Voice Inbox
What it is
Voice Inbox is an iPhone app for recording, transcribing, searching, and reviewing voice memos. Users can capture Memo, Brainstorm, and Premium Conversation recordings through the app, Lock Screen widget, or Siri. The app creates searchable titles and transcripts and provides an inbox workflow for reviewing, archiving, or deleting recordings. WhisperKit transcribes on the iPhone and can work offline after its speech model is downloaded. AI features can use Apple Intelligence on supported devices or a user-configured OpenAI-compatible or Ollama endpoint; paid AI inference is not bundled. Recordings, transcripts, titles, tags, and organization state are stored on the iPhone, and Voice Inbox says it does not upload memos to its servers. Optional external services can receive audio or transcript text when enabled, and confirmed GitHub issues send selected transcript text to GitHub. App lock supports Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN, but does not separately encrypt memo files. The app requires iOS 17 or later, and the Whisper model download may use roughly 150 MB–1.5 GB of storage. A free plan is available; Premium costs $5.99 a month, $49.99 a year, or $79.99 one-time.
