The short answer: install AICHE on mobile and desktop, sign in with the same account, enable Cloud Sync if you want notes to follow you, set a passphrase, then record on one device and open the note on another.
Mobile is best for capture. Desktop is best for finishing, editing, sending, and organizing. AICHE lets those be one workflow instead of two separate note piles.
Step-by-Step
- Install AICHE on your phone or tablet.
- Install AICHE on your desktop computer.
- Sign in with the same account on both devices.
- Open Settings and enable Cloud Sync if you want notes available across devices.
- Set a sync passphrase you can remember. AICHE does not store this passphrase for you.
- Record a short note on mobile.
- Open AICHE on desktop and wait for the note to appear.
- Copy, edit, or paste the text into your target app.
Cloud Sync is opt-in. If you leave it off, each device still works independently, but notes do not move between devices.
What Sync Protects
When Cloud Sync is on, note content is encrypted on your device before it leaves. AICHE uses AES-256-GCM with a key derived from your passphrase through Argon2id. The server stores ciphertext, not readable note text.
If you forget the passphrase and lose access to devices that still have the plaintext locally, AICHE cannot recover synced note content for you. That is the tradeoff of zero-access sync.
Good Mobile-to-Desktop Workflows
Walking idea to desktop draft. Record the thought on your phone, then expand it later on desktop.
Apple Watch capture. Record from your wrist, then continue from your phone or computer after sync.
Android widget capture. Start a recording from the home screen, then process the note at your desk.
Meeting follow-up. Dictate action items immediately after a meeting, then paste the polished summary into Slack or email from desktop.
Do This Now
Record a 10-second mobile note that says where you want to use it later. Open AICHE on desktop, find the synced note, and paste it into a blank document.
