About

MinuteONE

Transcribe meetings, lectures, and interviews on your iPhone with no internet connection and no subscription. Your first 10 transcriptions are free. After that, one purchase unlocks MinuteONE for good. Everything runs on the phone. MinuteONE uses Apple's on-device speech recognition and Apple Intelligence, so it works in Airplane Mode, in a building with no signal, or on a spare iPhone with no SIM card. There is no MinuteONE server, so your audio has nowhere to go and there is nothing for us to collect. HOW IT WORKS Tap record and the words appear on screen as people speak. When you stop, on-device AI writes a title, a short summary, action items with owners and deadlines, and the decisions that were made. Keep the transcript, export a report, or save the original audio file. IMPORT AUDIO AND VIDEO Already have a recording? Import audio from Files, or video from Files or Photos. MinuteONE pulls out the audio and transcribes it on the device. Audio: M4A, MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, CAF. Video: MP4, MOV, and other formats iOS can play. TRANSCRIPTS YOU CAN READ Transcripts come out as conversational turns with timestamps, with stutters and duplicated lines cleaned up. Play the recording back and the transcript highlights along with it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN MinuteONE has no accounts and no servers. Nothing you record is uploaded or used to train anything. The live transcript is hidden from the app switcher. TOOLS - Export PDF, Markdown, or plain text reports - Save the original audio file - Send action items to Reminders - Search, filter, and tag your meeting library - Get an alert if you forget a recording is running - Optional iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac PRICING Download free and use every feature for your first 10 transcriptions. Live recordings and imported files both count. Failed transcriptions don't. Then unlock MinuteONE permanently with a single $4.99 purchase (US price; other regions vary). One unlock covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No subscription, no monthly fee, no premium tier. Buying the unlock needs a connection. Once Apple's on-device speech recognition and Apple Intelligence are set up on your device, recording, transcription, and summaries don't. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone 15 Pro or later, iPad with M1 or later, or Apple silicon Mac - iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later - Apple Intelligence must be enabled for summaries, action items, and decisions

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MinuteONE at none against FirePlayer's shown. FirePlayer's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
