What Hum Memo is
Hum Memo is an iOS and macOS app that turns voice recordings into transcripts, summaries, titles, tags, tasks, and calendar suggestions. Recordings can become searchable notes that are titled, tagged, summarized, and filed automatically. The app extracts deadlines, priorities, tasks, and events for review and scheduling. Hum supports recordings in multiple languages, including conversations that switch languages. Notes can be exported to Notion or Obsidian; tasks can be sent to Reminders, Todoist, or Things; and events can be added to a calendar. An Apple Watch companion records voice notes and sends them to a paired iPhone for processing. Standard transcription runs locally through Apple’s speech framework. Text used for AI structuring and chat goes to Anthropic by default, or OpenAI or Google according to settings. Hum Max can answer questions across notes with source references. A free plan and seven-day trial are available.
