Say it out loud.
Talk to the camera whenever you want. VideoDiary keeps the video and writes down what you said, so you can read it back later — and it all stays on your iPhone.
COMING SOON…I keep thinking about what Maya said at lunch, that nobody actually finishes anything anymore. Well. I finished the fence today, so there's that. Second coat tomorrow if the rain holds off…
Saved on this iPhone
The phone does the typing.
Every entry is transcribed and titled by the iPhone itself, using Apple's on-device speech and language models — not a cloud service. Your spoken diary becomes one you can read, and any transcript can be edited in place.
Nobody else sees it.
Your videos and transcripts are saved on your iPhone. There's no VideoDiary server for them to go to.
-
Transcribed by the phone itself, not a cloud service.
-
Locks with Face ID when you put it down.
-
Only backed up if you choose to.
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing watching.
Recordings survive anything.
A diary holds things you only say once. VideoDiary writes each recording to disk as you speak, so a dead battery, a phone call, or a crash mid-sentence doesn't lose the entry — it's recovered, up to the moment you stopped talking. Switch apps mid-recording and the audio keeps going until you come back.
Send entries where you want.
Connectors send an entry's transcript to a place you've set up — a Google Sheet, a GitHub repo, a Notion page, a folder in your iCloud Drive, or a webhook you run. Every send starts with a tap; nothing goes anywhere on its own, and video and audio can't be sent. Connectors will be VideoDiary's paid upgrade — the diary itself works entirely on your iPhone.
