Hey Toru - Privacy-first voice notes that catch what you'd forget

Hey Toru is a voice, text, and photo note-taking app for people who think out loud and forget half of it. Capture by voice, text, or photo — Toru organizes it into notes and smart lists, with everything processed privately. Free tier included, no credit card needed.

Hi PH! I'm Krishna, solo founder of Pembroke Labs. I built Hey Toru because I kept losing good ideas — said out loud in the car, scribbled on a napkin, forgotten in 10 minutes. Most note apps want you to type. I wanted something that just listens, watches, and remembers, without selling my thoughts to an ad network. Toru does three things well: catches voice/text/photo notes fast, organizes them into smart lists, and nudges you when something's about to slip. Free tier is genuinely usable — 25 notes, 7-day history. Smart tier unlocks unlimited everything. Would love your feedback — first launch, learning as I go!
