Speak
Say what you are thinking, remembering, planning or discussing in your own words.
Memodo turns the way you naturally speak into organized notes, checklists, reminders and meeting notes, without making you stop and think about formatting. Its Local AI runs on your iPhone, so the core AI workflow can work without an internet connection — including in airplane mode.
Most voice-note apps are built around a cloud workflow: record, upload, process, then get the result back. Memodo is built around Local AI instead. Your iPhone does the organizing, which means you can capture thoughts when you don't have a connection and without creating another account.
You don't need to decide how to structure your thought before you start speaking.
Say what you are thinking, remembering, planning or discussing in your own words.
Memodo uses on-device AI to understand the content and turn it into a useful structure.
Get a note, checklist, reminder or meeting record you can actually work with.
The goal isn't just to turn speech into text. It's to turn what you said into something that matches what you were trying to do.
Talk through an idea without stopping to organize it. Memodo can turn the result into a clean note with the useful information pulled together.
Say what you need to buy or get done and let Memodo pull the individual items into a checklist.
Instead of filling out a reminder form, say what you need to remember and when you need it.
Meeting records can include important dates, tasks, key points and transcript information so you can revisit what mattered.
From meeting notes to everyday checklists, a few seconds of speaking can become something you can actually use.
For a voice app, where processing happens matters. Memodo is designed around keeping the core AI workflow on the iPhone.
Memodo's AI processing happens on-device. Your recordings and notes are stored locally on your device.
Airplane mode, a flight, a trail without service or a dead network connection doesn't have to stop you from capturing and organizing a thought.
Memodo is designed without an account requirement, so quick capture doesn't begin with another sign-up flow.
Memodo is currently free and does not use subscriptions or ads.

Record study thoughts, tasks and ideas without stopping to type everything into the right format.
When your hands are full or you're moving between tasks, speaking can be much quicker than typing.
Voice-first capture can make it easier to get a thought out before it disappears or becomes another unfinished typing task.
If you prefer not to routinely send voice recordings to a cloud AI service, on-device processing gives you a different approach.
