About Voice Inbox

FAQ

Why do I need an inbox?
To minimize cognitive load when capturing information. Voice Inbox is designed specifically for this purpose.
Is it a note-taking app?
No, it's not a data-hungry note-taking or journaling app. It simplifies note-taking into other apps (currently Obsidian). If Obsidian is a notebook, Voice Inbox is a magical pen that lets you write without opening the notebook.
Why Obsidian?
Voice Inbox encourages you to own your data and use plain text. Obsidian is the current choice, but they may change if it goes against that principle. You can also use Standalone Mode to store notes locally on your device.
How is data handled?
Privacy is a core value. Voice Inbox makes significant efforts to avoid collecting personal data. High-quality transcription and calendar event recognition require internet access, but everything else happens on your device. They do not retain recordings or transcript text after transcription, and only collect anonymous app usage data.
