Grimo AI turns one spoken or typed sentence into tasks, calendar events, and notes — no forms, no switching apps. Say the words and Grimo files it exactly where it belongs, dated and prioritized. Built for messy weeks: a calendar that shows overlaps at a glance, hands-free voice mode for when your hands are full, and one chat thread so nothing gets lost across five different apps. Free to start. iOS only.
Your Dropbox for agent knowledge (it works without you having to "work" it or maintain it.) Every agent you use reads and writes to the same brain, and so do your teammates and theirs. Start a new chat and it can know what you've all already worked on. Your IP, research, sci-fi romance novel or notes are encrypted and I won't train on it. Export it to markdown and leave whenever, because I think you shouldn't have your knowledge locked in anywhere, including OzBrain.
Keep work incident notes, recordings and photos in an iPhone timeline. No account needed. Unlimited records in one case are free; extra cases and PDF export are optional paid features. Includes a free incident-log template.
Marked Share is a subproduct of Marked 3, but doesn't require Marked to use. It's a free way to share Markdown and TextBundle documents with images and attachments, allow others to highlight and comment on them, and can even publish "blog" feeds with RSS/Atom and Micro.blog integration. Built in editor, or a full API for integrating with your favorite editor/tool.

Tucky is a native macOS notes app that sleeps as a thin stripe on the screen edge. Local and encrypted. Plus is $12/month for voice, connectors, and the best LLM models.
Your meeting-notes app wants the recording, an account, and a card. Ulpaso doesn't. Press record. Mic + system audio get transcribed on your Mac and land in a Markdown file you can actually edit. No cloud. No login. No $20/mo for a checklist.
Einfall catches the fugitive thought — the one that falls into your head at the strangest times — before it's gone. Capture quick and easy on Mac, iPhone and iPad, from the menu bar, share sheet, Shortcuts, widgets, Spotlight and Siri. Process the thoughts by sending them to Reminders, Calendar, Files, a Shortcut, or by giving your AI agent control via MCP. Capture is free and unlimited. After the first 15 routing actions, a one-time $29.99 purchase unlocks unlimited routing.

Kin helps you prepare for healthcare appointments, capture the conversation, and follow through afterward so you can stay present during the visit instead of taking notes or trying to remember everything later. After each visit, Kin turns the conversation into a focused summary. Rather than giving you a word-for-word transcript, Kin organizes the key points, recommendations, and next steps so you can quickly understand what happened and what to do next.

Your follow-ups are only as good as your meeting notes. Wispr Notetaker gets your words and your speakers right, so your recaps, follow-ups, and answers are too. Before the meeting starts, it checks the invite so names are spelled correctly, and it brings the terminology you've already taught Wispr Flow into every conversation. Your transcripts use real names instead of "Speaker 1" and "Speaker 2," and every meeting is ready to pull into Claude or ChatGPT via MCP. Available on Mac. Free to try.
Every meeting recorder ships your audio to the cloud and bills you monthly. yapyap does neither. It records, transcribes, names your speakers, and turns talk into summaries and action items entirely on your own machine. “Lenses” reshape each recording into whatever you need: a summary, a to-do list, or a decision log. You can install more or build your own. Prefer the cloud? Optionally connect any major provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq. Either way, yapyap is yours forever. No subscription.
Sorinai is an interactive AI notepad that fills out your meeting notes along with you. Drop in the template you already use, Word, PDF or plain text, and it reads the structure and fills every field from the call. No bot joins your meeting; it captures your computer's audio, so video calls, phone calls and in-person all work. Ask it what to say next while you're still on the call, then query one meeting or all of them at once. Mac and Windows. Unlimited notes, free.
AI-powered productivity for working professionals. Voice-to-structured notes, smart bookmarking, and file organization in one place. Stop switching between apps, save everything, find anything, instantly.
Most AI notetakers hand you a transcript with a summary bolted on 💅 Tackly maps what you say into one of 20 nodes, live and in realtime — from meetings, solo voice notes, or a pasted transcript — so you get structure you can always come back to, not just silly old black and white text.
