Audio Sparks: Quick Voice Capture
Capture thoughts in seconds with voice
Audio Sparks is your fastest way to preserve memories. Instead of typing, just speak - perfect for those quick thoughts, sudden recollections, or moments when you're on the go. Every spark of memory matters, no matter how small.
📋 How It Works
Open Audio Sparks
Click the Audio Sparks button in your sidebar or press the keyboard shortcut (Alt+A). The recording interface opens instantly.
Record Your Memory
Click the microphone button and start talking. Share your thought, memory, or story naturally - no need to be formal. Speak for as long or short as you like.
Save to Your Tree
When you finish, click stop. Your audio is automatically transcribed to text (which you can edit) and saved to your selected branch.
Add Context (Optional)
Before saving, you can add a date, location, tags, or attach a photo. Or just save it as-is - the memory is what matters.
