Launching summer 2026 · macOS

The fastest path from spoken thought to a real note.

Capture thoughts without typing. Your words land at your cursor, and a structured note lands in your vault.

Auto-titled, tagged, and connected to thoughts you've already saved with [[wikilinks]]. Your graph grows itself.

Activates with ⌥ Space anywhere on your Mac.

30 seconds from thought to linked vault note.

Speak once. Use it twice: polished text at your cursor, and a connected note in your vault.

  1. 01 · Capture anywhere. Hotkey from Slack, Mail, your IDE. Text at your cursor in seconds.

  2. 02 · Land in your vault. Titles, tags, and backlinks generate themselves. The graph grows on its own.

  3. 03 · Inbox review. Discard, Keep, Promote, Archive. Five minutes, vault clean, ideas wired in.

Three things no one else does together.

System-wide capture

Dictate in Slack, VS Code, Mail, your browser. Text at your cursor, note in your vault, no app switching.

100% on-device

Speech-to-text runs locally with Metal acceleration. Your voice never touches the internet.

Vault-native writes

Auto-generated titles. Auto-suggested tags. Auto-linked backlinks. Your knowledge graph grows itself.

The part nobody else built

A weekly review window that actually clears your inbox.

Voice captures pile up. Most apps stop there. ThoughtMic ships a dedicated review surface (keyboard-driven, two-pane) where every #inbox note gets one of four actions: Discard, Keep, Promote to a structured template, or Archive. Five minutes, vault clean, ideas wired in.

Hit ⌥⇧ R any time. The Collector's Fallacy doesn't get to win.

Building with Claude, Cursor, or Codex? Your reasoning belongs in your vault, not in their chat history.
