In the car, on a walk, between meetings — and then it's gone. Tephra catches the thought the moment you say it, and turns a scattered week of voice notes into something you can actually use.
Tap record and think out loud — keep going with the screen locked or mid-walk. Live controls sit in the Dynamic Island.
Your voice is transcribed on your device; then the text is formatted by AI — titled, summarized, tagged and linked to the people and ideas you mentioned. Never a raw transcript.
Plain Markdown with YAML and [[WikiLinks]] in your own iCloud Drive. Works with Obsidian. Yours forever.
Tephra transcribes on your device, then shapes the text into a clean note — a real title, a tight summary, the right tags, and [[links]] to the people and projects you mentioned. Never a wall of raw transcript.
Every note lands in one calm, searchable place. Filter by your own tags, or tap a name to see every note that mentions it. Full-text search runs entirely on your iPhone.
Say “remind me to email Sarah” inside any note and Tephra treats it as a task. Every open checkbox from every note collects on one screen — and anything left too long quietly resurfaces, so the small promises don't slip.
Ask a question out loud — “what did I decide with Marco?” — and Tephra answers from your own notes, citing the ones it used. The search runs on your device; only the final answer step touches the AI.
Your voice is transcribed locally with a Whisper model you choose — trade speed for accuracy, from a fast 150 MB model to the most accurate one. Audio never leaves the device, and every note is a plain file in your own iCloud Drive.
Start free for 7 days. Cancel anytime — your notes are plain files you keep either way.
Be first in line when Tephra launches. One email — the day it's live.
