Verba turns any conversation into a speaker-labeled transcript, a structured summary, and a searchable memory you can ask questions about — and none of it ever leaves your iPhone. Most meeting apps upload your audio to the cloud. Verba doesn't. Recording, transcription, speaker identification, summaries, search, and AI answers all run on-device using Apple Intelligence. It works in airplane mode. There is no account, no server, and no upload. WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS Built for people who cannot send audio to the cloud: therapists, lawyers, clinicians, journalists, consultants — anyone who handles confidential conversations. Because the audio physically never leaves the device, Verba supports your HIPAA and GDPR obligations by construction, not by promise. RECORD AND TRANSCRIBE • Live transcription with real-time speaker labels • Rename speakers ("Speaker 2" → "Ana") after the meeting • Drop markers on important moments while recording • Start hands-free with Siri, Shortcuts, or the Action Button • Live Activity shows recording status on your Lock Screen • Recording keeps running while the screen is locked UNDERSTAND EVERY MEETING • Automatic structured summary: title, TL;DR, key decisions, and action items • Action items carry an owner and due date — turn them into Reminders or Calendar events in one tap • Tap any transcript line to jump to that moment ASK YOUR MEETINGS ANYTHING • Chat with one meeting, a folder, or your entire history • "What did we decide about the budget?" — answers cite the exact speaker and moment • Tap a citation to jump straight to the source • Dictate questions instead of typing YOUR PRIVATE LIBRARY • Semantic search: find moments by meaning, not just keywords • Organize meetings and notes into folders • Write text notes, or paste notes in from other apps • Export is always your action — nothing syncs anywhere PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All processing on-device — works fully offline, even in airplane mode • Encrypted local storage • No account, no sign-up, no tracking, no analytics • App Privacy label: "Data Not Collected" FREE AND PRO Free forever: unlimited written notes, 60 minutes of transcription, and 5 AI questions per day. Verba Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription — that unlocks unlimited recording, transcription, and AI questions. Pay once, yours forever. REQUIREMENTS Verba's AI features require iOS 26 or later on an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) with Apple Intelligence enabled. On other devices, summaries and Q&A show a clear unavailable state. Verba — your meetings, remembered. Privately.
