structured notes
Everything on the neural engine.
Nothing on a server.
The whole pipeline — audio, transcription, and the language model that writes your notes — runs on the chip in your pocket.
zero cost
Whisper large-v3 turbo and Apple's system LLM run locally. No API bills, no seats, no "free trial". Free forever because there's nothing to pay for.
genuinely private
Audio never leaves the device. Every session is a plain folder in Files — audio, transcript, notes — that you can copy, sync, or delete yourself.
fast & concurrent
Decode workers scale to available memory; ~3s per 8s of audio. Sessions batch through a queue with per-slice checkpoints — an hour-long file survives anything.
apple intelligence
Notes structured and auto-titled by the on-device foundation model, with a local Qwen fallback when it can't run. Editable prompt.
speakers, split
Offline diarization labels multi-voice recordings S1/S2 — interviews and meetings read like scripts, not walls of text.
lives on the island
Recording shows a live timer and waveform on the Dynamic Island; transcription shows real percentage progress. Pause and resume any take.
The note is the product.
A short summary, then the discussion grouped under headings named after what was actually said — with supporting details and quotes nested underneath. Action items only when it was a real meeting.
The transcript stays honest.
Every intermediate is preserved: tap a timestamp to hear the original audio from that exact sentence. Speakers are separated on-device — no upload, no third-party diarization API.
Your models, your call.
Pick the whisper size that fits your storage. Restrict languages for mixed-language speech. Edit the notes prompt. Delete any model with a long-press. It's your phone.
