LynxNote turns your meetings, conferences, and voice notes into accurate transcripts and summaries — powered by AI. FEATURES • High-accuracy Turkish + English transcription • Automatic AI summaries — short, detailed, and key points • Action item extraction • Translation • Fast server-assisted transcription — your recordings are never stored on our server • Background recording • Full dark mode and Dynamic Type support • Complete Turkish + English interface HOW IT WORKS LynxNote uses Sign in with Apple — we never collect your name or email. Transcription is server-assisted on every plan; there is no on-device transcription. Your recording passes through our server only for the duration of the job and is deleted from our server when processing finishes — it is never stored on our server. Transcription and AI processing run on service providers outside Türkiye (US/EU), which handle content under their own terms, as described in our Privacy Policy. Every new account starts with a one-time, non-expiring 30-minute transcription credit, all features unlocked — there is no recurring monthly free allowance beyond that. After you sign in and accept the Terms of Use, the app asks once, on a single screen, for your sharing permission to pass content to these providers; you can withdraw it at any time in Settings. Without it, the app can't process new recordings, but your existing notes stay readable, exportable and deletable. PLANS • Trial credit — one-time 30 minutes on account creation, all features unlocked • 5 Hours / month — 5 hours/month server-assisted transcription, all AI features • 10 Hours / month — 10 hours/month server-assisted transcription, all AI features; also available yearly (10 hours every month, billed yearly) • +1 Hour — one-time extra hour, never expires, used after your plan minutes run out AI features (summary, action items, translation, title) are subject to per-plan fair-use limits. The monthly budget covers roughly 17 hours of recordings on 5 Hours and roughly 28 hours on 10 Hours (monthly or yearly); the trial credit's budget covers about 4 hours. A daily limit also applies. When a limit is reached, that feature pauses until it resets — recording and transcription are unaffected. See Terms of Use. USE CASES • Business meetings • Lectures and class notes • Conferences and panel recordings • Interview documentation • Voice journals and idea capture PRIVACY On our server, your recording exists only in memory for the duration of processing — never written to disk, deleted once processing finishes. Common personal-data patterns (national ID numbers, IBANs, phone numbers, emails) are masked on a best-effort basis before reaching any AI provider. Your account is identified by a pseudonymous ID issued by Apple (not anonymous; purchases and usage counters are linked to it) — we never collect your name or email. Your notes stay on your device.
