Kurn is an AI meeting note taker that records, transcribes and summarizes your meetings, classes and interviews — privately, on your iPhone. No bot joins your call, no account is needed, and your recordings stay on your device by default. RECORD ANYTHING - Record in-person meetings, lectures, interviews and voice notes, in one or more segments. - Start, pause and stop from the app, the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts, or your Apple Watch. - Keep recording while you use other apps: the recorder shrinks to a mini bar. TRANSCRIBE AUDIO TO TEXT - On-device speech-to-text with Apple's Speech framework, a multilingual on-device model, or Whisper running locally on your iPhone. - Optional cloud transcription with your own OpenAI, Groq or ElevenLabs API key. - Speaker identification shows who said what, and suggests the name of a voice you have already named in another meeting. - Long transcriptions resume where they left off if the app is interrupted. AI SUMMARIES AND ACTION ITEMS - Structured summaries with decisions, action items and key points — general, standup, interview or outline templates, or your own. - Runs on Apple Intelligence on supported devices, or on a provider you choose with your own API key. - Ask questions about one meeting or your whole library and get answers with tappable timestamps. - Attach PDFs as reference material, create documents from several meetings, and listen to summaries read aloud. ORGANIZE AND SHARE - Folders, Smart Folders, tags, favorites and an archive, with search across every transcript. - Export summaries and transcripts as PDF, Word, Markdown, Obsidian, HTML or plain text. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Recordings and transcripts are stored on your device, encrypted at rest and locked with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. - Nothing leaves your iPhone unless you turn on a cloud provider. - No tracking, no analytics, no ads and no account. FREE AND OPEN SOURCE - Free to download and use, with no subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no ads. - The complete source code is public on GitHub under the MIT license, so anyone can check how your recordings are handled. - Cloud providers are optional and bill you directly through your own API key; Kurn adds nothing on top. ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN - Full VoiceOver support in the app, on Apple Watch and in the Live Activity. - Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and status that never relies on color alone. Kurn is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Simplified Chinese, and transcribes dozens of languages.
