Your private conversation memory. Record. Ask what was said. Hear it again. Transcribed on your device. Free to start, no account needed. Press Record and put your phone down. Meetly works out the language and who spoke, then keeps a summary, the transcript and the original audio together. Later, find the decision, the quote or the action item, and replay the exact words. For client calls, interviews, lectures, one-to-ones and the ideas you say out loud, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Free and Pro • Free: up to 5 conversations, up to 25 minutes each. • Meetly Pro: more conversations, recordings with no length limit, up to 300 hours of summaries a month and more AI features. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe. Private by design • Stays on your device: recording, transcription and speaker recognition. Works offline after a one-time model download. • Only if you turn it on: cloud summaries, which send transcript text, never audio.

Depending on the connection mode, Connect AI may store encrypted conversation data. • Record with the knowledge and permission of the people involved.

Works with Claude and ChatGPT Connect Meetly to Claude or ChatGPT in one tap, then ask about any conversation: turn a client call into a follow-up, a brainstorm into a brief, or a product discussion into a spec.
