TalespokeCampaign notes for Game Masters
Campaign notes that file themselves.
After the session, say what happened. Talespoke picks out the NPCs, plot threads and places you mention and files them, all on your iPhone.
One campaign free, with as many notes as you like. Talespoke Plus is £2.49 a month or £14.99 a year.
After the session
Say it the way you’d tell a friend.
Tap New note, then the microphone, and talk: your words are written down on your iPhone as you speak. Then Apple’s on-device model reads the note and picks out the names in it, each in its colour.
You check it before anything is saved.
Keep or drop each name with a tick, rename it, or change its kind. A new name that sounds like one already on file asks “Did you mean…?” first, and is never linked unasked.
Then it’s filed.
The recap goes on the timeline in your own words, and what it said about each name is added to that name’s page.
Every NPC, thread and place
Every name keeps a page.
Tap a name and you get everything you’ve ever said about it, oldest first. Thessaly turns up in four notes across four weeks, and her page has all four, each linked back to the night you said it.
At the table
Ask your notes.
Type “Where is Dorn?” and Talespoke writes an answer on your iPhone from your own notes, with the notes it used listed under it so you can check. When your notes don’t say, it tells you so.
Or just type a name.
Every NPC, thread and place it matches comes first, then every note that mentions it, the words you typed shaded. “Wait, who’s that?” is a few letters away.
Eight weeks later
Threads stay open until you close them.
The drowned bells were a rumour to plant in August. By October the players had forgotten them, and the notebook hadn’t. Every hook, secret and debt stays open, its notes in order, until you mark it resolved.
Small things that save a session.
The party is never an NPC.
Add the player characters, and the players’ own names if you like. However often they come up in a recap, neither is filed as an NPC.
A misheard name asks first.
A new name spelt or sounding like one on file is asked about, so a slip doesn’t quietly start a second page.
Nothing you said is lost.
Close the app mid-sentence or run out of battery: the note waits on your iPhone until you save it.

Talespoke Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. It renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period, in your Apple Account’s subscription settings. If it ends, nothing is deleted: every campaign stays readable and exportable, and the one you wrote in last keeps taking notes. UK prices; the App Store shows yours before you confirm.
Questions.
Does Talespoke record my sessions?
No. You dictate a note after the session, or while you prep the next one. It’s turned into text on your iPhone as you speak, and the audio isn’t kept.
Does it need Apple Intelligence?
Automatic filing and answers do: an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, with it turned on. Without it, Talespoke is a quick notebook you file by hand, names already on file are still linked, and Search still finds every note.
Do my notes sync to my other devices?
No. They stay on the iPhone you wrote them on, which is why there’s no account. An iPhone backup moves them to a new phone, and you can export any campaign as Markdown.
What happens if I stop paying for Plus?
Nothing is deleted or hidden. Every campaign stays readable and exportable, and the one you wrote in last keeps taking notes.
Which games does it work with?
Any tabletop roleplaying game, including one of your own. It doesn’t need to know the rules.
When can I get it?
It’s coming soon to the App Store. Leave your email below and we’ll send one message on launch day.
