## What is AudioNest?

AudioNest turns your voice recordings into searchable transcripts — right on your device, no cloud, no subscription.

RECORD
Start a recording with a single tap. AudioNest captures high-quality audio (AAC, 44.1 kHz, Stereo) and shows real-time audio levels as an animated waveform.

TRANSCRIBE
After stopping, AudioNest automatically transcribes the recording using WhisperKit. The model runs entirely on your iPhone — your data never leaves the device.

IDENTIFY SPEAKERS
AudioNest identifies different speakers in the recording and automatically assigns text passages to them. Rename speakers or merge them if the recognition identifies multiple as one.

AI SUMMARY
Get the key points summarized — powered by Apple Intelligence, entirely on-device. Choose between Structured, TL;DR, Bullet Points, or Action Items. Action items are displayed as an interactive checklist.

EXPORT
Share your transcripts as Markdown, plain text, or JSON — including the AI summary. Copy text to the clipboard with a single tap. Optional: mirror recordings and transcripts automatically to a folder of your choice.

PRIVACY
No cloud. No tracking. No analytics. All data stays on your device. Period.
