PERFECT FOR Use it for work meetings when you need a clean summary with decisions, action items, and chapter markers you can tap to jump to the right moment. Capture lectures and study sessions, then search the transcript for the part you need. Save quick voice memos, interviews, and spoken reminders, pause when interrupted, and pick up where you left off. Import audio you already have, open the latest recording from Siri or Shortcuts, or start a recording from Control Center or a Lock Screen widget when you need to capture something right away. WHAT'S INSIDE Tap the giant record button to start in one move, then watch the live meter and Now Recording pill so you always know capture is active. Pause or resume during a session, discard an accidental take with confirmation, and keep recording when the app is in the background or your screen is locked. Recent recordings stay close at hand on the Home screen, and the full library opens in a sheet with folder filters, search, tags, row sharing, and a direct Save to Files action. Open any recording in the review screen to play it back with a real waveform, drag to scrub, skip back or forward, restart, or change playback speed. Tap transcript lines to seek, search inside the transcript, rename a recording, move it to a folder, add tags, pin bookmark notes to the current moment, trim audio, share the recording, export a brief as a document, or save action items to Reminders or Calendar. Transcription runs on device and saves for instant reopening later. The AI Meeting Brief also runs on device and can create a short title, a clear summary, decisions, action items, and chapter timestamps. If the brief misses something, you can run it again. When Apple Intelligence is not available, you still get recording, playback, and transcript features. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT This app is built for fast capture first, then clear review. You can go from one tap to recording, then from audio to transcript, searchable notes, and a meeting brief on the same iPhone. Your audio stays on your device, and your saved transcripts and briefs reopen quickly without making you wait again. Some features are available with Pro, including Studio recording, lossless recording, locking recordings with Face ID, and unlimited brief re-runs. Document export has a free daily limit before Pro. Microphone access is needed to record, access is needed for transcripts, and calendar access is only needed if you choose to send action items to Calendar or Reminders. Record the moment, find the important part fast, and keep every memo easier to review. Terms of Use (EULA) - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
