Say it as it comes.
Tap the microphone and follow your train of thought. A voice note, a small observation, a beautifully unfinished idea.
A quiet idea. Coming to iPhone.
The idea on your walk. The feeling you can’t quite name. The thing you don’t want to forget.
Speak it into Underscore. Find the thread, put it into words, and keep what matters.
A voice-first writing app. At your own pace.
“Maybe it’s less about doing more,
and more about noticing.”
Start anywhere. It doesn’t have to
make sense yet.
“I took the long way home today. No podcast, no calls. And for the first time all week, I could hear myself think.”
For everything between the lines
Good thoughts rarely arrive fully formed. They turn up mid-walk, halfway through a coffee, just before sleep. Then life gets loud again.
Underscore gives those thoughts somewhere to land. A place to speak without editing yourself, make a little sense of things, and return when you’re ready.
A small ritual
No blank-page ceremony. Just a place to start.
Tap the microphone and follow your train of thought. A voice note, a small observation, a beautifully unfinished idea.
Turn your voice into text. Use AI to untangle a thought or shape a draft, with your own words as the starting point.
Keep your notes in a quiet library. Revisit an idea, bring thoughts together, or sit down with your week in review.
A closer look
A note to yourself. A clearer perspective. The first paragraph of something you’ve been meaning to write.
Here’s how one small thought might unfold.
I took the long way home today. No podcast, no calls. And for the first time all week, I could hear myself think.
I wonder how much I miss when I fill every quiet moment with something.
Your notes live on your device, with optional iCloud sync. Cloud transcription and AI process content when you use those features.
Some days you’ll have a lot to say. Others, nothing. There’s no score to keep and no perfect way to do this.
Come back to your notes with fresh eyes. Weekly reviews make room for the patterns and ideas you might otherwise miss.
In the making
Underscore is coming to iPhone.
Leave your email, and we’ll let you know when it’s ready.
A few things you might wonder
We’re still shaping the first release. Join the launch list and we’ll let you know when Underscore is ready. There’s no public release date yet.
A little of both. Underscore starts with your voice and gives you room to turn thoughts into notes, reflections, or longer pieces of writing.
No. Voice is a natural place to start, but you can also write and edit your notes. Quiet moments welcome.
AI helps transcribe recordings, clarify ideas, and shape writing. Cloud features send the content needed for that request to a service provider. Your own words stay at the heart of the process.
We’re focusing on iPhone first. Other platforms haven’t been announced.
