Talk to your
· AGENT HANDOFF
Say it once. The spec lands where work happens.
A morning voice memo can become a reviewed brief, a queued coding task, or a reply-ready handoff to your agent inbox.
· ON YOUR iPHONE
· ON YOUR MAC
· CAPTURES
What it might sound like.
AI-simulated recordings — Max and Sarah are fictional to protect privacy.
“Tell Sarah I'll be ten late but bringing coffee.”
· CAPTURE MODES
One voice thingie. More than one use.
A capture can become a note, a draft, a search, or the start of a workflow. Say it once, then use it where it belongs.
Catch it before it changes.
Record on iPhone, Watch, or Mac. Transcript stays in one place.
Speak straight into the work.
Hotkey on Mac. Dictate into whatever app you're already in.
Clean it up later.
Rewrite, trim, expand — once the raw take is saved. It's not going anywhere.
Find it three weeks from now.
Search across everything you’ve said. Talkie remembers the app, the time, and the context.
Turn raw speech into stuff you can use.
Voice goes in. Summaries, tasks, and files come out.
Script against it.
Your voice data has a CLI. Pipe it, query it, build on it.
· RECOVERY FLOW
Voice notes are easy to save.
Harder to use.
Talkie keeps enough of the moment intact that coming back later feels less like archaeology and more like picking work back up.
Capture in the cheapest mode.
Use the lowest-friction input available: iPhone, Watch, Mac memo, or keyboard dictation.
Recover the surrounding context.
Talkie remembers the transcript, time, app, and project clues that make a later search actually useful.
Turn it into output when you are ready.
Summaries, tasks, cleaned-up notes, diffs, and workflows happen after the idea is safely stored.
A selfie. For your brain.

Sync through your iCloud
Sync runs through your iCloud account. No third-party servers involved.

· READY TO INSTALL
Start with your Mac.
iPhone and Watch help you catch the thought. Mac is where Talkie earns its keep. DMG, App Store, or a single CLI command.
Why local-first matters.
The philosophy behind a little app that stays out of your way and keeps your voice on your side. Keep reading
