Afterthought: Voice Notes
Tasks, reminders & meetings
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Speak a thought. Turn it into a note, task or reminder. Capture on iPhone or Apple Watch, review the details, and send it to the apps you already use.
Afterthought turns spoken thoughts into prepared actions for the apps you already use, and longer recordings into Sessions you can review.
Capture from iPhone, Apple Watch or Action Button. Afterthought transcribes your voice, understands what you meant and prepares notes, reminders, tasks, calendar events, messages and other actions while keeping you in control of what happens next.

YOUR APPS, YOUR WORKFLOW
Prepare content for Apple Notes, Reminders, Apple Calendar, Apple Journal, Todoist, Notion, Slack, Things 3, Bear, Obsidian, TickTick, Day One, Evernote, Messages, Email, Shortcuts and other supported workflows.
Afterthought does not replace your notes app, task manager, calendar or journal. It makes voice an easier way into them.
PRIVATE, CONTROLLED INTELLIGENCE
Capture and transcription are local-first. Apple Intelligence, Classic and downloaded Local AI Models process on device. Optional Cloud AI sends transcript text only to the provider you configure. External destinations receive content only when you use them.
Free includes unlimited capture and transcription, review, supported Apple workflows and a monthly classification allowance. Pro adds unlimited classification, multi-action splitting, writing actions, third-party destinations, extra Nature Mode options, Local AI Models and optional Cloud AI.
Speak once. Make it happen.
