Record once. Run a deck of AI Actions.
Capture the thought as audio. Run Polish, Translate, Summarize, or your own Actions on the recording. Re-run with a different Action tomorrow — the recording stays, and AI Actions stay yours to mix.
You recorded a four-minute thought. You ran summarize. Six weeks later you need the full nuance, not the summary — and most apps already deleted the audio.
Why the recorder is built around durability.
The recording stays
Quilin keeps the original audio on your Mac alongside the transcript. Open the recording in six weeks and the source is right there — no "we deleted it for storage" surprise.
Re-run any Action, anytime
Summarize, Translate, Action items, Rewrite as email — the AI Actions library is one click. Change your mind tomorrow and re-run the same recording with a different Action; no re-recording needed.
Outputs are views, not mutations
Every AI Action produces a saved output alongside the recording — never overwriting the source. Stack three different summaries side-by-side; pick the one that holds up.
Moments the recorder is built for.
Three patterns we see again and again in beta. If you recognize yourself in any of them, the recorder is the mode you'll live in.
- Tue · 11:14 PM
An essay shape arrives late
It's 11 PM. You can't sleep — an essay shape just landed. You open your Mac, hit record, talk through it for four minutes, hit stop. The audio is on your device. Run <em>Outline</em> in the morning, <em>Draft</em> next week, <em>Rewrite</em> when the angle clicks.
- Fri · 5:50 PM
End-of-week voice memo to your team
Talk through the week for five minutes at your desk. Run <em>Summarize</em> for the team digest. Re-run <em>Translate to ZH</em> for the Shanghai office. Both versions ship before you close the laptop.
- Sun · 8:02 AM
A founder rant worth keeping
You had a strong take walking through the doc this morning. You record at your Mac, talk it out unedited, hit stop. <em>Rewrite as essay</em> later this week. The raw rant is still there — change your mind on tone, re-run, the audio survives every revision.
Roles who lean on this most.
Two moments from the full day-in-the-life. The whole roster lives at /scenarios.
- Investor / ConsultantThu · 2:30 PM
Post-call deal notes, ready for the memo
You just hung up. You hit record, talk through what stood out for four minutes. The audio stays. Tomorrow you re-run "Extract for IC memo" — partner gets a cleaner draft, you didn't lose the nuance.

End-of-week investor digest, in your voice
Friday morning. Hit record, talk for six minutes about the week — what shipped, what didn't, what surprised you. Re-run "Investor digest" on that recording. Three paragraphs in your voice, not a generated metrics-table tone.
