What founders use it for
- Decision log. What you decided, what you knew at the time and why. In three months, this is gold – for you, your co-founder and your investors.
- Idea capture. Ideas arrive in the car, on a walk or right after a customer call. Say them before they're gone.
- Call notes. Who said what, what you promised, what's next – recorded in 60 seconds while walking to the next meeting.
- Weekly review. Read the week's transcripts on Sunday and see what actually moved.
- Founder mental health. Running a company is lonely. Saying the hard parts out loud helps you see them more clearly.
Why voice, not a notes app
- Speed: in a Stanford lab study, speaking on a phone was about three times faster than typing. That's the difference between capturing a thought and losing it.
- Context: when typing is slow, you write the "what" and drop the "why". Spoken notes keep the reasoning.
- Timing: the best moment to capture is between meetings – exactly when you can't type.
A simple structure for a decision entry
Say it in this order
- Decision: "We're pausing the enterprise plan for Q1."
- Why: "Two pilots stalled in procurement; self-serve is converting better."
- What I'm unsure about: "Whether we're giving up too early on the bank lead."
- When to revisit: "End of March, after the next cohort."
