MacroMark is voice capture for people whose notes live in Markdown. Tap your Watch complication, speak, lower your wrist, and let MacroMark append the thought to today's note.
MacroMark is in active development toward V1.0. It is not on the App Store yet.
A note before the thought cools
MacroMark is built around the moment when opening a phone would be enough friction to lose the idea. The Watch collects, the phone processes, and your vault receives one clean Markdown entry.
- Tap from your watch face. Deep links open instant capture without a hunt through app screens.
- Speak, pause, keep going. The custom audio path is designed for long, messy thoughts instead of tiny dictated snippets.
- Lower your wrist to save. Recordings are queued durably on the Watch and delivered to iPhone when the connection is ready.
- Land in today's file. Processed notes append to a dated Markdown file instead of scattering across throwaway documents.
Designed for vaults, not inboxes
MacroMark writes to plain-text daily notes so capture lands where PKM users already work. The product is built for Markdown workflows, review by date, and notes that remain useful outside the app.
Say the shape of the note
Verbal macros turn natural speech into structure. Use the built-in Markdown triggers or create your own phrases for the way you actually capture.
- Heading Two:
## - Task:
- [ ] - New Journal Entry:
## {date} at {time} - Dropoff:
{location} - - Block ID:
^id-{uuid} - Not:
{backspace}
Native where reliability matters
- watchOS capture: Capture starts from the wrist, where the thought appears.
- WatchConnectivity: Watch recordings queue durably and transfer when the phone is available.
- iCloud Drive: Notes land in user-owned files.
- SwiftUI and SwiftData: Native Apple-platform foundations keep the app focused and local.
V1.0 is about trust
- Reliability core: Capture should survive real wrist-down usage and connectivity gaps.
- Status and recovery: The app should make pending and failed transfers understandable.
- Review by date: Captures should be easy to audit in daily-note form.
- App Intents: System surfaces should make capture fast.
- Setup proof: First-run setup should show exactly where notes go.
- Daily-note shape: The output should be clean enough to live in a real vault.
- Transcription integrity: The text should preserve what was said without surprise formatting.
- Launch readiness: Privacy answers, a support page, and proof it's ready matter as much as features.
Privacy stays plain
MacroMark is built around local capture, Apple speech services where applicable, and user-owned note files. It is not a social inbox or analytics product.
