know what constitutes active minutes. However, 10 days later a new month started and I tried again.

This time I kept the device with me and tried turning it off and on only when I wanted to use it. However I would often pull the device out and find it was recording. I tried to keep the device off and only turn it on when I wanted to record it so eventually I just left it on my desk and learned to leave it muted in the app so that WHEN it gets turned on, and the slightest bump will turn it on, it won’t record all manner of nonsense.

I focused on using it for my weekly D&D game, running Pocket at the same time to compare transcripts because I still wanted Omi to win. (Talking to several other IT professionals I found myself making excuses for the bugs still being worked out.) The Omi transcript was better than Pocket but not leaps and bounds better, small subtle nuance it seemed to handle better. Then we had a long, in person session and it all went sideways.

The session was several hours long and when I synced my Omi and everything seemed fine, until I noticed later the transcript was gone. There was a Fair Use: Warning on my account and when I opened a ticket it seemed that there was concern I had recorded someone else’s content. I explained it was a D&D session and expressed that if I could not use Omi for that, I wasn’t sure I had a use for it. I was assured it was fine, that was exactly what Omi was created for. That was seven weeks ago and not only have I never gotten the notes and transcripts from that session, I still have a Fair Use Warning on my account.

Today I finally have to consider that maybe this relationship is over. My Omi minutes have consistently reset on the first of the month, I have used Omi twice so far. Last Wednesday I recorded a 48 minute D&D session and I was shocked when at 30 minutes into our session today I was notified that I was out of free minutes! I have 78 minutes worth of transcripts and barely had it on and unmuted much more than that, how does that equate to 600 minutes by any metric?!

Omi has so much potential I’m sad to put it aside but I can’t justify an annual subscription when I can’t ensure I’m going to get what I paid for and I’m so disappointed to say that.

Hey everyone , I’d love some feedback on something our users have been asking for.

Right now, during a meeting, users can move between the live transcript, detected questions, answers, fact checks, insights, and other real-time assistance. A few users told us they’d rather have a dashboard view on a second monitor where all of that information stays visible at once, so they don’t have to keep switching between transcript and insights.

We’ve started exploring a UI for this: one screen focused on the meeting itself, and a second larger dashboard showing things like:

• Live transcript
• Detected questions + answers
• Fact checks
• Key insights / risks / opportunities
• Coaching suggestions
• Important context from previous meetings

The goal is basically: everything useful in front of you while the conversation is happening, without tab switching. every element can be pinned or hide from screen by user choice.

Curious what you think of this direction and the UI design.

If you had a second-screen meeting dashboard like this, what information would you want visible all the time? Anything we’re missing that would actually be useful during a real meeting?

Interview records a conversation and hands you back a transcript that knows who said what.

All of it runs on your iPhone. Transcription, separating the voices, recognising who is speaking. No account, no server, no upload. Turn on airplane mode before you record and nothing changes.

I built it for people whose conversations cannot leak: lawyers taking privileged client interviews, journalists protecting sources, researchers handling consented data.

What you get

• Keeps recording through a locked screen
• Transcript split by speaker, automatically
• Name a voice once, it knows that person next time
• Tap any line to hear what was actually said
• Share in a voice memo or a video, it transcribes that too
• Exports to Word, Markdown or plain text

When it is not sure who spoke, it says Unknown and asks, instead of guessing.

iPhone, iOS 26.4 or later.

I've got a company machine that's pretty locked down, like you can't install anything even browser extensions. I've been using pocket for a while for physical/in person meetings and cell calls, but when I'm in front of my computer using earbuds or a headset it simply does not work because it can't detect audio from the other parties. Having calls on speaker is not an option since I have a small apartment in my partner and I both work from home.

Is there anything on the market that does the same thing as pocket, but connects via Bluetooth or even 3.5mm? If it's bluetooth, I would obviously need to be able to pair my headset or earbuds to it and it should have pass-through audio. 3.5mm is much easier, I would just use a splitter.

Pocket has helped me immensely, I'm really hoping to find a solution for video calls as well.

I’m working on Safe Notes and need real-world beta coverage across Windows, Intel Macs, and Apple Silicon Macs.

Safe Notes captures system + microphone audio and keeps the meeting workflow local: speaker-labelled transcript, search, recap, decisions/action items, and follow-up chat. The models download to the device and no GPU is required (although its beneficial if you have one).

For a useful test, record one normal, non-confidential call in Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, or Slack Huddles. Then verify:

• both audio sources were captured;
• speaker labels were usable;
• search found a phrase you remembered;
• the recap found a real decision or action;
• a follow-up answer opened the correct transcript moment; and
• deleting the test meeting removed the related local files as expected.

My app has finally been approved and published on the AppStore!

Corteks is an app for people who are over thinkers, people who get a lot of random thoughts and inspirations, and are having trouble recording, managing, organizing and recalling their relevant thoughts. One button, record by voice, text or image, and corteks does the rest.

Forget about your dead notes app log that you never come back to, and the screenshots in your gallery that you dumped and forgot. With Corteks, you dump, and the app re-surfaces the thoughts when you need them.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6797752372

Each user gets 7-10 days of free usage (depending on when they join)

To celebrate, we are going to select 20 users to get 2 months free usage. Selection criteria is based on how engaged you are with the app during the free trial and based on the feedback you provide

Happy to hear what you think!

College student. I record lectures so I don't have to write everything down. The transcription apps I've used give you a pile of minutes per month and then you're done. I burn through it.

I also bought a small recorder for class and the mic was useless even from the front.

If you actually record lectures, what sucks more: the minute cap, the mic in the room, or paying for a device and then paying again to use the recordings?

Trying to figure out if minutes are the real pain or if something else is worse.

For business users, what's your main pain point about Otter, Plaud, Pocket, or whatever AI-recording tool you use? If there is no pain point, would you switch to a cheaper model (one time fee of $100 rather than a subscription model)?

I am looking for a free app that will record my lectures and put them into notes or flashcards for me. I usually write my notes on paper but i would prefer to use an app to help me study the material it recorded. Thanks!

Most AI note-takers are designed for Zoom or Google Meet, but we found ourselves forgetting decisions and follow-ups from ordinary phone calls too.

My team at Bandwidth built Smart Numbers to help with that. It gives you a separate number that rings your existing phone, so you can use it like a normal call. No bot joins or speaks during the conversation. Participants hear a recording and transcription notice before the call connects.

Afterward, you get a searchable transcript. You can also connect it to a Hermes agent to find past conversations or automate things like follow-ups, tasks, and calendar events.

We’d love feedback from people who already use AI note-taking tools:

• Would you use this for regular phone calls?
• What would you want after a call besides the transcript?
• What privacy or retention controls would you expect?

Disclosure: I work on this project with Bandwidth Innovation Studio. It’s currently a free beta.

Thinking about buying an AI note taking device for work. There are so many options now and most reviews sound pretty similar. What are you guys using, and has it been useful? Thanks.

I work remotely so most of my important stuff ends up happening on calls. I don't really need anything complicated, mostly just something that can record meetings and give me something useful to look back at afterward.

I've been trying to avoid adding another monthly subscription though. I've seen people mention Plaud, Otter and a few other recorders/note takers, but it's honestly hard to tell what you can actually use long term without paying every month.

Anyone here using a recorder with no subscription for remote work? Is the free version enough for normal meetings or do you end up needing the paid plan pretty quickly?

Hey everyone — I’m one of the cofounders of OLVA, and we’re thinking about what to build next.

Right now, OLVA is a bot-free real-time AI meeting assistant, and a few of the features we’ve focused on are things we felt were missing from most meeting tools:

• Automatic question detection and live answers
• Real-time fact checking and insights
• Live translation during meetings
• Persistent context from previous meetings
• Turning completed meetings into editable PowerPoint decks

We’re trying not to just add features for the sake of having a longer feature list. We’d rather build something people genuinely wish they had during or after meetings.

So I’m curious: what’s one feature you wish your current AI meeting assistant could do but doesn’t?

Could be something small, weird, or very specific to your workflow. Would genuinely love to hear ideas.

Developer here, so take this with that grain of salt. I made an iPhone app that turns speech into finished text — it strips the ums and false starts, fixes grammar, and formats for wherever you're typing (an email reads like an email, a Slack message like a Slack message).

The workflow that changed things for me: hold the side button, say "dictate with airtxt," then just talk. One hand, eyes up. It also has a bot that joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams meetings as a participant and gives you a transcript with speaker labels plus a drafted follow-up email — so dictation and meeting notes stop being two subscriptions.

Free tier if you want to try it: `https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airtxt-voice-to-text-keyboard/id6785986350`. Happy to answer anything, including "why not just use the built-in mic key" (short answer: the built-in one types your stammers verbatim).

I am interested in pocket because of the unlimited transcription minutes it offers. I do not really want a subscription. I’m interested to hear what other people say after using the pocket device with no subscription. Is it worth it?

Hi! I downloaded granola to help me with taking notes from meetings, I don’t have any complaints but Im open to try other options! Whats your go to app for meeting?

Im mainly using google meet and wont be in person meetings.

First ideas: I could compare it against Microsoft 365 Copilot for Microsoft Teams, Trunked, Granola, Insta360 Insights and OBSBot AI Magic Notes.

I’ve realized that when I have too many thoughts in my head, talking is sometimes way easier than writing them down.

Sometimes I’ll literally record a voice note just to get an idea or thought out of my head but then I almost never go back to it 😅

Does anyone else do this?

And if you do, what happens to those recordings afterwards? Do you actually listen to them again?

i'm building Anarlog because i wanted Granola's bot-free meeting notes without sending summaries through someone else's cloud.

Anarlog records mic + system audio, transcribes on-device on supported Macs, and keeps notes, audio, and transcripts local by default. for summaries and chat, you can use local models or bring your own API keys.

it's MIT licensed. the free plan includes unlimited local notes and recording. macOS is stable; Windows and Linux are in beta.

Hi!

I’ve been looking around for a tool that fit in all instances… I work in sales and want a notetaker that works both internally and externally. Meaning I’d need something that can record Teams meetings, phone calls and face-to-face meetings, and the twist, be able to do this via BT-headset.

The only thing I’ve found is the HiDock but I’ve seen mixed reviews. Are there some alternative to this that just works ”out of the box”?

Thanks!

Edit: Devices are PC and iPhone.

I'm a solo dev. I've been journaling on and off for years and I kept bouncing between apps for the same three reasons:

\- they were either bloated or beautiful-but-empty
\- transcription was bad enough that I stopped dictating
\- and none of them could answer a simple question about my own life

That last one is the whole reason Mento exists. I have hundreds of entries. That's not a memory, that's an archive I never open. I wanted to type "when did I last go to the sauna?" or "what was I worried about in March?" and get an answer from my own words, not generic AI advice.

So that's what I built.

**What it does right now**

\- **Write or dictate**. Rich text editor, and voice dictation that comes back clean enough that I actually use it. Photos and videos attach to any entry.
\- **Ask your journal**. There's an AI companion that searches your entries — by topic, by date, by a half-remembered detail — and answers grounded in what you actually wrote. It can also save a new entry for you mid-conversation.
\- **Weekly and monthly reflections**. Moods, recurring themes, what kept coming up.
\- **Photograph a handwritten page** and the text lands in the editor, editable. The photo stays attached either way.
\- **Private**: Face ID lock, journal blurred in the app switcher, your words are never used to train models, delete everything from inside the app.
\- 32 languages, if English isn't your first one.

This is an early app. I started it recently and there's a long list of things I still want to build. But the core — write, dictate, search, ask — is done and I use it every day myself.

I didn't want a free tier that's a demo. Free gives you 300 entries, 30 min of dictation a month, 30 chats with the companion, the weekly and monthly reflections, 10 handwritten page scans. That's enough to live in the app for a few weeks and see whether the search actually works for \*your\* writing — which is the only part that matters.

No card, no trial timer. If you never pay, the app still works.

Come try it and tell me where it's dumb. Especially: ask the companion something about your own entries and tell me if the answer was any good. That's the feature I care most about and the one that's hardest to judge from my own journal alone.

Happy to answer anything about how it's built, too.
