Firstlight is a calm voice journal and second brain. Talk the way you think, and Firstlight turns the ramble into clear notes, to-dos and reminders, files each one in a room and brings it back when it matters.
No folders to keep, no lists to tidy. A brain dump on a walk becomes voice notes you can find again, even half-remembered.
HOW IT WORKS
• Tap the circle and talk. Prefer to type, add a photo or save a link? Those are one tap away too. Nothing records until you tap.
• Every capture is saved on your phone first, so it is kept even with no signal. You always see its state: Kept, Safe, Sorted.
• Firstlight turns your voice into text on your phone and files it quietly. One long ramble can become several separate items, each with a title, tags and a room. Undo all puts it back, and every single change can be removed on its own.
• Say a date and Firstlight sets the reminder for you, with the sentence it came from. Try: "Remind me tomorrow at 10 to call the dentist." Reminders arrive as a gentle notification with Done and Tomorrow.
• Each morning, Today greets you with a short letter: only what needs you, at most five things. Once a day, at a time you choose, you get one notification. Nothing needs you? It says so. No streaks, no badges.
• Search finds your words across everything you kept, and it works offline.
• Speak in English, Dutch, German, French or Spanish. The app itself is in English, Dutch and German.
YOUR DATA
• Sign in with Google. No passwords, no forms.
• Your account backs up your captures, so they come back when you sign in on a new phone. With Plus they also sync between your devices. They are encrypted on your phone before upload and stored as encrypted data on servers in Germany, run by Chime Stream B.V., a company in the EU. So that restoring works without recovery words, our server keeps a wrapped copy of your key. That is encryption at rest, not end-to-end encryption.
• Free transcription happens on your phone, so your voice stays there. If you use Plus cloud transcription, or ask Firstlight to sort a note or read a photo or link, the audio, text or image goes through our server to AI providers (Groq, Mistral and Google). They process it only to do that job, and none of it is used to train models. The Privacy screen in the app shows what was sent.
• No ads. Export everything as a ZIP any time. Delete your account and all your data inside the app: You > Account > Delete account.
FREE
• Record without limits: voice, writing, photos and links. The audio is always kept.
• Private transcription on your phone. Speech becomes text on the device and nothing leaves it.
• 3 AI sorts a day, plus 3 photos and 3 links read a day.
• Backup and restore with your account, so your notes come back on a new phone.
Search, reminders, Today and export are always yours too. Past the daily three, your captures are still kept, and sorting is there again tomorrow.
