LocalScribe turns conversations into structured notes — privately. Record any meeting, lecture, interview, or thought. LocalScribe transcribes it and writes a clean, organized summary with sections, decisions, and action items. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. The free tier runs 100% on your device — audio, transcription, summaries, and chat all stay on the Neural Engine using Apple's iOS 26 speech engine and Apple Intelligence. No accounts, no analytics, no upload. PREMIUM — TWO TIERS. For top accuracy in noisy rooms and tough accents, Premium adds cloud transcription (Deepgram Nova-3) and richer summaries (Claude Opus 4.8, with GPT-4o for everyday formats): • Starter — $14.99/month, 10 hours of cloud features • Pro — $34.99/month, 30 hours of cloud features On Premium, audio is sent to Deepgram for transcription and the transcript text is sent to Anthropic (and, for some formats, OpenAI) for the summary — none of these providers train on your data. Want a sensitive recording to stay fully on-device? Flip the per-recording "No-Cloud" toggle and it never leaves your phone. MANY SUMMARY STYLES — pick what fits your recording: • Clean Summary, Meeting Minutes, Executive Summary • Action-Item Summary, Decision Log, Follow-Up Email Draft • Q&A Format, Speaker-Labeled summaries, Timeline Notes • Study Notes and Flashcards (for students) • Clinical and behavioral-health note formats (drafts for licensed clinicians to review) • Word-for-Word Verbatim — plus templates for sales, legal, healthcare, teaching, and research. 20 LANGUAGES — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Swedish. CHAT WITH YOUR RECORDINGS. Ask "what did Sarah decide about the deadline?" — the AI reads the transcript and answers. SPEAKER LABELS. LocalScribe works out who's speaking and lets you tap a label to assign real names — corrected everywhere at once. REFERENCES & DIAGRAMS. Tap "Add References" and LocalScribe surfaces verified Wikipedia links for the things your recording mentioned, plus timeline and process diagrams drawn from the summary. CALENDAR INTEGRATION. See your upcoming meetings; tap one to start a recording auto-tagged with the title and attendees. EXPORT ANYWHERE. Share as Markdown, formatted PDF, editable Word (.rtf), or plain text. AirPrint supported. PDFs auto-mirror to iCloud Drive. WORKS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES. iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with an Apple Watch remote to start and stop recordings from your wrist. Recordings sync via iCloud, end-to-end encrypted by Apple. PRIVACY PROMISE: • Free tier: recording, transcription, summaries, and chat are always on-device. • Premium cloud features: audio is sent to Deepgram for transcription; transcript text is sent to Anthropic (Claude) and, for some summary formats, OpenAI (GPT-4o). None of these providers train on your data. The per-recording No-Cloud toggle keeps any recording fully on-device. • No analytics SDKs. No ads. No data brokers. No accounts. Free tier: 5 recordings per month, or 60 minutes of audio — whichever comes first. Resets on the 1st of each month. Premium: Starter $14.99/month (10 hours of cloud features) or Pro $34.99/month (30 hours). Cancel anytime through iOS Settings. Perfect for lawyers, therapists, clinicians, real-estate agents, sales teams, students, journalists, and researchers. Requires iOS 26. AI summaries and chat require a device that supports Apple Intelligence; recording and transcription work on any iOS 26 device.
