Wrist Recorder puts a voice recorder on your wrist. Your note is saved on Apple Watch, sent to your iPhone, and transcribed automatically.

Record from your watch face

  • Add to Latest complication: keep talking into your most recent note.

Easy to keep track

  • Newest notes at the top, each with a one-line preview.
  • Search your transcripts to find a note by what you said.

  • An icon shows whether a note came from iPhone or Apple Watch.
  • Select several notes to share or delete them together.

Private by design

  • No account, no ads, no tracking.
