I want my Apple Watch to record a voice note that ends up in my notes library. What app does that?

Drafted with AI from the Nemos app and its documentation. Details about other apps can change, so check their sites.
A watch is the fastest recorder you own when your hands are full, on a walk or in the kitchen. The usual problem is that recordings stay trapped in a separate app.
With Nemos, the recording moves from the Watch to the iPhone, where it is transcribed on the device. It then behaves like any other item: searchable by what you said, ready for a folder or a reminder, and included in the AI chat if you want to ask about it.
The Watch app needs watchOS 11 or later and works as a companion to the iPhone app. It records voice. Transcription happens on your iPhone, so the text shows up after the two have connected, not on your wrist.
When something else fits better: if you only want a timed recording and to export the audio, Just Press Record is simpler. If you want text on the Watch rather than audio, Drafts has a Watch app. Nemos runs on iPhone and iPad, with an Apple Watch companion and browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari. There is no Android or Windows app.
