The Voice Journal App That Turns Your Thoughts into Text

Last updated:

Wave AI is a free voice journal app for iPhone, Android and smart watches: speak an entry, and Wave transcribes it, writes a short summary, and keeps every entry in a private, searchable audio diary you can ask questions of later.

The problems you know too well

Typing Slows Down Your Thinking

Your thoughts flow faster than you type. Speaking them is natural and effortless — Wave captures every word and turns it into readable text.

Great Ideas Hit at the Worst Times

On a run, in the shower, driving to work — the best ideas come when you can't type. Wave lets you capture them instantly with your voice.

Written Journals Get Abandoned

The friction of sitting down to write kills the habit. Speaking a 2-minute reflection while you make coffee is something you'll actually do every day.

Features

Everything you need to capture every conversation

Speak Your Journal Entry

Open Wave and talk. Record your morning reflection, evening review, or any thought that strikes — no typing required.

Automatic Transcription

Every voice entry is automatically transcribed into text so you can read back your journal as easily as you'd read a written diary.

AI-Generated Entry Summaries

Wave creates a brief summary of each entry, capturing the themes and ideas from your reflection at a glance.

Searchable Audio Diary You Can Ask

Find any past reflection by keyword, or ask Wave a question across your entries, like what kept coming up last month, and get an answer that cites the entry it came from.

Phone or Watch, Online or Off

Record entries on iPhone or Android, or from Apple Watch or a Wear OS watch on a walk. No signal? The entry is saved on the device and uploads when you're back online.

Private and Secure

Your entries are encrypted in transit and at rest, Wave holds a SOC 2 Type 1 report for its security controls, and Wave never uses your recordings or transcripts to train AI models.
