Voicenote Notes turns your spoken thoughts into structured, actionable notes — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No server. No one listening. RECORD. TRANSCRIBE. STRUCTURE. — ALL ON DEVICE. Speak freely for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. Apple's Speech framework transcribes your words live as you speak. When you stop, Foundation Models structures the transcript into a clean note: title, summary, bullet decisions, action items with owners and deadlines, and follow-up questions. Done in under 15 seconds — without an internet connection. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T USE CLOUD AI Otter.ai, Fireflies, and every other AI notes tool sends your audio to their servers. For doctors, lawyers, therapists, and consultants, that's a deal-breaker. Voicenote Notes processes everything on your device using Apple's on-device Speech Framework. Your client conversations stay on your device. Always. STRUCTURED NOTES, NOT RAW AUDIO Every recording becomes: a clear title · a one-paragraph summary · decisions made · action items with owners and due dates · follow-up questions. Push action items to Apple Reminders in one tap. VOICE NOTE TEMPLATES Choose a template before you record — Meeting Recap, Brainstorm, Client Call, SOAP Note — and Foundation Models adjusts its structuring to match. A Meeting Recap extracts attendees and decisions; a SOAP Note extracts clinical fields. All on-device, all private. FIND ANYTHING, INSTANTLY Full-text search across every transcript and every structured field. A daily morning digest recaps all your prior-day recordings, compiled on-device overnight. Tap any word in a transcript to seek directly to that moment in the audio. SIRI, SHORTCUTS, CONTROL CENTER "Start a voice note in Voicenote Notes" — works from Siri, the Action Button, or Control Center without unlocking your phone. "Show my open action items" and "What did I decide yesterday?" return live results directly in Siri. WHAT'S FREE: 5 recordings/month · live on-device transcription · raw transcript view · audio playback · basic search VOICENOTE NOTES PRO: Unlimited recordings · AI structuring (title + summary + decisions + action items + follow-ups) · voice note templates · Reminders sync · daily digest · WidgetKit widgets · App Intents · Markdown/PDF export · backlink detection · folder organization · CloudKit sync across devices Your words never leave your iPhone. No analytics. No ads. No exceptions. Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, accent, and background noise. Always review the transcript before relying on extracted action items for important decisions.
