Voice Inbox is built around a simple idea: capturing a thought should be as easy as saying it out loud. You speak to the app and it writes precisely what you said into your journal, removing the friction of opening a notes app, choosing a file and typing. The team frames it as an inbox rather than another note-taking or journaling application — it feeds the notes you already keep instead of locking your data inside another silo.
The primary integration is Obsidian. Captured notes go straight into your vault, with a pleasant daily journal view, and even git-based vaults are supported. If you would rather not use Obsidian, Standalone Mode stores notes locally on your device. Voice Inbox also recognises calendar events: mention a meeting or appointment while speaking and it creates the corresponding calendar entry.
Privacy is central to the product. Recordings and transcript text are not retained after transcription, no personal data beyond anonymous usage statistics is collected, and nothing is sold because the developer does not hold your data. High-quality transcription and calendar recognition currently use an internet connection, while everything else runs on-device; the developer notes these may move fully on-device as devices and models improve. Voice Inbox is available as an iOS app and is offered free.
