Notie is a 100% offline, privacy-first voice note app for iOS. Just speak — Notie turns your voice into readable text. When your thoughts feel messy or typing feels hard, just talk. Notie captures your voice and converts it into clean, readable notes so you can see what you're actually thinking. Record directly in the app or upload an audio file. Your speech becomes text instantly. Built for thinking out loud — capture ideas, journal, vent, or plan without pressure.
We have completely normalized apps demanding an internet connection just to process our own thoughts. Right now, almost every AI voice app is a thin wrapper that beams your audio to a cloud server the second you speak.
I wanted something faster, more private, and deeply intentional. So I built Notie.
Notie is a 100% offline, privacy-first voice note app for iOS.
Here is what makes it completely different: 🎙️ Zero Cloud: It uses Apple's native on-device silicon to transcribe and refine your notes. Your data physically never leaves your phone. ⚡ No Loading Spinners: Because it runs entirely locally, there is zero network lag. The UI transitions from catching your voice to processing the text in one continuous, fluid motion. ✈️ Airplane Mode Ready: You can record a 10-minute brain dump at 30,000 feet, and it works perfectly.
I spent an unreasonable amount of time obsessing over the micro-interactions so that the software feels like a calm, physical tool rather than just a cluttered utility app. Getting local AI to run flawlessly without melting the battery was a massive engineering challenge, but the privacy and speed make it absolutely worth it.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the design, or answer any questions about the local-first architecture. Let me know what you think!
