Voice Memo Organizer

What it does

Voice Memo Organizer finds Apple Voice Memos on macOS, extracts metadata from the local SQLite database, batch-transcribes recordings locally using whisper.cpp, and produces per-recording summaries and a master index for search. It outputs transcripts, JSON summaries, and an index designed for Obsidian or text-based workflows.

When to use it

Use when you have many untitled or unsearchable voice recordings and want local, private transcription and organization without external API keys. Ideal for researchers, journalists, or anyone with large personal audio archives.

What's included

• Scripts: procedural bash/python snippets to locate recordings, export SQLite metadata, convert audio with ffmpeg, and run whisper.cpp for transcription. (has_scripts=false in fetch metadata but the SKILL.md contains runnable commands and examples.)
• References: notes about where recordings are stored and model download links.
• Instructions: step-by-step setup covering Full Disk Access on macOS, installing tools, batch transcription, summary generation, and index building.

Compatible agents

Best used with local automation or agent processes that can run shell commands and access the filesystem. Works well with Copilot/Codex-style tooling or Claude Code agents that orchestrate local binaries like whisper.cpp and ffmpeg.
