Introducing Aside: Think Out Loud, In Private

Meet Aside — the privacy-first voice notes app with on-device AI transcription. Capture ideas instantly, transcribe offline, and let AI organize your thoughts.

Welcome to Aside! We built the voice notes app we always wanted — one that respects your privacy while giving you the power of AI.

Why We Built Aside

Voice apps have a problem: they send your recordings to the cloud. Your private thoughts, meeting notes, and sudden inspirations end up on someone else's server.

We believe your voice recordings are personal. They should stay on your device.

100% On-Device Processing

Aside is different:

  • On-device transcription — Powered by Apple Speech, works offline
  • On-device AI — Apple Intelligence processes your thoughts locally
  • No cloud uploads — Your recordings never leave your iPhone
  • Your iCloud only — Sync through your personal iCloud account

What Aside Does

Capture thoughts with one tap. Speak naturally. Aside handles the rest:

  1. Instant transcription — See your words as text immediately
  2. AI summaries — Get one-line summaries of long recordings
  3. Smart tags — AI extracts topics and themes automatically
  4. Ask Your Thoughts — Query your ideas in natural language

Perfect For

  • Professionals who think out loud
  • Writers capturing sudden inspiration
  • Anyone who values their privacy
  • ADHD brains that need zero-friction capture

Coming Soon

Aside launches Q2 2026. Join the waitlist to be notified when we're live on the App Store.

"Your thoughts deserve privacy."
