CocoonWeaver: Sound the moment

Before this app came into my life, I was all over the place — and I still am! But now it’s manageable, like an organised chaos. My therapy sessions are more rewarding because I can go back into my “feelings” cocoon and tell my therapist everything that I wanted to tell him that past week instead of relying on “mental notes” that will realistically last two minutes or less. As a writer, I can organise my thoughts no matter where I am. No more scrambling for a pen and forgetting what I wanted to write by time I find one. I finished two short stories in a week. Also, the highly customisable nature of the app makes it better than anything else I’ve ever tried. You don’t need to conform to a premade structure that might not work for you, and you can write OR say your thoughts, depending on where you are and what you need; it’ll transcribe your recordings for you too. I know, transcription can be really iffy, but as far as that goes it could really be worse. If I could make a suggestion for improvement, it would be to implement subfolders. Like, if I had a “writing” cocoon for example, and then a “short stories” and “novels” cocoon within that, and individual stories within those. Other than that, I don’t think there is a single thing you could do better. Thanks for this incredible app!

I’ve always fancied myself a journaling reflective kind of person, but i never had the patience to sit down and write. This app is the solution! I’ve looked into journal apps, but the audio feature was always a side note or required a subscription. This is an honest, good app. The interface is attractive, the functions are simple and accessible, not flooded with ads. Really a perfect app; I’m always recommending this to others. Not a critique, but a fun idea rather? I’d love if the bubbles in the main screen changed size with how many notes were in there. not necessary, maybe just a fun setting you could turn on to see what you’re thinking about the most. Depends on the need of the user. Anyway, I adore this app and it fits into my life really well!

Love this app- helps me group and organize my stream-of-consciousness monologues that I want to remember and record. Sometimes the app quits suddenly when I’ve recorded a cocoon and it’s transcribing and I try and move quickly trying to record another one. If a cocoon is still transcribing when the app suddenly quits sometimes it keeps trying to transcribe it even when I close the app and reload it. Maybe I’m just moving too fast when the app is already working to transcribe a long thought. I ended up deleting the cocoon that kept trying to transcribe since it seemed to just keep trying and slowing things down. Not a big problem because it only happened when I was moving really fast to see how quickly I could close/open/ start/ delete, start a thought. I’ll just let the cocoon finish transcribing before I try a new one next time!

I have been tirelessly trying to find any app that comes even close to this one for a year now.... so my sincerest gratitude to your obviously talented and creative selves for developing this. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beyond the organizational factors, the elegant design and ease of functionality, the transcription is nearly dead on. Unbelievable! Mighty fine innovators! I rarely leave reviews but I have to praise this app to the highest level possible and I hope that you get all the accolades and prosperity that you most definitely deserve. Just through this app, I may finally be able to make my dreams come to fruition much sooner. Cheers, team!

I like using this app for dream journaling because I can record my memories from the dream using my voice with my eyes closed, which helps me with recall, but then I can still have a text version of the note to look through later. I was using the built in Voice Memos app before but this is so much better. I also recommended it to a friend who dream journals too and who said they have an easier time speaking than writing out their thoughts (I prefer typing myself, except the specific case of recording my dreams). Glad I found this one!
