Echo records your meetings and writes the notes for you. It works for online calls and in person conversations, transcribes in 100+ languages, and hands you a summary with the key points and action items when the meeting ends. Downloaded 360,000+ times by professionals, students, and teams.* Most note takers only handle online meetings. They send a bot into the call, it sits in the attendee list, and someone always asks what it is. Echo records from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch instead. Nothing to invite, nothing to set up. DOES ECHO WORK FOR IN PERSON MEETINGS? That is what it was built for. Client meetings, 1:1s, interviews, lectures, site visits. Phone on the table, one tap, and you can stop writing and start listening. CAN ECHO RECORD ZOOM, TEAMS, AND GOOGLE MEET CALLS? Yes, and any other call too. Echo records from your iPhone the same way it records a conversation in the room, so the platform does not matter and there is nothing to connect. WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN THE MEETING ENDS? The full transcript, a summary of what was discussed, the key points, and the action items. Enough to write the follow up email without opening the recording again. And when you need one specific thing out of an old meeting, just ask. Echo AI searches the recording for you: what the client agreed to, when the deadline is, who owns what. FEATURES Summaries that give you the decisions and the next steps Key points, so you can jump to the part that mattered Ask Echo AI for answers about any recording Recording on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, so you can start from whatever is closest Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and calls on any other platform Upload audio you already have and get it transcribed Transcription in 100+ languages Sharing by message, email, or anywhere else you work Folders and search across everything you have recorded Workspaces that keep your whole team on the same notes WHAT USERS SAY From App Store reviews in the US: "One touch and my 90min zoom meeting was summarized in seconds afterwards. This is a career changing tool for me." "If you're in a meeting, this is a must have tool. Never miss anything important!" "Really an amazing tool and very accurate transcriptions with great AI built in features." WHO USES ECHO Salespeople and consultants who need a record of what the client actually said Managers running back to back 1:1s Students recording lectures and seminars Teams that keep losing decisions between meetings IS ECHO FREE? Free to download, and you can record your first meeting straight away. Echo Plus adds longer recordings, unlimited notes, audio file uploads, and sharper summaries, and it starts with a free trial.

Sign in with Apple is optional. App is fully usable without signing in. HOW CALLORA WORKS Callora is an alarm app that places a real automated phone call to your verified phone number when you fail to dismiss the alarm. We use Twilio Programmable Voice to place the calls. TESTING WAKE-UP CALLS To test the phone-call feature: 1. Open the app and tap the + button on the home screen 2. Set an alarm for ~2 minutes from now 3. Enter and verify a phone number (an SMS code will be sent) 4. Toggle "Wake-Up Call" ON, select "Instant" for escalation 5. Save the alarm and lock the device 6. When the alarm fires, do not dismiss it — within seconds Callora will call the number you verified The call originates from +1 (978) 637-6854 (our Twilio number). PAYWALL / IN-APP PURCHASES Users get 5 free wake-up calls. After that, they can buy: - 12 calls for $4.99 (com.shunyatech.callora.calls12) - 50 calls for $12.99 (com.shunyatech.callora.calls50) Purchases are processed via Apple StoreKit and verified server-side via RevenueCat. Credits never expire and are not subscriptions. PHONE NUMBER PRIVACY Phone numbers are stored on the device (iOS Keychain) and temporarily on our server to schedule the alarm call. The number is held in our database only until the scheduled call fires, then it is used solely to place the call via Twilio. We also store a one-way hash of the number for fraud detection. The number is never shared with third parties beyond Twilio for call delivery. KNOWN BEHAVIOUR - Calls may be silenced by Do Not Disturb / Focus modes unless the user saves our number as a contact. There's an in-app prompt for this. - If the call fails to connect, an SMS fallback is sent to the same number. Contact: support@shunyatech.com.au
