Founders think in fragments: a 2 AM worry about CAC, an investor tip on a call, a name from demo day. Those thoughts end up scattered across Notes, Slack, voice memos and email, and the patterns in them never get seen.
Compass is the voice-first notepad for AI-native founders. Open it, hit record, and think out loud. Compass turns your voice into structured, searchable notes with no folders or tags to manage.
Over time, Compass reads across everything you capture. It notices that you've questioned your go-to-market four times in two weeks, that your bottleneck is scope rather than headcount, or that two people you met separately should be introduced. Weekly reflections surface what matters, and one tap turns a private thought into a polished post for X or LinkedIn.
Your notes are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and can be exported as plain Markdown anytime, so they work in Obsidian, Bear, or any editor.
Key features
Voice-first capture with automatic transcription. Hit record on a walk, between calls, or late at night, and Compass transcribes what you say so you never have to type out a half-formed idea again.
AI structures every note automatically. Rambling voice notes become clean, organized notes with the key points pulled out, so you can scan them in seconds instead of re-listening.
Pattern detection across weeks. Compass connects ideas across everything you have captured and flags the decisions you keep circling, the worries that keep coming back, and the themes that are quietly shaping your company.
People and relationship memory. Compass remembers the people you meet and the conversations you have with them, so the investor tip or the intro you promised does not get lost.
Weekly reflections. Each week Compass surfaces what mattered most in your thinking, helping you step back from the day-to-day and see the bigger picture.
From private note to public post. One tap turns a private reflection into a polished build-in-public post for X or LinkedIn, in your own voice.
Private by design. AES-256-GCM encryption at rest and plain Markdown export mean your thinking stays yours and is never locked in.
Who it is for
Compass is built for founders and builders who do their best thinking out loud and want an AI partner that organizes it and spots the patterns they never have time to look for. It is an alternative to juggling Apple Notes, voice memos, Notion, and journaling apps.
Platform and pricing
Compass is available for iPhone (iOS) in early access. It comes with a 14-day free trial, then $9.99 per month during early access ($19.99 per month at public launch).
Every note compounds. Just talk, and let Compass do the organizing and pattern-spotting for you.
