## What is LocalNote?

LocalNote turns meetings, lectures, interviews, and ideas into private, searchable voice notes on iPhone and iPad.

Record first. After you stop, LocalNote transcribes the audio, builds a searchable transcript, and keeps the recording ready for replay.

CAPTURE WHAT MATTERS

- Record with one tap
- Mark Bookmark, Important, To-Do, Question, or Idea moments as you go
- Pause, resume, and recover from common audio interruptions
- Add text-only notes when audio is not needed

TURN AUDIO INTO USEFUL NOTES

- Review and edit the transcript
- Generate Executive, Key Points, or Action Items summaries
- Ask questions about one note at a time
- Create custom summary formats
- Search titles, transcripts, summaries, and tags
- Use AI Search to broaden a search when exact words are missing
- Share note text and recordings with other apps

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

- No LocalNote account
- No LocalNote cloud-notes backend
- Recordings, transcripts, summaries, tags, and answers stay on your device unless you choose to share them
- Apple speech and on-device language technologies do the processing; feature availability depends on compatible devices and required downloaded assets
