You just finished a long call. You're in the car. The other person shared something meaningful — a health update, a new job, a worry they've been carrying. You know you should write it down. You know by tonight you'll have forgotten half of it. But you're driving, and typing isn't an option.
Voice notes in Whokin
Whokin's voice note feature is built for exactly this moment. You open the app, tap the microphone, and speak for ten seconds: "Emma mentioned her dad's diagnosis — serious, she's worried about surgery in July. Follow up before then." Done. The note is transcribed automatically, attached to Emma's profile, and encrypted on your device.
The next time you open Emma's profile — before your next call, before her birthday, before you write her a message — it is there.
The most caring thing you can do for someone is remember what they told you. Voice notes make that possible in the moments when typing isn't.
Why voice works better than text for relationship notes
Text notes require stopping what you're doing and composing a thought. Voice captures the raw moment — the emotional weight, the urgency, the things you'd forget to include if you sat down to type it out. It also takes a fraction of the time.
Transcription and privacy
On supported devices, voice notes are transcribed on-device — the audio never leaves your phone. The transcription is stored encrypted in your local database. Nobody else can read it. Not Whokin, not any server.
When to use it
- Right after a call, before you lose the details
- After a chance encounter ("ran into James at the airport — he's moving to Berlin")
- After a long conversation with a parent or close friend
- After someone shares news that you want to follow up on later
