## What is Kiln?

Kiln turns your meetings into the work that comes out of them — entirely on your device.

Record a meeting (or import an existing audio file) and Kiln produces a clean, speaker-attributed transcript in your language, then fires it into the artifact you actually need: a quick summary, detailed notes, action items, sprint-ready Jira stories, a technical-decision log, formal meeting minutes, a follow-up email, or release notes.

Nothing ever leaves your Mac or iPhone. There is no cloud, no account, no subscription, and no analytics. Your recordings, transcripts, and reports stay in the app's private sandbox on your device — delete a meeting and its audio is gone with it.

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
• 100% on-device — transcription, speaker separation, and report generation all run locally
• No account, no sign-in, no subscription, no tracking, no ads
• Works fully offline once set up

CAPTURE
• Record with pause/resume, a live waveform, and a breathing timer
• Import MP3, M4A, or WAV
• Leave the title blank and Kiln names the meeting from its own words

UNDERSTAND
• A speaker-separated transcript you can search, filter by speaker, edit inline, and play back tap-to-seek
• On-device name suggestions: Kiln reads the introductions and proposes real names, each backed by a quote from the transcript, applied only after you confirm

GENERATE — 8 report types
• Quick Summary · Detailed Notes · Action Items · Jira Stories · Technical Decisions · Meeting Minutes · Email Draft · Release Notes
• Reports write themselves on screen as they generate
• Export as Markdown or a paginated PDF, copy, or share — and save the original audio recording

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
• Record or import in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, or Korean
• The transcript, the auto-generated title, the speaker names, and every report come back in that same language — generated on your iPhone, not translated
• Language models download once from Apple and are shared with your device

BUILT FOR ENGINEERS
The transcript is the commodity; the artifact is the product. Kiln is shaped for people who leave a meeting owing engineering deliverables — stories, decisions, owners, and risks — not generic notes.

REQUIREMENTS
• Recording, transcription, and speaker separation: any Apple Silicon Mac, or iPhone 11 or later
• On-device report generation requires Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 or 17, or an M1 or later Mac/iPad). On devices without Apple Intelligence, Kiln tells you plainly and everything except report generation keeps working.
• Available in nine languages — see "In your language," above.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 3.0.0 — 2026-08-15

Kiln now works in eight new languages.

Record or import a meeting in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese,
Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, or Korean — and get everything back in that same
language. The transcript, the auto-generated title, the speaker names, and every
structured report are understood and written natively, never round-tripped
through English.

• Set a default language, or choose one per recording
• Download each language's on-device model once — it's a shared system asset, so
  it works everywhere on your device
• 100% on-device, as always. Your audio never leaves your iPhone.

Fire the Kiln — now in your language.

### 2.1.0 — 2026-08-11

Live Activities come to Kiln.

• Live Activity — while you record, your elapsed time and a Stop button appear right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Step away from the app mid-meeting and your recording stays one glance (and one tap) away.

• Software Update — Kiln now gives you a gentle heads-up in Settings when a newer version is on the App Store. Never forced, never automatic — you decide when to update.

• Redesigned Settings — a cleaner, Apple-style layout, plus a new Permissions section that makes it easy to see and fix Microphone, Live Activities, and Calendar access.

• Polish and refinements throughout.

As always: 100% on-device. Your audio and transcripts never leave your iPhone.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-06

Kiln 2.0 — never miss recording a meeting again.

NEW · Meeting reminders
Turn on calendar reminders and Kiln checks your calendar — entirely on your iPhone — then nudges you just before a meeting starts. Tap the reminder and you're recording in a second, with the meeting name already filled in.

• Choose how early to be reminded — from the moment it starts, up to an hour ahead
• Pick exactly which calendars Kiln should watch
• A soft, custom chime made for Kiln
• Your events never leave your device, and Kiln never edits them

NEW · Share Kiln
A quick new way to pass Kiln along to your team.

Plus refinements throughout.

As always: 100% on-device. No cloud, no account, no analytics.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-14

No release notes.
