CALENDARS & MEETING REMINDERS Choose Apple calendars, including synced Google accounts, for optional meeting reminders. Recording starts only when you choose Record. Synopsule turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a private transcription studio. Record any conversation, see a live transcript as you talk, and when you stop, see who said what - all on your device. Everything runs locally by default. Your audio never gets uploaded. RECORD ON iPHONE OR APPLE WATCH Tap record on iPhone for live transcription while you talk. Start from Apple Watch when your phone is not in hand, pause or resume, add markers, and send the saved recording to your paired iPhone for local processing. TRANSCRIBES LOCALLY WITH WHISPER OpenAI's open-source Whisper model runs entirely on your iPhone, optimized for Apple silicon. It transcribes 100 spoken languages: choose one or let Automatic detect it, and optionally translate the speech into English. Accuracy is best for widely spoken languages and larger models. Synopsule itself is available in 41 languages. LABELS AND RECOGNIZES SPEAKERS When a recording finishes, Synopsule figures out who said which line and assigns colored speaker labels on device. Name speakers and reuse saved voices across recordings. Voiceprints stay on your iPhone. NOTES AND FLAGS, ANCHORED IN TIME Jot notes while you record or read. Each note is pinned to the moment, so tap to seek straight back, and your notes can feed into the AI summary as context. OPTIONAL AI SUMMARIES, ON YOUR TERMS Press Summarize, pick a template, and get a structured, speaker-aware recap with action items and open follow-ups. Then choose where it runs: - Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key. Transcript text goes directly to that provider. - On an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone, summarize on-device when available. - Or subscribe to Synopsule Pro and run summaries without managing your own key. Synopsule names the destination and asks consent before any text leaves your phone. Your audio is never sent anywhere - only transcript text, only when you ask. SEARCH EVERYTHING Full-text search runs across every transcript. EXPORT ANYWHERE Export to Markdown, Word (.docx), plain text, SRT and VTT subtitles, or interactive HTML. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY - iPhone microphone audio is captured and transcribed on your iPhone. - Apple Watch recordings are stored locally on the Watch until transferred to your paired iPhone for on-device processing. - Transcripts live in protected app storage. Delete any recording whenever you want. - No ads and no cross-app tracking. Optional anonymous product analytics can be turned off in Settings. SYNOPSULE PRO (OPTIONAL) Subscribe monthly ($9.99) or yearly ($99.99) to run AI summaries without managing your own API key. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel any time in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. The same subscription works on Synopsule for Mac. Requires iOS 17 or later. Apple Watch recording requires watchOS 26 or later and a paired iPhone. Read the full privacy policy at synopsule.com/privacy.
