BrainDump: Apple Notes + VoiceMemos + ChatGpt in 1.

What is it? - Apple Eco-system based voice note taking/journal. - Tried various note taking apps. Nothing stuck like Apple Notes. - Writing by hand was the best way to get clarity but seemed high friction. Talking about ideas with friends/colleagues was the second best to thought clarity. - Basically combined it. Voice -> Transcribe (whisper accuracy locally) -> Rewrite with COT LLMs. - Helped me maintain journal now ( life events, ideas, anxiety days etc ). Added some prompts to help me. ( researched what experts in the field recommend; as an example - How do I start? And what do i say if i want to gratitude journal ).

Since launch, more than 50% end up using it for meeting notes.

Can I make this listen to a zoom call and have it transcribed and summarized


A lot of folks use it for this. But its not very straightforward like the tools that join calls and listen in.

It only transcribes what it can listen to. So if you are on a zoom call on your computer it can listen to both the audio from the PC and you speaking and transcribe.

Ive been looking into tapping in directly to both the audio out and mic in on apple devices. Im making progress but its not stable yet. Hoping to get it done during the holidays.


Why not... Let it join meetings?


Great job on this!


Thank you. Hope you try it and find it useful!
