## What is NoteMate?

NoteMate turns a recorded lecture into notes, flashcards and a quiz — so the hour you spent listening becomes something you can actually revise from.

No bot joins your call. No setup. Press record in the lecture hall, a seminar, or a meeting — or import a recording from Voice Memos or any app — and NoteMate does the rest.

THE LEARNING LOOP

1. Transcript
Accurate transcription with speaker labels and timestamps. Watch it appear live while you record, then search it later for the one thing you half-remember.

2. Notes
Six summary modes, so the notes match the recording: Lecture, Notes, Action Items, Interview, Standup and Brainstorm. Lecture mode breaks a session into sections you can revise from.

3. Flashcards
A deck built from your notes or the full transcript, ready to flip through on the bus. Edit any card — regenerate the deck later and your edits are kept.

4. Quiz
Multiple-choice questions from the same lecture, with an explanation for every answer, including the wrong ones. A mistake teaches you something instead of just marking you down.

SEND IT WHERE YOU WORK
Export to Notion, Google Drive, PDF, Word, Markdown, plain text, CSV or email. Your notes end up in the system you already use, not locked in another app.

MADE FOR HOW STUDENTS ACTUALLY STUDY
- Record on your phone, no bot on the attendee list, no recording platform required
- Works for in-person lectures, seminars, tutorials and group meetings — anything you can hear
- Background recording keeps going when you switch apps or lock your phone
- Share Extension imports audio from Voice Memos, Files or any other app
- Push notification when your notes are ready
- Home screen widgets and iPad support

If you find it hard to listen and write at the same time — dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, or just a fast lecturer — NoteMate records so you can pay attention, and gives you the notes afterwards.

FREE TO START
The free plan includes 180 minutes of transcription a month, plus one flashcard deck and one quiz each month. No card required. The Academic Year plan is one payment covering both semesters, with unlimited recording, unlimited flashcards and quizzes, every summary mode and every export.

PRIVACY
Audio recordings are deleted automatically after transcription — within 24 hours on the free plan and 7 days on paid plans. Your transcripts and notes stay. Recordings are processed securely and you can delete your data at any time.

Record your next lecture. Revise from it tonight.

### 4/5 — Perfect for heavy lectures

*2026-10-21*

I love Notemate! I used to struggle keeping up with the professor but now i just record it and the transcript is super clean. the auto-summary helps me prep for exams way faster than before.

### 5/5 — Perfect for messy lectures

*2026-10-19*

Honestly such a lifesaver during my biology seminars. I usually struggle to keep up with the professor's speed but this just catches everything and turns my messy thoughts into organized points. Saved me hours of re-listening to recordings!

### 5/5 — Solid for meeting minutes

*2026-10-08*

Actually used this for a club meeting to keep track of our budget discussion. It did a great job identifying the action items which is exactly what we needed. Highly recommend for any student org.

### 4/5 — Reliable for long talks

*2026-10-08*

Had a two hour philosophy lecture and it didn't crash or lag once. The resulting notes were organized and actually captured the nuances of the debate. Very happy with the performance so far.

### 5/5 — Clear and concise notes

*2026-10-07*

I like that it doesn't just give a transcript but actually tries to understand the context. The headings it generates make a lot of sense for the way my history professor organizes his lectures.

### 4/5 — No more hand cramps

*2026-10-06*

My hands used to hurt so much after a full day of law school lectures. This has been a total game changer for my physical comfort. I just sit back, listen, and let the tech do the heavy lifting.

### 5/5 — Helps with my dyslexia

*2026-10-06*

Taking notes while listening is really hard for me because of my dyslexia. This lets me focus entirely on what the teacher is saying instead of stressing about spelling things correctly in my notebook.

### 5/5 — Game changer for seminars

*2026-10-05*

It captures everything even when the professor speaks really fast. The formatting is clean and I love how it highlights key points without me having to tap my screen every five seconds.

### 5/5 — Super helpful for history

*2026-10-05*

I used this during my long history lecture yesterday and the way it broke down the dates and events into summaries was amazing. Saved me so much time trying to re-listen to the whole recording.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-05

- Folders for your modules: choose a folder on the record screen before you start, and new lectures file themselves. You can also select several recordings and move them in one go.
- Never miss a lecture: set a reminder for your next one from the record screen, and we'll nudge you 5 minutes before it starts.
- Upgrading takes fewer taps: the plan buttons now open Apple's payment sheet straight away. Restore purchases sits on the same page.
- Recordings hold on through a bad connection. If your signal drops mid-upload, the upload waits and carries on when you're back online.
- No more waiting on notes that can't be made: if you tap Stop before 10 seconds, we'll check that you meant to.
- A tidier record screen, with all your settings on one row.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-01

Share what you've learned, and get your notes sooner.

- Share any summary with one link, with the notes, flashcards and quiz included. Coursemates can open it without an account.
- Lock your phone as the lecture ends and the upload still starts, so your notes are ready sooner instead of waiting until you next open the app.
- Discard now really discards. If you stop and discard a recording in the same moment, it no longer turns up as a lecture anyway.
- Flashcards are a fixed size with just the answer on the back, so they're quicker to revise from.
- On your phone, one button switches between your summaries instead of a squeezed row of chips.
- A new settings gear on each recording, with its folder shown under the title. Move a lecture into a folder in one tap.
- Live preview now understands 32 languages, up from 18, including Korean, Russian and Urdu.
- Buying Premium is more reliable. A purchase made while signed out or offline is added to your account once you're back, and if it can't be, the app tells you why.
