![]() has a "finger typing" mode as well - e.g.minor: stays in Drafts after the timeout.settable threshold to time out and end note."Hey Siri, start Drafts" requires taps to start recording.Tapping on Drafts wtch complication (widget) can be configured to go straight to dictation\."Hey Siri, make note using Drafts" can be configured to go straight to dictation.The Drafts watch app, in particular, mostly wins: Thanks, - your post was what finally impelled me to install Drafts on my iPhone and Watch. Q: is Things 100% voice controlled? Or do you have to touch your watch with your finger (or nose)? So far, Apple Reminders is the only 100% voice controlled watch app I have found (and it stopped synching, and I can't get it to synch again). The "Just Press Record" app is the only app I have found so far that can take voice input when disconnected and then transcrive when connected. Q: does Things need your cell phone to be connected to make such voice notes? I live in an area where cell coverage is spotty. "add actions to Things" may be a good addition to this list of "apps that work well for voice notes on an Apple Watcxh". (Reinstalling from backup does NOT fiox.) (Haven't tried a full iPhone Factorey Reset yet - because that takes weeks to recover from, manually reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. I was similarly happy with Apple Watch Calendar and Reminders, until they stopped synching, as described in Įven the guys in the Apple Store Genius Bar can't fix it for me. This isn't really what you want for a GTD-style collection app when an idea pops into your head. IMoodJournal also allows you to speak a diary note. I have it pop up onto my wrist at 5 minutes before the hour during the work day, and prompt to record how I am feeling - Great/Good/Meh, etc. ![]() I have tried various "Time Chime" apps, but the app that I have found works best for me so far does both QS and Time Chime: iMoodJournal. I also likely "Hourly Chimes", at circa 5 minutes before the hour. I am into QS (Quantitative Self) - monitoring moods, etc., figuring out when I am working well and when I am not. Q: what other "quickly collect items on your watch" options are there? Bonus points for 100% voice controlled, offline, records speech as well as transcription, and easy to transfer to other apps. Problem: not 100% voice controlled, so requires poking at the watch screen, with finger, or nose if hands are full. Transcribes directly to your OneNote Quick Notes section, saves work. Problem: the process of requesting a transcription, and then moving the transcription to my main tracking system (in my case, OneNote) is onerous.ģ) I just realized that Microsoft OneNote has a watch app. Problem: not 100% voice controlled: I frequently find myself having to poke buttons on my watch with my nose. Plus, you have original voice recording to double check. Doesn't need to be connected - it will record a voice file, which you can have transcribed later. ( )Ģ) The "Just Press Record" watch app is great. Biggest problem is that I have Reminders on my watch stopped synching with Reminders on my iPhone/iCloud two weeks ago. Bigger problem is that it can only be used when connected to cloud, which is unreliable in the canyon I live in. Small problem in that it times out, so can only use for short notes. It can be used voice-only - "Hey Siri, remind to to write up idea about cache coherency". Q: what are the best watch apps people have found to do this?Ġ) Surprisingly, Apple's standard Notes app is not watch enabled.ġ) Apple's Reminders app is watch enabled. Unanticipated benefit: being able to collect quick items - To Dos, ideas, set appointments - easily, by voice, on my wrist. (Unreliable because of synch problems - but that's another post.) I bought my Apple Watch mainly to be able to look at my calendar, be notified when I need to go to a meeting, on my wrist.
