I’m building a voice-first second brain for Apple Watch. The idea is simple: capture thoughts instantly from your wrist using the Ultra’s Action button or Siri keywords, without needing your iPhone nearby (using cellular or wi-fi).
Audio is transcribed using EU-based speech-to-text with zero data retention, then turned into searchable notes and summaries.
Basically, I want to capture a thought before I forget it, without pulling out my phone.
If anyone’s interested, I might consider publishing on the app store.
In order to capture instantly, how do you open the app fast? Does the Apple Watch have a wakeword you can utter for that?
For now, the action button on my watch ultra triggers a shortcut the app offers. The shortcut launches the app and starts recording immediately. Takes less than a second. When the action button is pushed while recording, it stops the recording. Quite smooth workflow.
I’m trying to make Siri to trigger the same shortcut with just a voice command but somehow Siri doesn’t do it so that part is still work in progress
