Norwegian-built AI meeting assistant with Nordic-language transcription, agenda suggestions and decision tracking.
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.

MeetFlow is an AI meeting assistant developed by a Norwegian company that goes beyond plain transcription to act as an active meeting helper. It transcribes meetings and produces structured summaries and takeaways, while also offering features such as agenda suggestions drawn from prior meetings, decision and task tracking with deadline reminders, and language and sentiment analysis. The platform supports a dozen languages including Norwegian, Swedish and Danish, and can recognize multiple languages used within a single meeting, which suits Nordic teams that mix languages. MeetFlow markets GDPR-conscious, security-minded operation aimed at Nordic businesses, and provides industry-tailored variants for areas such as sales, healthcare and education. A free trial is available without requiring a credit card. The product positions itself as a meeting-intelligence layer that builds a project history and knowledge base over time rather than only delivering a one-off transcript, making it most relevant to Norwegian and broader Nordic organizations that want native-language meeting support combined with ongoing tracking of decisions and follow-ups across recurring meetings. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
