Do I need an iPhone to use Voice Memory on Apple Watch?
Yes. Voice Memory is an iPhone app with Apple Watch support. Record from your wrist; transcription and AI summaries are handled through the iPhone app. Editing, organization, and search continue on iPhone.
Can I read summaries on Apple Watch?
Yes. Open the Summaries list on your watch and select a note to read its summary. To edit the summary or work with the full transcript and audio, continue on iPhone.
What kinds of notes work best?
Short personal notes: ideas, daily reflections, work recaps, travel memories, and personal reminders. Voice Memory is not designed for long meetings, lectures, phone calls, or team recordings.
Can I keep the transcript and original audio?
Yes. On iPhone, you can save the full transcript with the summary and choose whether to keep the original audio. If the written note is enough, you can delete the audio later.
What is included for free?
The free version includes up to 30 saved notes, recordings up to 1 minute, and keyword search. A subscription removes those limits and adds Smart Search, iCloud sync, and export of all notes.
What happens to my notes and audio?
Your notes are stored on your device, with optional iCloud sync on a subscription. AI features send the required audio or text to Replicate for processing. You can review generated summaries before saving. Read the Privacy Policy.
