Hum Memo

What Hum Memo is

Hum Memo turns voice recordings into transcripts and structured notes on iOS and macOS. It can add titles, tags, and summaries, then file recordings automatically so they can be searched later. From speech, it identifies deadlines, priorities, tasks, and events for review and scheduling. Recording supports multiple languages, including conversations that switch between languages. Hum Max can answer questions across notes and cite the notes it used. Notes can be exported to Notion or Obsidian, tasks sent to Reminders, Todoist, or Things, and events added to a calendar. An Apple Watch companion sends voice notes to a paired iPhone for processing. Standard transcription runs locally through Apple’s speech framework; text used for AI structuring and chat is sent to Anthropic by default, or OpenAI or Google depending on configuration. A free plan and 7-day trial are available. Hum Pro costs $8.99 a month and Hum Max costs $14.99 a month; features and monthly usage allowances vary by plan and appear in the app before purchase.
