Why this exists
Your best ideas are trapped in Voice Memos.
You recorded them on walks, in the car, after meetings, before bed. Now they are buried in a long list of audio files with inconsistent names, scattered dates, and no easy way to turn them into something usable.
Manual exporting
Moving recordings one by one is slow, clunky, and easy to abandon halfway through.
Lost context
Names, dates, and original meaning get scattered once recordings leave the app.
Hard to search
You know the idea is somewhere in there. Finding it is the problem.
Storage anxiety
Large memo libraries pile up locally and become hard to manage or back up cleanly.
No clean archive
Apple Voice Memos is great for capture. It is not built for turning years of audio into a usable document.
How it works
Three steps from chaos to archive.
No account. No database. No complicated setup. Just a local Mac app that helps you export Apple Voice Memos into something usable.
