The boundary

Stays inside

  • Recordings and notes on the device
  • Account session

Allowed to cross

  • Audio sent for transcription after you tap record
  • Markdown you choose to share

The microphone is on only while the record control says it is.

VoiceTask capture screen with a large record control and a system state line
Capture: one control, the state spelled out.
VoiceTask task list generated from a voice note
Tasks: speech becomes a checklist.

Context

Voice memos pile up as audio files nobody plays back. The thought is captured; the action is lost.

Idea

Turn speech straight into a checklist and a Markdown summary, so the output is already in the shape of the next tool.

Craft

  1. A product requirements doc and a technical spec sheet written before the first screen.
  2. A capture screen with one control and an explicit system state line.
  3. Three tabs only: capture, tasks, config.

Threat model

Outcome

Specified and designed; the Android build is in progress.
