Yap is the voice inbox for the half-formed thought. Tap the red button, talk like you're leaving yourself a voicemail, and walk away with text — not another audio file to file.

How it works
Three taps from thought to text.
Yap is intentionally small. There's no project, no folder, no calendar to file into. Just the fastest path from "I had a thought" to "I have it written down."
Get text back.
Yap transcribes on your phone and saves a transcript card. You can edit it, search it, share it — like a note you wrote, only faster.
Send it onward.
Share to Obsidian, Notes, Messages, Tasks, Files. Yap is the inbox; your real notes system is wherever you keep the rest of your thinking.
Private, not social
Just you and the messy part.
No cloud, no account, no contacts. Yap doesn't have followers, friend requests, or "people you may know." It's a voice inbox, not a feed. The transcript lives on your phone; the audio gets discarded.
Read the full privacy policy.
✓Transcribed on your phone. Yap converts audio to text on-device. The audio never goes to a server.
✓No account. Yap doesn't ask for your email, phone number, or name.
✓No trackers. No analytics SDKs, no fingerprinting, no third-party JavaScript on this page either.
✓Text stays local. Saved yaps live in the app sandbox on your iPhone unless you share or export them.
