Sometimes I would like to record a quick thought or reminder with voice when I am on the go, but I found that it was not that easy to get the transcriptions accurately and saves alongside of my existing note system, Obsidian. So I built this simple app to do exactly that.
v2md is an app that transcribes audio to text using advanced AI models and saves both the recording and the transcription in Markdown locally that is accessible with the Files App on iPhone. With this mechanism, you can have the voice memos synchronized into your Obsidian vault if you have the Obsidian iOS app installed.
What separates this app from others, is that I built it with privacy in mind. The app does not ask for a login, and all of the data is only stored within your device. Since I travel a lot and want to be able to quickly capture something when I am on the plane, I use Apple's Speech Recognition as a fallback so the app can partially function while offline.
Even though I say I use the app along with Obsidian, it can be used standalone and I have plans to expand it to support more notes apps. I also plan on making it more connected with the iOS ecosystem, such as setting up reminders and calendar items, action button support, or even a watch app for quick capture. This is only the beginning and I am excited!
Any feedback is welcome and please let me know if there are any issues or questions while using the app. If you happen to be an Obsidian user, please let me know how the Markdown export feature works for you! Cheers!
