So, uh, this week is a lot. The client deck is due Thursday, that's the big one, and I need the Q3 numbers from Sam first. Two interviews on — I think — Tuesday and Wednesday. Basically I keep pushing the expense report, like, just do it Monday morning. Um, and keep Thursday morning free for the deck.
Ums, false starts and tangents are fine. That's how thinking sounds.

Um, okay. Today was kind of a mixed day. I was anxious all morning about the presentation, like, couldn't focus at all. But it actually went fine? People asked good questions. I don't know, I think I worry too much before things. Walked home instead of taking the bus, that helped. Grateful for Mum's call tonight.

Tuesday evening
A mixed day
I spent the morning anxious about the presentation and couldn't focus at all. It went fine in the end, and people asked good questions. I think I worry too much before things. Walking home instead of taking the bus helped, and I'm grateful for Mum's call tonight.
What I noticed
- The worrying beforehand was worse than the presentation itself.
- Walking home helped me unwind.
- A call with Mum made the evening.
Grateful for today
- The presentation going well
- People's good questions
- The walk home
- Mum's call tonight

Okay so, um — Mum's sixtieth is on the 14th. A surprise dinner at Luigi's? Wait, no, they're closed on Sundays, so Saturday the 13th. The cousins and her book club, like twenty people, about fifty a head. Priya can do a photo slideshow. I'll book by Friday. Oh and keep it out of the family chat!

Hi both, here's the plan for Mum's surprise dinner: Saturday the 13th at Luigi's (they're closed on Sundays), about 20 of us, around $50 a head.
Priya, could you make a photo slideshow? I'll book the table by Friday. Not a word in the family chat!

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is Gabbly?
Gabbly is an iPhone app that turns voice notes into writing. You talk the way you think, and Gabbly writes a clear note from what you said, which you can then rewrite as a summary, email or post, translate, tag and share.
How is this different from iPhone dictation?
Dictation types exactly what you say, ums and all, and you still have to tidy it up. Gabbly listens to the whole ramble and writes a clean version of it. The word-for-word transcript is always kept too, so nothing is lost.
Will it still sound like me?
Gabbly writes from your own words, not from scratch. You choose how much it rewrites (a light tidy-up through to a full rewrite) and how long the result should be, and you can edit any note.
Which languages does it support?
You can speak English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Hindi, Japanese, Russian, or let Gabbly detect the language. Notes can be written in 28 languages, so you can speak in one and read in another.
How long can a recording be?
Up to 2 minutes on Free and up to 30 minutes on Pro. On Pro you can record as many notes as you like. Importing audio files is part of Pro.
Is my data used to train AI?
No. Gabbly uses AI providers to transcribe your audio and write your notes, and they don't use your data to train their models. Gabbly asks for your permission before anything is processed. The privacy policy names every provider.
What happens to my recordings?
Audio is stored securely for 30 days so you can play it back, then deleted automatically. Your transcript and notes stay until you delete them or your account.
Does it work without internet?
You can record anywhere. Without a connection Gabbly saves the recording on your phone and transcribes it as soon as you're back online.
Is there an Android app?
We're starting with iPhone. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know about other platforms.
How much does it cost?
You get 20 free minutes to try it, with no card needed. Pro is $9 a month or $90 a year for unlimited recording, longer notes, rewriting and translation. It's billed through the App Store, and you can cancel anytime.
