iPhone and Apple Watch voice recorder that transcribes memos and meetings and emails you a formatted transcript with an AI summary.
AudioDiary, made by Soliloquy Apps Limited, is a voice journaling application that lets users capture thoughts by speaking instead of typing. Users record an audio entry and the app automatically transcribes it and applies AI to produce summaries, reflections, suggested goals, mood tracking, and pattern visualization over time. It also offers dream analysis, custom tagging, themes, and the ability to attach photos to entries. Captured content can be exported as audio, transcripts, images, or PDF, and entries can be edited after recording. Its "Session Designer" lets users personalize or disable AI features, and extracted goals can sync to Google Calendar. The app is available across iOS, iPad, Mac (including Apple Vision), and the web, with synchronization between platforms. Recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest, with data stored via established cloud providers, and the company states it does not sell or monetize journal entries. It is aimed at individuals seeking a reflective, spoken personal journaling and self-tracking habit rather than business meetings.

Whisper Memos is an AI voice-recording app for iPhone and Apple Watch, created by independent developer Vojtech Rinik, that records spoken memos and delivers them back as nicely formatted email transcripts within seconds. You can start a recording from a one-tap iPhone lock-screen widget or hands-free from an Apple Watch complication, making it suited to quick capture of rambling thoughts, meeting notes, lectures, or journal entries. Under the hood it offers multiple transcription engines, including OpenAI Whisper, ElevenLabs, and Cohere, and supports many languages with automatic paragraphing. Every voice note can get an automatic AI summary, and you can create custom summary tabs with your own prompts, for example to extract action items from meeting notes or to reorganize thoughts by topic. The app supports importing audio files in formats such as MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, and FLAC. An Agents system routes different memos to different destinations, and integrations cover Notion, Trello, Things 3, Todoist, Day One, Evernote, Reflect, and Drafts, plus thousands more via Zapier or Mail Drop. It markets itself explicitly as a dictaphone, an audio recorder for meetings, and a voice journaling app, and has been covered by outlets like Six Colors and MacSparky. Pricing varies by plan.
