Why it matters

Useful for iPhone + Mac users who think while walking or between tasks and lose ideas because the act of writing them down in a text note interrupts the flow — voice-capture the idea, the app transcribes and embeds it locally, and the same RAG chat (rig-core 0.36) that grounds answers in your own notes also handles plain English questions like 'what was that pricing idea I had Tuesday' with tappab

Who should use it

iPhone + Mac users who think while walking or between tasks and lose ideas because the act of typing a text note interrupts the flow — tap to record, the app transcribes and embeds the note locally, and a built-in RAG chat surfaces the right passage later when you ask 'what was that pricing idea I had Tuesday'Engineers, writers, and researchers who want a private local-first alternative to Otter / Notion AI / Reflect that does not require a hosted backend — voice is stored on device, embeddings are computed locally (LanceDB on cosine), chat runs against your own notes, and iPhone↔Mac sync is encrypted LAN P2P (Noise XXpsk3) with no cloudAnyone who needs both fast cloud transcription (Soniox) and fully-offline transcription (Whisper large-v3-turbo via whisper-rs+Metal, sha256-verified model downloads) from the same app — toggle in Settings, audio never leaves the device in offline modePower users who want hybrid BM25 + vector + RRF + LLM rerank retrieval (rig-core 0.36) for personal corpora where exact-term recall (a project code, a person's name) and semantic recall ('that idea about pricing') are both first-class — pure-vector apps miss the former, pure-keyword apps miss the latterAnyone who wants a chat that can ground answers in their own notes AND fresh web facts at the same time — turn on the per-conversation Exa web search toggle, and the same chat fuses both ranked lists by RRF, with web sources in their own section that open in the browserPrivacy-sensitive users (lawyers, doctors, journalists) who need a chat over their own audio corpus where the audio, embeddings, and chat all stay on the device by default, with cloud transcription as an opt-inApple-keyboard-shortcut-driven users who want ⌘N new note, ⇧⌘Enter new chat, ⌘F search, ⌘⌘ switch Notes/Chats, ⌃⌃ theme picker, ⌘←/→ history, double-Esc home on the Mac version
