About
AudioPen turns what you say into clear writing. Talk through a messy thought and you get the transcript and, if you want, a rewrite in the style and language you pick: an email, a memo, bullet points or a style of your own. It works two ways. As a notes app, it saves every recording to a library you can export. As voice typing, you talk in any app and the text lands at your cursor, plain or rewritten.
AudioPen has apps for Mac (Apple Silicon), Windows, iPhone and iPad, and Android, plus a web app and a Chrome extension, all on one account. The free plan includes recordings up to 3 minutes and a limited number of voice typing sessions. AudioPen Prime adds unlimited recordings up to 15 minutes, unlimited voice typing and rewrites, audio file uploads, restyling and combining saved notes, and sending notes on to Zapier, Notion and Obsidian. With Prime, ChatGPT and Claude can also search and read your notes.

About
Barside is a free desktop productivity app that brings together notes, tasks, reading, meetings, community spaces and AI tools. Notes support links, maps, drawings, kanban boards, tables and charts, and can be imported from Notion, Obsidian or Evernote. Checklists appear on a task board with due dates and reminders. Articles and newsletters go into a reading inbox for highlighting. Community and team spaces include chat, polls, shared notes and files. Video meetings include screen sharing and live captions; screen recordings can be added to notes and edited into captioned clips. An AI assistant and scheduled agents use accounts from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or OpenRouter, and changes can be undone. Barside connects to Claude Code and Cursor through MCP. The app also includes a password vault, clipboard history and system-wide search. Notes are stored locally and work without an account.
