@ProductHunt gm, shipping updates to Flint! for everyone who’s lost a great idea because opening notes and typing took 10 seconds too long.
Local-first, no subscription, fast. https://t.co/XDOiIUIbOU
Yes!! Key points from offline/online meetings, dumping thoughts and make notes out of it, manage calendar schedules by just talking through it.
All in Flint, all done on-device, all private. No cloud storage, no subscription.

if you love spaced repetition, i built this app for you!
- dump your thoughts anytime. no typing, just talk
- every morning, receive digest from yesterday's notes with insights baked in
what you get:
- increased awareness
- sharper memory
what i'm working on next:
- follow-up suggestions from digest (add to calendar, message someone)
- connect your tools (like slack, todoist) so you can run the follow-ups in there

Did this weather as background for fun because i thought it'd be nice to capture the "mood" of when I created a voice note. But one user said, "it's really thoughtful, I love it!"
I didn't expect it to be the WOW moment for her, and now I'm happy 🥰
What's the weather in your place?
From pocket to note, this is why I built Flint.
I've been switching between Notion, Apple Reminders, Notes, and everything else, looking for a way to capture thoughts while I'm in the middle of something. All I want is to mark the spark. I don't want to select a page, choose a date, or create anything. Let me do one thing and leave me!
With Flint, that was the first thing I designed around. Phone stays locked in my pocket, I press the Action Button, and my thought lands as a note. The process has to be fast so I can put the phone back in my pocket the moment I press stop.
The funny thing is, I didn't plan to build the app. I was looking for my first mobile app to build. Ideas come and go, but I didn't have the tool I want to capture them. So I thought, let's just build it maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I shared Flint with a few friends for feedback. One of them bought it on the spot and asked for Notion integration. Another asked where the data is stored (he needed to know for his research work) and asked for Google Drive. The thing is, Flint has no database or cloud storage! The only database it has is the local database on the phone, where all the audio, notes, and images are stored. So the integrations are going to be a fun challenge, because I want to keep no database to maintain (the fastest db is no db :D).
Excited to build this, and thank you all for the feedbacks!
an app to capture ideas FAST must also:
- seamless to pin note → focus on a key theme
- super easy to delete note → not a dumpster of stale info
- performant → can't capture FAST if the app isn't
no more holding thoughts in my head (I just let it out). soo loving it!
Finally shipped @flintvoice!
It's the fastest way to capture my thoughts. Tap → talk → done.
Nothing stored in server, and you can choose to use your own API key (direct API call from device, nothing goes to server).
