What's New in Private AI Note Taker

2.2.8

October 2, 2026

Processing continues after you leave Basil. Transcription and speaker labels keep running in the background, and a Live Activity shows the progress. Basil tells you when the transcript is ready, and the summary finishes when you open the app. While you record, the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the timer and a Stop button. Tap Stop to save the meeting without opening Basil. Better meeting notes. Each summary starts with a one-line overview, then topics that say who said what. Action items name the person who will do each one.

Good Transcription App

I’ve been using this app for a little bit now and I can say it’s pretty good but definitely has room for improvement. Off the bat it is actually recording the audio which is super helpful and great to go back and listen to. However, you can scroll through the audio when playing back in the app. You have to listen to the whole thing. I like that out of the box you get a summary, the transcript, and action items. The summary and action items can be a little wonky. For example, one says, “Just, yeah.” I think with some tweaks and QOL improvements it can be great!
