AI revenue intelligence platform pairing prospecting with a bot-free AI notetaker that captures sales calls and syncs details to the CRM.
Brain Dump: Voice to Markdown is a voice-first note-taking app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that captures spoken thoughts and transcribes them into editable text. Transcription runs on-device using Apple's speech engine, so it works offline and audio never leaves the device. Each note is stored as a standard plain-text or Markdown (.md) file synced through iCloud, which lets it work with Obsidian, iA Writer, and other text editors rather than locking notes inside a proprietary cloud. The app supports background recording, silence detection, and Siri shortcuts for hands-free capture, and it can transcribe Apple Voice Memos or other local audio and video files. An optional paid AI tier adds cleanup, summaries, and action-item extraction, plus template-based rewriting. Core recording, transcription, editing, iCloud sync, Siri, and offline mode are free. It is aimed at journalers, Obsidian users, and people capturing meeting notes, ideas, or quick thoughts when speaking is faster than typing. Developed by Saravanan Pitchaimani; listed in the App Store Productivity category.

Glinky is an AI revenue intelligence platform for sales teams that combines outbound prospecting with meeting capture. Its call-intelligence side functions as an AI notetaker that records and transcribes sales conversations so reps can focus on the call rather than typing notes; every detail is captured, organized, and synced automatically to the connected CRM. The platform includes native speaker recognition and automated follow-ups, positioning the meeting workflow as bot-free note-taking that turns conversations into structured, actionable records. Alongside the notetaker, Glinky offers lead generation features that let users describe an ideal buyer in plain language or use advanced filters across role, industry, company size, revenue, and location, with contact enrichment for email and phone, outreach sequences, and the ability to export lists or push them directly into a CRM. The result is a single tool that aims to support the full motion from finding prospects to capturing and documenting the meetings that follow. Glinky is aimed at SDRs, AEs, and small sales teams that want pipeline growth and automatic meeting documentation without juggling separate prospecting and note-taking tools. Pricing varies by plan.
