Privacy-first voice notes

Private by default.
Cloud-fast when you need it.

VoxNotes transcribes your voice on-device using Whisper AI. No signup, no cloud, no one listening. Need instant results? Flip to Speed Mode. You choose, per note.

You're in. We'll let you know when it's live.

Your audio stays on your device

Whisper AI runs locally via WebAssembly. Nothing uploaded, nothing tracked. Works offline, works in airplane mode. No account needed to start.

Free forever
Speed Mode

Instant cloud transcription

When you need results in seconds, not minutes. Cloud-powered processing with audio deleted immediately after. Opt-in per note — you decide what gets uploaded.

$7/month

Every voice app is cloud-only.

Otter, Voicenotes, AudioPen — they all require uploading your audio to their servers. Your therapy sessions, legal conversations, and raw ideas are sitting on someone else's infrastructure. When their servers fail, your notes vanish.

01
Privacy Mode processes everything on your phone. Whisper AI runs in your browser via WebAssembly. Zero server round-trips for the notes that matter.
02
Speed Mode is a choice, not a requirement. Some notes don't need privacy. Quick grocery lists, meeting recaps — flip to cloud speed when you want instant results.
03
No account needed. Just open and talk. No email, no signup wall. Start recording immediately. Create an account later only if you want sync and Speed Mode.
04
Your voice is faster than your thumbs. You speak 130 words per minute. You type 40. That's 3x more ideas captured in the same time.
What you get

Two modes. One app. Your choice.

On-device Whisper AI

OpenAI's Whisper runs locally in your browser. See a real-time draft as you speak, then get a refined transcript — all without touching a server. Works offline, on a plane, in a basement.

Privacy Mode

Instant when you need it

Speed Mode sends audio to the cloud for instant transcription. Audio is deleted immediately after processing. Use it for quick captures where privacy isn't the priority — you control the toggle per note.

Speed Mode

99 languages. For real.

Record in English, Yoruba, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic — whatever you think in. Whisper handles accented English, code-switching, and low-resource languages that Google's API butchers.

Multilingual

Your notes, your files

Export as markdown, plain text, or PDF. Push to Notion, Obsidian, or Google Docs. Notes are stored in open formats — not locked in a database you can't access or take with you.

Ownership
Honest comparison

What others don't offer.

We're the only voice note app where privacy is the default and cloud is the opt-in, not the other way around.

People who think before they type.

Finally, a transcription app I can use with patient notes. Privacy Mode keeps everything on my device — no compliance headaches, no third-party data agreements.

I use Privacy Mode for sensitive source interviews, then flip to Speed Mode for quick press conferences. Having both in one app changed my workflow completely.

No account, no tracking, just open and talk. I've recorded 200+ notes and haven't given them my email. That's how software should work.

How it works

Open. Talk. Done.

01

Open the app

No signup. No onboarding. The Whisper model loads once and stays cached on your device.

02

Tap & speak

See a real-time draft as you talk. Whisper refines it in the background for accuracy.

03

Save your note

Stored locally on your device. Search it, export it, or just let it sit. It's yours.

04

Upgrade if you want

After you see the value, create an account for sync and Speed Mode. Or don't. We're fine either way.

Your voice, your rules.

Privacy by default. Speed when you choose. No account to start. Join the waitlist — one email when it's live, nothing else.

You're in. We'll be in touch.
