Three things no one else does together.
System-wide capture
Dictate in Slack, VS Code, Mail, your browser. Text at your cursor, note in your vault, no app switching.
100% on-device
Whisper Large V3 Turbo runs locally with Metal acceleration. Your voice never touches the internet.
Vault-native writes
Auto-generated titles. Auto-suggested tags. Auto-linked backlinks. Your knowledge graph grows itself.
A weekly review window that actually clears your inbox.
Voice captures pile up. Most apps stop there. ThoughtMic ships a dedicated review surface — keyboard-driven, two-pane — where every #inbox note gets one of four actions: Discard, Keep, Promote to a structured template, or Archive. Five minutes, vault clean, ideas wired in.
Hit ⌥⇧ R any time. The Collector's Fallacy doesn't get to win.
Privacy is not a feature. It's the whole product.
Your voice and your vault never leave your Mac. Everything else is opt-in and independently verifiable.
