I’m building a voice-first app for the messy beginning of creative work

I’m building Tapestry, an iPhone app for the stage where an idea is too loose for a doc but too useful to leave in your head. The behavior I’m designing around is simple: talk through a project naturally, then get something you can actually revisit afterward. Right now it gives you a transcript and pulls out things like connections, constraints, questions, techniques, and possible next steps. The problem I’m trying to solve is that voice memos are great for capturing thoughts, but terrible as a creative archive. Most of mine used to become audio piles I never opened again. I’m curious how other builders would position this: Is it a notes product, a creative workflow product, or something closer to a thinking tool? And would you make the first screen about recording, reviewing, or turning the recording into action? App link for context: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tapestry-creative-voice/id6799069097
