Which should you pick?
Pick Monologue if you want an AI notebook for voice notes across your devices. Pick SayWire if you want your Watch to act like a keyboard for your Mac, for example to prompt a coding agent or reply in a chat window without walking back to your laptop.

Monologue for thinking and note taking, SayWire for getting words into whatever app is open on your Mac right now.
