Whisper Memos
Whisper Memos records voice on your iPhone or Apple Watch and emails back a formatted transcript with an optional AI summary. You tap once on your phone, watch complication, or Action Button, speak your thought, and seconds later get readable paragraphs in your inbox. It targets people who capture ideas while walking, driving, or between meetings rather than sitting down to type.
Meeting recorders like Otter or Granola center on live calls and shared workspaces. Whisper Memos routes every memo to your inbox by default, adds custom summary prompts, and lets you name Agents that send different recordings to email, Notion, Trello, or Zapier workflows. The Apple Watch app, lock screen widget, and Siri shortcuts are first-class, which matters when your hands are busy.
Freelancers, founders, and ADHD users rely on it for brain dumps, errands, and journal entries they would never write out. Students record lectures on their phone and get searchable notes back. Anyone deep in Apple's ecosystem who wants voice-to-text without cleaning up a rough transcript themselves is the core audience.

Can I customize Whisper Memos AI summaries?
Yes. Whisper Memos lets you create custom summary tabs with your own prompts, so the same recording can become a todo list, meeting recap, or journal entry. Agents can also apply different summary and routing rules per workflow.
