An Experimental Release

v0.6.0 is not a polished release. It's an exploration — over 110 commits of trying out ideas, building new concepts, and seeing what sticks. Many of these features are rough, some are half-finished, and none are expected to work perfectly for anyone but me.

That's intentional. Remember This is still in the "figure out what this should be" phase. The vision is clear — nothing slips through the cracks of your life — but the path to getting there requires trying a lot of things and learning from what works.

What I Explored

Here's a taste of what went into v0.6.0:

• Voice Memos Live Watching — Real-time chunked transcription of active Voice Memos recordings. A snapshot-based approach that copies the active file to work around M4A format limitations, with progressive text updates as you speak.
• Transcribe Tab — A dedicated recording UI with push-to-talk, transcription history, and a privacy-focused lifecycle: accept the text, delete the audio.
• Task Extraction — Claude Code extracts tasks from voice memos during scheduled processing and writes them to an inbox. "Reminder to call the dentist" becomes a checkbox.
• Time Tracking Dashboard — Summary cards, daily charts, calendar view with minute-resolution gap analysis, and CSV export for invoicing. The time log parser now runs natively inside the app.
• Media Drop Folder — Drop any audio, image, or video file into a folder and it gets processed automatically. The simplest path into the system.
• Review Game — A Three.js visual sorting game for curating photos by life domain. Photos slide in, you sort them into lanes. Surprisingly fun.
• Interview Mode — "Why did you capture this?" Walks through your recent photos and memos one at a time, storing your answers for Claude to use later.
• Breadcrumb Sources — WhatsApp messages, browser history, Git commits, Apple Health data — imported for day reconstruction context.
• Life Domain Tagging — Organize content by life areas (Family, Health, Career) with configurable domains and multi-select.
• MCP Server — Claude Code can query the registry index, search transcriptions, and read app state directly.
• SQLite Migration — Moved from DuckDB to SQLite for reliability. Fixes data loss, concurrency issues, and slow inserts.

Meanwhile: My Transcriber

While Remember This remains experimental, I wanted something people could actually use today. So I built My Transcriber — a stripped-down version of the same codebase, focused entirely on transcription.

No photo processing, no life domains, no review games. Just: record or drop audio, get a transcription, keep the text, delete the recording. It does one thing and does it well.

My Transcriber runs the same Whisper engine with Metal GPU acceleration, supports 99+ languages, and keeps everything local on your Mac. No cloud, no accounts, no subscriptions.

If you want to try something from this project that's actually ready for daily use, start there.

What's Next

I'll keep experimenting with Remember This — the next round of exploration focuses on instant task extraction (small local LLM triage instead of waiting for daily Claude runs), Apple Reminders integration, and a visual orientation board for weekly planning.

Meanwhile, My Transcriber will get the polish and stability that comes from having a narrow focus and real users.

Try My Transcriber

Free. Local. Private. Just transcription.

macOS 15+ required. Apple Silicon recommended.
