We built Waver because we kept rewriting the same thoughts.
A voice notes app shouldn't feel like another todo list. Here's how we ended up here, what we believe, and what we're trying to do.
The problem
Most ideas don't survive the trip from your head to a keyboard. You think of a great way to phrase something while walking, get back to your desk, and the moment's gone. Or you sit through a 45-minute meeting and the minute it ends you can't remember half of what was said.
Voice should fix that. You can talk three times faster than you can type, and the words you say are usually closer to what you actually mean than the ones you carefully edit afterwards. But raw transcription is messy. It has "ums" and false starts and tangents and you wouldn't want to share it with anyone.
What Waver does
You talk. We do everything else.
That includes turning your voice into clean writing in any of 60+ styles — a blog post, an email, a YouTube script, a Slack message, a journal entry, a study guide, code, lyrics, an essay. It includes recording entire meetings on Zoom, Meet, Teams, or any app, then handing back a summary, action items, decisions, and a follow-up email. It includes scanning a textbook page with your camera and getting flashcards, or pulling a podcast off the web and getting a 5-minute summary.
All in one app. All in 125+ languages. All with a single subscription.
What we believe
1. Privacy isn't a feature, it's the floor.
Your voice notes are yours. We don't train on them. We don't sell them. We don't share them. You can delete any note and it's gone — from our servers and from your devices. Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest. We have a clear privacy policy you can read in 4 minutes.
2. The free tier should actually be useful.
10 notes and 30 AI uses per account, forever. Every recording mode. Every output style. Every language. We make money from people who love it enough to upgrade, not from frustrating people into giving us their card details.
3. AI should disappear when it's working.
You shouldn't need to learn how to write a prompt to use a voice notes app. The model is doing real work in the background — Gemini, Whisper, Imagen, Veo — but the experience is just: hit record, talk, get something good. If you have to think about which model to pick, we've already failed.
4. One subscription, every feature.
We don't do tiered pricing where the cheap plan is missing the thing you actually want. Premium unlocks everything. $4.13/month if you pay annually. Cancel anytime, no questions, no friction.
Where we're from
Waver was started by an indie team in Chennai, India. We work in public. We answer support emails ourselves. If you find a bug or want a feature, we want to hear it. The fastest way is our support page.
What's next
We're building Waver for the long term. The roadmap right now: integrations with the tools you already use (Notion, Slack, Linear, Google Drive), better real-time collaboration on meeting notes, more nuanced speaker identification, deeper analytics, and a desktop app that doesn't require a browser to record system audio.
If that sounds interesting, try the app on your next thought, your next call, your next idea. The first 10 are free.
