About
Kurn is an AI meeting note taker that records, transcribes and summarizes your meetings, classes and interviews — privately, on your iPhone. No bot joins your call, no account is needed, and your recordings stay on your device by default.
RECORD ANYTHING
- Record in-person meetings, lectures, interviews and voice notes, in one or more segments.
- Start, pause and stop from the app, the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts, or your Apple Watch.
- Keep recording while you use other apps: the recorder shrinks to a mini bar.
TRANSCRIBE AUDIO TO TEXT
- On-device speech-to-text with Apple's Speech framework, a multilingual on-device model, or Whisper running locally on your iPhone.
- Optional cloud transcription with your own OpenAI, Groq or ElevenLabs API key.
- Speaker identification shows who said what, and suggests the name of a voice you have already named in another meeting.
- Long transcriptions resume where they left off if the app is interrupted.
AI SUMMARIES AND ACTION ITEMS
- Structured summaries with decisions, action items and key points — general, standup, interview or outline templates, or your own.
- Runs on Apple Intelligence on supported devices, or on a provider you choose with your own API key.
- Ask questions about one meeting or your whole library and get answers with tappable timestamps.
- Attach PDFs as reference material, create documents from several meetings, and listen to summaries read aloud.
ORGANIZE AND SHARE
- Folders, Smart Folders, tags, favorites and an archive, with search across every transcript.
- Export summaries and transcripts as PDF, Word, Markdown, Obsidian, HTML or plain text.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Recordings and transcripts are stored on your device, encrypted at rest and locked with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
- Nothing leaves your iPhone unless you turn on a cloud provider.
- No tracking, no analytics, no ads and no account.
FREE AND OPEN SOURCE
- Free to download and use, with no subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no ads.
- The complete source code is public on GitHub under the MIT license, so anyone can check how your recordings are handled.
- Cloud providers are optional and bill you directly through your own API key; Kurn adds nothing on top.
ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN
- Full VoiceOver support in the app, on Apple Watch and in the Live Activity.
- Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and status that never relies on color alone.
Kurn is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Simplified Chinese, and transcribes dozens of languages.
