New webhook feature is amazing!

After several months of using Letterly, I've come to appreciate its elegant balance of simplicity and power. While initially, the notes felt somewhat confined within the app, recent updates have dramatically expanded its capabilities.

The newly released webhook features are a game-changer. https://letterly.app/updates/ With a single click, I can now send both original and AI-improved versions of my notes via webhook (to Pabbly), opening up countless possibilities for content management and distribution.

Letterly's flexible automation system allows you to create different workflows for various purposes: • Personal notes • Business content • Journaling • Social media posts

Each automation can be directed to different destinations, such as separate Google Sheets, making organization and access remarkably straightforward.

This tool has transformed my daily workflow. Recently, I was able to draft a comprehensive project proposal during my morning commute. What would have typically taken hours of sitting at my desk was accomplished through simple voice notes that Letterly transformed into polished, professional content (at least the initial draft).

The development team clearly values user feedback, evidenced by their continuous improvements. While some users debate the 15-minute limit, I believe it aligns with the tool's core purpose: quick, efficient note-taking rather than long-form transcription.

Future Improvements The addition of audio export capabilities (via webhook) would further enhance the tool's utility, enabling automatic archiving of original audio files for future reference.

For busy people seeking an efficient way to harness AI for note-taking and content creation, Letterly is an invaluable tool that continues to evolve and improve. Its combination of simplicity, power, and new integration capabilities makes it a standout choice in the productivity tool landscape.

Hi!

Huge thanks for such an amazing review — it’s so cool to read it :)

We’re really happy you liked the webhooks! This is actually just the first version — even more awesome things are coming soon :)

Regarding your request about “enabling automatic archiving of original audio files for future use” — if I understood you right, you’d like to automatically send not only the text, but also the audio to a convenient destination. Totally makes sense. Just so you know, right now you can do this manually using "Save audio to" and upload it wherever you need. But yes, we’re definitely considering ways to automate this too — sounds like you're into power-automation workflows :)

Overall, feedback like yours means a lot to us — so thank you again.
If you ever have more specific ideas or requests, feel free to email us at hi@letterly.app — we’re always happy to chat!

Unusable without notes export

You can't fetch your notes on a web interface. What's the point to take audio notes on the move if you can't dowload a CSV with all your text notes.

The app is nice but is quite unusable in its current state.

If the app get this feature, thet it would be really a 5 star.

Hi! And thanks for such honest feedback.

Of course, it stings a bit to get a 1, since we’re really trying to pack the app with useful stuff. But if it’s a fair 1, then yeah — it’s a clear sign we need to do better.

About export: yes, we agree, it’s an important feature and we will add it. You’re absolutely right — it’s something we need to ship soon, especially since more users have been asking for it lately. You’re definitely not alone, so it’s moving up on our priority list :)

Just to give you a bit of context — we’re building for four platforms: Web, iOS, Mac, and Android. Each one needs its own development (only Mac and iOS share some code). There’s a long list of requests from users, and we’re constantly balancing them. Right now, for example, we’re working on longer recordings — a lot of people said 15 minutes just isn’t enough.

Anyway, thanks again for your feedback — I’m really looking forward to making you happy when this feature finally lands! I hope soon :)

Would have given 5 but....

I bought your first LTD, and would really like to buy again, to upgrade to 2 devices.
BUT, what's holding me back is, that it's not possible at ALL to save or export existing notes to anywhere. its not even a function.
I like your app, and the features, but im really down, regarding the lack of this "must have" function.
Otherwise you are just locking us to your app, and with our even having the possibility to make backups. Which is really important for me, to make backups, and even being able to use those notes for anything, besides inside the app.

Im sad about not having gotten more updates in this app, besides bug fixes, and small enhancements. An exports feature would be so obvious and simple to implement.

Are you considering this? or ? should we leave it at 3 stars?

Hi!

Thanks so much for your honest feedback — it’s super helpful and really does help us move forward.

About export: yes, we agree, it’s an important feature and we will add it.

Of course, it’s a bit sad to get a 3, but you’ll see — we’ll release this feature and you’ll be happy with it :)

I also wanted to share a bit about our development process. We support four platforms: Web, iOS, Mac, and Android. Each one requires separate development (only Mac and iOS overlap a bit). There are tons of feature requests from users. For example, right now we’re working on supporting longer recordings — the most common complaint is that 15 minutes isn’t enough.

So all these requests pile up and it’s hard to do everything at once.

I totally get that what you're asking for isn’t a complex feature, but we still need to find space for it in our roadmap.

So hang tight — we will build it, I just can’t promise a specific timeline right now because project management is a bit tricky. Believe me, I’m dreaming of having it live as much as you are :)

Great but 15 is way too short

The AI is generally good as is the UX, but 15 minutes recording that's a nonsense. Most meeting last more than 15 minutes

Hi James,

Thank you for your feedback!
We are already working actively on implementing longer recordings, so we hope it won't be an obstacle in the future :)

Hope to deliver good news soon!

Letterly is not made for me

I purchased Letterly to use it on both my phone and PC (TIER2). Unfortunately, the problem started here as there is no traditional login system with a password and email. Instead, a magic password system is used, which is not optional and seems cumbersome.
Linking with a Google account is required, which I perceive as unnecessary surveillance. The 15-minute limit is also unnecessary and restrictive. 50 years of humanity with a classic password system instead of offering something else as an option is being curtailed without being asked.
Additionally, it is not possible to merge or further edit messages with additional content in a convenient way, which severely limits usability. Furthermore, audio files cannot be uploaded.
It is also not possible to give instructions on the fly via voice command, which unnecessarily prolongs the work. Overall a nice idea, unfortunately not thought through far enough.

Conclusion: While some users might be able to live with these limitations, my overall experience was negative. The software has potential but is severely limited by too many restrictions.

Hello,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts — we truly appreciate your feedback.

We’re exploring several new features, including voice updates to existing notes, command-based interactions, and the ability to upload external audio files for transcription. These are all on our roadmap, but as with any development process, it’s a matter of priorities and available resources.

As for the time limit — yes, we’re planning to increase it, and we’re hopeful this will happen by summer. The new limit will go beyond the current 15 minutes.

We’d also like to share that since our initial launch, we haven’t stopped building. Together with our users, we’ve introduced many new features: support for custom rewrite options, a search bar, bulk note deletion, language interface selection, headings, tags, and webhooks. And there’s more to come!

Thank you once again for helping us shape a better product. Your perspective means a lot, and we hope that over time, Letterly will become something that fits your needs even better.
