SmartNotes is a Swift-based iOS app (MVP) for podcast listeners who want to remember and use what they hear.
The core idea is simple: listen to podcasts, get transcripts, capture highlights, generate summaries, and turn important ideas into notes you can revisit.

This project started from a real problem:
- Podcasts and videos often contain valuable insights
- It is hard to remember all key takeaways later
- Manual note-taking while listening is slow and distracting
SmartNotes is being built as a practical solution for that.
The MVP focuses on podcast workflows:
- Browse and access podcast content
- Generate or retrieve podcast transcripts
- Extract key highlights from episodes
- Summarize the content
- Create personal notes from the summary/highlights
Status: In active development. The project is ongoing, and work is currently focused on building a suitable API integration for podcast data.
After podcast support is stable, SmartNotes will expand to video support:
- Provide a video link
- Generate transcript from the video
- Extract highlights
- Summarize key points
- Save notes from video content, similar to podcasts
- Language: Swift
- Platform: iOS
- UI Framework: SwiftUI
- Project Type: MVP / iterative product development
