About
Nova Record turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a private conversation recorder with on-device AI transcription. Your audio and transcripts never leave your device — no accounts, no cloud processing, no tracking.
RECORD ANYWHERE
• One-tap recording on iPhone, Apple Watch, Control Center, Lock Screen and Action button
• Live Activity with timer and controls in the Dynamic Island
• External microphone support with input selection
• Recordings from your watch transfer to your iPhone automatically
• While your iPhone is recording, the watch becomes a remote: mark a moment, pause, stop
TRANSCRIBE OFFLINE
• Fast on-device transcription in many languages
• Choose between the system speech engine and Whisper models (tiny to large) — downloaded once, then fully offline
• Speaker detection separates who said what
• Tap any sentence to jump playback to that moment
NOVA INTELLIGENCE (subscription)
• Summarise a conversation into key points
• Clean up the wording without filler words — with your own glossary for technical terms
• Title suggestions for your recordings
• Semantic search: find transcripts by meaning rather than keywords, by voice from your Apple Watch or iPhone (€3.49/year, auto-renews, cancel anytime in Settings)
FIND & SHARE
• Full-text search across all transcripts, plus Spotlight integration
• Export as text, Markdown, SRT subtitles, JSON or PDF
• Share audio and transcripts via AirDrop, Files and more
• Optional iCloud sync and collaboration — data stays in your private iCloud
• Trash: deleted recordings wait 30 days before they are gone for good
AUTOMATE
• Deep Shortcuts integration: start/stop recording, transcribe, search, export and chain your own workflows with Siri
PRIVACY FIRST

What's New in Nova Record
1.3.2
November 1, 2026
An incoming call no longer stops your recording while it rings. If the recording is interrupted, for example because you answer, Nova Record continues it on its own afterwards – at the latest when you open the app again – and marks the spot. If you paused the recording yourself, it stays paused.
