Voice Inbox

Voice Inbox | Inbox Reimagined | Quick Capture | Obsidian Integration is a note-taking companion app that lets you capture thoughts on the go by speaking them aloud, which is then transcribed into text for your journal. It emphasizes fast capture, privacy, and seamless integration with Obsidian, enabling your daily notes to flow directly into your vault (including git-based vaults). It also recognizes calendar events mentioned in your speech and creates corresponding calendar entries.

How it works

• Transcriptions are saved directly to your Obsidian vault (on-device where possible), with calendar events recognized and added to your calendar.
• All processing happens primarily on your device to protect privacy; data is kept locally whenever feasible.
