Voiceliner - Braindump better.

by•
The fastest way to capture and structure your thoughts: through voice.

Hold record, speak, and release. Just like you'd expect from an outliner, create hierarchies and rearrange. Notes are auto-transcribed and searchable.

Local-first and open source.

Hey PH! 4+ months of on-and-off work led to the best way to braindump I know of. It's inspired by long conversations with friends, where scattered fragments of ideas and references come and go. What if you could save all of those, quickly, in a structured way? The app auto-transcribes what you tell it, but crucially, doesn't discard the original recording. The transcription is so you can recognize keywords, but your voice is treated as the "source of truth" to play back. I love walking the streets of my city with Voiceliner. Letting my mind wander or focus, knowing I can capture the flow of whatever I’m thinking about without stopping and typing. I have a special "Walking" list for these more reflective notes. Their locations end up on a map!
So how is it similar/different to otter?

this is more for quick bursts, not continuous sessions. plus you can structure/prioritize things with a gesture
Great idea!!! Well done!
Been looking for something that keeps audio as a backup, as I don't want to rely solely on the transcription. This is perfect!
Great start! It would be great if the ideas can have stages & status as well. A voice-based idea manager
Great app. It would be great if we could also play a note just by long pressing or double tapping on it on the map without leaving the map.
Love the idea! Hope the app is as user-friendly as it looks :)
Can it remind you on a certain date
