Thoughts transcribed and formatted automatically with zero friction. Just offload and get back to your day.

Fantastic app

Olly makes it ridiculously easy to jot something down the second it pops into your head, no friction, no overthinking. I’ve tried a bunch of note apps, but this is the first one that actually keeps up with how my brain works.

Keep notes organised without manual filing

Olly reads what you said and files it where it belongs. Ideas, brain dumps, follow-ups — every note lands in the right place on its own.

Search results in Olly for the word idea, matching text highlighted in each note

Find it when you need it

Every note is transcribed and searchable the second it is saved. Search a half-remembered word and the whole thought comes back.

Write when speaking is awkward

In a meeting or half asleep. Don’t worry about spelling or grammar. Just offload your thoughts and Olly tidies it up automatically.
