Voice Memos to Markdown

voice2md is a Mac menu-bar app that watches a folder and turns voice recordings into well-named markdown files for a personal wiki. It first tries to pull transcripts directly from Apple Voice Memos metadata, then falls back to local whisper.cpp β€” keeping everything private. Output is plain markdown with frontmatter and a verbatim transcript, with optional AI summaries via Claude, Azure OpenAI, or Ollama. The app is intentionally minimal (no diarization or multi-language support) and acts as an inbox for a wiki agent that files notes automatically. This small utility turns voice memos from a chore into a frictionless flow from voice to personal wiki.
