Echoes: AI Voice Notes Journal
Private Dictation & Transcribe
Only for iPhone

iPhone
A voice notes app where none of your notes leave your phone.
You record a good thought. You feel better about it. Then you never hear it again.
That's every voice notes app: a tidy folder of ideas going quiet.
Echoes is the one that talks back.
THE PART YOU MEANT TO DO COMES BACK
Say it and put your phone away. Your iPhone writes it down, gives it a title, and files it under a topic.
A few days later, the ones that sounded like a plan come back to you, in your own words.
"3 days ago you said: Send the pitch to Sarah. Still want to?"
Done. Later. Let it fade.
There are no checkboxes, no task list, and no badge counting up at you. One reminder at a time, at a pace you set, and anything you ignore twice stops asking for good.
SEE WHAT YOU KEEP THINKING ABOUT
Your topics sit in a constellation. Pinch in on one and its notes spread out around it. It's how you find the thought you only half remember, by looking instead of searching.
ASK YOUR NOTES A QUESTION
"What did I say about the move?" You get a plain answer and the note it came from, so you can go read your own words and check.
EVERYTHING STAYS ON THIS IPHONE
No account, no sign-in, no servers, no tracking, no third-party AI.
The transcript, the title, the topic, the answers, the reminders: your iPhone does all of it, using Apple's on-device intelligence. Your recordings and your words don't go anywhere.
We built it this way because we got tired of handing our private thoughts to other people's computers.
Take it all with you whenever you like. Export to the Files app as Markdown or JSON, audio included if you want it. Delete everything, for real, in one move.
WHAT YOU NEED
Echoes runs on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, because that's where Apple Intelligence runs. Older iPhones can't do this work on the device, and we won't send your words off it to fake it.
THE PLAN
Try the annual plan free for a week. There's a weekly plan too, and a lifetime one if you'd rather pay once and be done. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A subscription renews itself unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
