Record any meeting, lecture or interview and get a summary, the decisions and action items with owners — no bot joins your call. Put the phone on the table, tap record, and watch the transcript appear live. Speech becomes text as people talk, split by speaker. When you stop, the notes are ready: a short summary, decisions, action items with an owner and a due date, and the topics worth remembering, with the full transcript underneath so you can check any of it. WHAT YOU HAVE WHEN THE MEETING ENDS • A short summary of what was discussed • The decisions, stated plainly • Action items with an owner and a due date • Key points and follow-up meetings • A transcript split by speaker, line by line, with timestamps WHO SAID WHAT Speakers are separated automatically. When people call each other by name, the app catches it and labels the transcript. Name a speaker once and their voice is recognised in later meetings; voiceprints stay on this iPhone. Your own corrections always win — re-analysing a recording never overwrites them. ASK THE MEETING Not sure what you agreed to? Ask. "What was assigned to me?" "Why did we push the deadline?" Every answer points to the line in the transcript it rests on, so you can read it yourself instead of trusting the summary. You can also ask across all of your meetings and search them from the library. STRAIGHT INTO YOUR TO-DO LIST Action items go to Reminders in one tap, due date included. Follow-up meetings become Calendar events. No copy and paste. SHARE THE NOTES Copy the text, share it as a .txt file or a PDF, export subtitles as .srt, or email each participant their part. RECORDING KEEPS GOING Recording continues with the screen off and the app in the background. The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show it is still running. Start and stop from Apple Watch or the Home Screen widget. LANGUAGES Transcribes 60 languages and detects the language on its own. The app itself is available in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian and Arabic. On your Home Screen the app is called Ses Notu. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS No sign-up, no email, no minute bundles and no ads. Your recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored on your device. SES NOTU PRO Your first three recordings are included; for every friend who uses your invite code you both get one more. Starting new recordings after that needs Ses Notu Pro, monthly or yearly. When you stop subscribing, everything you already recorded stays yours: transcripts, summaries and chat keep working. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Audio is sent to Soniox to be transcribed, and the transcript to Google Gemini for the summary and chat. The app does not store the audio.
