Think out loud on the walk. Get the document back.
The weekly update, the 1:1 write-up, the strategy memo you've been carrying around for three weeks — none of them are hard to think. They're hard to type. Talk it through between two meetings and Waver hands back a structured draft: Executive Summary, Project Update, Meeting Notes, Action Items. Free tier, no card.
One recording in, a finished format out
You don't pick words, you pick a shape. Waver rewrites the same recording into whichever one you need — and you can run it through more than one.
| What you were putting off | What Waver gives you |
|---|---|
| Weekly team update | Project Update — Completed, In Progress, Blockers, Next Steps, ready to paste into Slack or email |
| Board or investor note | Executive Summary — the decision up top, the reasoning under it |
| 1:1 debrief | Meeting Notes — summary, discussion points, decisions, action items as a checklist |
| Strategy memo | Technical Document or Blog Post structure for long-form argument that needs headings |
| Post-call follow-up | Formal Email in your own words, or Client Call Notes with commitments and follow-up date |
| Monday standup | Daily Standup — Yesterday, Today, Blockers |
| Hiring loop | Interview Notes — strengths, concerns, recommendation |
| The pile of half-thoughts | SuperSummary across the whole set — themes pulled out, repetition removed |
The update that gets written because it got spoken
Most weekly updates die in the gap between knowing what happened and finding forty minutes to write it down. You already told three people verbally. Tell Waver instead — walk to the station, talk through the week, and the Project Update template returns it as Completed, In Progress, Blockers and Next Steps. Edit for two minutes, send.
The same recording will also come back as an Executive Summary if the audience is the board rather than the team. Same thinking, different altitude, no second writing session.
1:1 notes you'll actually still have next quarter
Two ways in. Record the conversation itself — meeting recording separates speakers, so "who committed to what" survives the transcript — or just talk for ninety seconds in the corridor afterwards while it's fresh. Either way you get a summary, decisions, and action items as a checklist. Six months later, when the promotion conversation arrives, you have the record instead of the vibe.
SuperSummary: the memo hiding in your last three months
Strategy rarely arrives in one sitting. It accumulates as fragments — a thought on the drive home, a reaction after a customer call, an argument you had with yourself at 11pm. SuperSummary takes a whole set of notes at once, finds the themes running through them, cuts the repetition, and returns one cohesive document. It's the single feature most worth having a messy pile of notes for.
The Dashboard: your own thinking, measured
Total notes, time recorded, words captured, a 30-day activity heatmap, your most-used topics and tags, and your current streak. It answers a question leaders rarely get an honest answer to: what have I actually been thinking about? Three weeks of heatmap will tell you whether you spent the month on strategy or on firefighting. It looks at your notes only — it is not a monitoring tool pointed at your team.
Meetings, decisions and the follow-up email
Record the meeting, get speaker-separated notes with the summary, the decisions and the action items pulled out. Then push the same recording through Formal Email and the follow-up is drafted before you've left the room. For sales and partner calls, Client Call Notes captures requirements, commitments and the next date. Always tell the room you're recording.
Distributed teams, 120+ languages
Transcription covers 120+ languages, so the person leading the standup in Bengaluru and the one summarising it in Berlin can each work in their own. Live translation and live voice conversation handle the calls where you need to be understood in real time. The written artefact comes out in whichever language you're going to circulate.
Everywhere you actually think
Waver runs on iPhone, iPad, macOS and Windows. Ideas arrive on walks, in cars and in the ten minutes before a call — capture on the phone, tidy it on the laptop. Photo scanning pulls in whiteboards and handwritten pages so the sketch from the offsite ends up in the same place as everything else.
How it works
- Talk. Hit record and think out loud — walking, driving, between meetings. Rambling is fine; that's the point.
- Pick the shape. Executive Summary, Project Update, Meeting Notes, Action Items, Formal Email, Daily Standup — whichever the audience needs.
- Read and trim. The draft comes back structured. Your job is deleting a sentence, not writing four hundred.
- Zoom out later. When the fragments pile up, run SuperSummary across them and get the memo the pile was trying to become.

What actually comes back when I talk for six minutes?
A cleaned transcript plus a rewrite in whatever format you picked. Executive Summary, Project Update, Meeting Notes, Action Items, Daily Standup, Formal Email, Casual Memo and Bullet Points are all built in, and each one has its own structure — Project Update, for example, comes back as Completed, In Progress, Blockers and Next Steps.
How is SuperSummary different from summarising one note?
SuperSummary works across a set of notes you select. It merges them into one cohesive document, pulls out the common themes and strips the repetition. Pick a quarter's worth of scattered thinking and get a single memo out the other side.
Can it record my actual meetings?
Yes. Meeting recording separates speakers, then extracts the summary, decisions and action items. Tell the room you're recording — that's on you, not the app.
Does it work for a team that doesn't share one language?
Recording and transcription cover 120+ languages, and there's live translation and live voice conversation if you need to hold the conversation itself across a language gap. Notes can come back in the language you'll actually circulate.
What does the Dashboard show me?
Your own capture habits — total notes, time recorded, words, a 30-day activity heatmap, your most-used topics and tags, and your current streak. It's a mirror on your own thinking cadence, not a management tool pointed at anyone else.
Where does it run?
iPhone, iPad, macOS and Windows. Record on the phone during the walk, edit on the laptop when you sit down.
What does it cost?
There's a free tier — 10 notes and 30 AI uses, no card. Premium works out to $4.13/month on the annual plan and unlocks unlimited notes, every writing style, AI Chat and SuperSummary.
