Monologue
Dictation, voice notes and bot-free meeting notes for Apple devices

What is Monologue?
Monologue is a voice app from Every for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. It dictates formatted text into any app, records voice notes that are transcribed and summarized, and on Mac can capture both sides of a meeting without a bot joining the call. Saved notes sync across devices and can be read by AI agents through MCP, a command-line tool and a public API.
Monologue is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $12 per month, billed annually ($15 billed monthly). See every plan
Good for
- People who work across Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
- Recording meetings without a bot joining the call
- Handing voice notes and transcripts to AI agents
Worth knowing
- Apple devices only: Monologue does not offer Windows or Android apps.
- The free trial stops at 1,000 dictation words and 10 recorded notes; after that a Pro or Every subscription is needed.
- Local transcription works only on Apple silicon Macs, and smart formatting still needs an internet connection.
- The web app reviews and organizes notes but cannot record new ones.
Key features
- Dictation in any app
- Hold a shortcut on Mac, or use the Monologue keyboard on iPhone and iPad, and speech becomes formatted text in the app in front of you, with self-corrections removed. Over 100 languages.
- Modes and custom instructions
- Modes change the writing style to suit the app, such as chat, email, notes or code. Custom instructions and a personal dictionary handle tone, names and acronyms.
- Voice Notes
- Record longer thoughts or conversations and get a speaker-separated transcript and a summary. Notes sync across devices and can be reviewed in a web app.
- Bot-free meeting notes
- On Mac, a note can record the microphone and system audio together, capturing both sides of a call without a bot joining. Meeting notes are part of Monologue Pro.
- Local transcription on Mac
- Apple silicon Macs can download a local model that transcribes speech with no connection. Smart formatting still uses the online service, so offline output is a raw transcript.
- MCP, CLI and Notes API
- Saved notes can be read by AI agents through a hosted MCP server, searched from a command-line tool, or pulled into other software with a read-only public API.
