I use (and love) the TP-7 for voice notes, half-formed ideas, etc. The official companion app is fine for what it is but left me wanting.
So I started building something to fill the gap. Pull recordings in, transcribe them, make them findable later. But the transcripts wanted titles and summaries, the summaries wanted to be searchable, and at some point it turned from a TP-7 add-on into its own thing.
Still works great with the TP-7 though. Drop the audio in and it handles the rest.
It’s called SR-7 and works on Mac and iOS. Everything’s built around voice — you talk, it does the tedious part of turning that into something you can actually read and use.
Transcription and summaries run on-device. Nothing gets uploaded, and every recording is just a Markdown file with the audio sitting next to it. Your files, no app needed to read them (works well with AI)
No subscription either. Renting software wears me out as a user, so I didn’t build it that way.
Launched last week after months of beta testing and iteration with a small group. Curious what you make of it — especially TP-7 owners, since that’s where the whole thing started but maybe also anyone who wants a TP-7 like experience without the hardware.

PS: SR-7 is optimized for voice recordings. I also use the TP-7 for my music making and for listening but that is a different topic.
