Sonora

On-device voice, second brain

Your private second brain, filled by talking.

Speak a thought. Sonora transcribes it, structures it into a summary, tasks, or a clean note, and remembers it in a searchable archive. All of it runs on your iPhone. Private by default.

Coming soon to theApp StoreSee how it works

iPhone first. Android coming later. No account required.

Nothing sent by default

Your notes are processed and stored on the device, not in someone else’s data center.

Real on-device models

Modern iPhones run capable speech and language models locally. Sonora uses them.

Dependable offline

Set it up once on Wi-Fi, then it keeps working without a connection.

Speak, and it remembers

Voice is the fastest way to get a thought out, but afterwards it is just an audio blob you cannot skim or search. Sonora turns it into structured text and keeps it.

Summary

A long ramble becomes a tight, faithful summary you can actually skim later.

Tasks

Spoken intentions become a checklist with the deadlines you mentioned.

Clean note

Filler, false starts, and repetition removed. A readable note remains.

Custom

Your own instruction, applied to your own words, processed on your own device.

Built so your thinking stays yours

On-device intelligence

Transcription runs with WhisperKit and the summaries, tasks, and clean notes are produced by a compact language model, both directly on your iPhone. No server in the loop.

Private by default

Your voice, transcripts, and notes are processed locally and stay in a local encrypted archive. The app needs no account to work. Nothing about your notes is sent anywhere by default.

Works offline

After a one-time model download on first launch, Sonora works on a plane, in a dead zone, or behind a firewall. The network is an option, never a requirement.

Search and ask your archive

Keyword and semantic search across everything you have captured. Ask a question in plain language and the on-device model answers from your own past notes.

Threads

Sonora clusters related notes into topics automatically, so the things you keep returning to surface on their own instead of getting lost in a list.

Translation

Translate a captured note on-device, including between Russian and English, without your words leaving the phone.

Honest about the edges

Sonora is private by default. The only optional path off the device is product analytics, which is turned off unless you choose to enable it, and even then it carries only anonymous usage signals such as which screens are used and error codes. It never includes your transcripts, notes, or questions. You can read exactly what that means in our Privacy Policy.

The intelligence moved into the cloud. Bring some of it back.

A capable AI that is always with you, always offline-ready, and unconditionally yours.
