You talk. Meetly remembers. Meetly is an AI voice recorder and your private second brain for conversations: meetings, video calls, interviews, lectures and your own spoken thoughts. Each recording becomes meeting notes: a searchable transcript, a summary and action items, with the original audio to replay the exact moment. Go back to any conversation and recover what was decided and why. Transcription runs on your device. Record with everyone's knowledge and permission. The app interface is in English. RECORD PRIVATELY. NO BOT. • Recording, transcription and speaker recognition stay on your device. • Works offline after a one-time model download. • No meeting bot joins. On Mac, record calls on Zoom, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and other calling apps, with everyone's permission. FIND IT AGAIN • A summary with key points, decisions and action items. • Search across every transcript, with replay of the original audio. • Your own notes beside each conversation, with photos, files and tagged people. • Find & Replace for transcripts, and your own instructions for summaries. • PDF export with speaker labels, and ZIP backup of your library. WHO SAID WHAT • Speaker labels on your device (experimental; accuracy varies). • Tag a voice once and Meetly recognizes it next time. ASK YOUR AI: 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. Other compatible AI apps can connect too. Available actions depend on your assistant. YOUR LANGUAGE Meetly detects the language first and picks the right model: English and 24 European languages, specialized models for Chinese and 22 Indian languages, and 50+ more. Availability varies by model. IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC. ONE MEMORY. Optional private iCloud sync keeps your conversations in step across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Audio sync is a separate choice. CONVERSATION INSIGHTS (BETA) On iPhone and iPad, see recurring topics, conversation types, who you talk with and each person's share of speaking time over 7 or 30 days. Insights are estimates based on transcripts and speaker labels. PRIVACY, IN DETAIL • Only if you turn it on: cloud summaries, which send transcript text, never audio. You can turn them off in Settings. • Only if you connect it: an AI assistant can read your library until you revoke access in Meetly. Depending on the connection mode, Connect AI may store encrypted conversation data. FREE TO START • Every feature is available on Free, with limits. Pro removes the limits. • The price is shown in the app before you subscribe. Meetly Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Connected AI services have their own features, limits and terms. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://getmeetly.ai/privacy

Some things don't happen on a schedule. Oil changes, descaling the coffee machine, calling your mom, replacing your toothbrush, backing up your laptop — nobody remembers to put these on a calendar, and a to-do list just makes you feel guilty for "forgetting" something that was never really due. Rounds is a simple answer: a list of the things you do occasionally, each showing how long it's been since you last did it. Tap to log it, and the counter resets. No schedules. No streaks. No red "OVERDUE" badges. Just an honest answer to "wait, when did I last do this?" SHARED WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Invite the people you live with, and everyone sees the same list — who logged what, and when. No more "did someone already do this?" or "I thought you did it." One shared source of truth, not five people guessing. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI "Hey Siri, log oil change in Rounds." Rounds works with Siri and Shortcuts on your iPhone or your Apple Watch, so you can log something the moment you actually do it — standing in the garage, not digging for your phone later trying to remember. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH See what's waited longest right on your wrist, and log it with a tap or a swipe. Add Rounds to your watch face as a complication, or find it in the Smart Stack. Your list syncs through iCloud, so the watch keeps up on its own. START WITH REAL CONTENT, NOT A BLANK LIST Every other app in this category hands you an empty list and calls it a day. Rounds ships curated starter kits for home, kitchen, car, health, people, and pets — sensible default intervals you can edit or ignore, so you're tracking something useful in the first minute, not building a list from scratch. GENTLE, NEVER GUILT-TRIPPING Soft reminder nudges if you want them. No streaks to break. No guilt for going quiet on something for six months. Rounds just tells you how long it's been — what you do with that is up to you. WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep the list glanceable without opening the app, with whatever has waited longest past its usual interval first. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Rounds Unlocked is a single purchase — no subscription, ever. Free trackers, widgets, reminders, and the Apple Watch app come with Rounds; unlocking adds household sharing, Siri/Shortcuts (on iPhone and Apple Watch), and every curated starter kit. Perfect for households managing shared upkeep together, or anyone who wants a lightweight memory aid without the pressure of another productivity system. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
