Tools for people who run things
Every feature is designed to give you back time in your day.
Voice Memos for Follow-Ups
Record quick voice notes between meetings to capture action items, decisions, and ideas. Yaps transcribes them locally so you can search and reference them later.
Listen to Reports
Select any document, email thread, or brief and have Yaps read it aloud in a natural voice. Review materials during your commute, over lunch, or while preparing for your next meeting.
Confidential by Default
Board discussions, M&A plans, personnel decisions, financial projections - none of it leaves your device. Yaps processes everything locally, with no cloud dependency and no data retention.
Works on Flights
Dictate at 35,000 feet without Wi-Fi. Yaps runs entirely on-device, so you can draft emails, record voice memos, and review documents even when you are completely offline.
Smart Dictation History
Every dictation is saved with a timestamp and the app context where you used it. Find that email you dictated last Tuesday or the brief you spoke into Notes yesterday - instantly.
Your voice across your workday
From the first email to the last meeting recap.
Morning Inbox Blitz
Arrive at your desk with 50 unread emails. Open each one, hold the dictation key, speak your reply, send. What used to take an hour now takes 15 minutes.
“Thanks for the Q3 numbers, David. Let's discuss the variance in the APAC region during Thursday's review.”
Post-Meeting Action Items
Walk out of a meeting and immediately record a voice note with decisions made and next steps. Yaps transcribes it so you have a searchable record in seconds.
“Action items from the ops sync: finalize vendor shortlist by Friday, schedule the board update for next Tuesday.”
Dictating Reports and Briefs
Instead of sitting down to type a quarterly report, speak it while your thoughts are fresh. Edit afterward. Most executives find their first draft is 80% there when dictated.
“Our customer retention rate improved 12 percent quarter over quarter, driven primarily by the new onboarding sequence.”
Confidential Communications
Draft sensitive emails about personnel changes, acquisitions, or board matters. Nothing is uploaded, recorded externally, or accessible to anyone but you.
Travel Productivity
Airports, flights, hotels - Yaps works everywhere without Wi-Fi. Dictate on the plane, record voice memos in the cab, review briefs by listening in your hotel room.
Delegating by Voice
Quickly dictate instructions, feedback, or updates for your team. Speak naturally and let Yaps format it as polished text you can drop into Slack, email, or a project tool.
Hear from people like you.
“I run back-to-back meetings from 8am to 4pm most days. Before Yaps, my evenings were spent typing emails I should have sent hours ago. Now I dictate replies in the two minutes between meetings. My inbox is cleared by 5pm and my evenings are mine again. The privacy angle matters too - I handle sensitive compensation and acquisition discussions that absolutely cannot go through a cloud service.”
