The live AI note taker. Tap record at the start of your meeting, class, or interview. Superscribe writes a transcript as people talk, names each speaker, and turns the conversation into a summary and outline you can browse. Chat and get answers that link to the key moments. Everything links back to the audio so you can check the app's work: tap any word in the transcript, or outline item to jump to that moment. Every chat answer links back to the relevant moments in the recording — tap any of them to play back and hear it for yourself. - Live transcription: words appear on screen the moment they're spoken. Read along as you record, and never lose your place. - Live speaker identification: Superscribe figures out who's talking from the context of the conversation. Fix any mistakes with a tap — no more "Speaker 1, Speaker 2" guessing games. - Live sync across devices: start recording on your iPhone, watch the transcript come in on your iPad, pick it up on the web later. Everything stays in sync. - Tappable transcripts: tap any word to jump straight to that moment in the recording. - Outlines that link to the audio: a short summary plus a section-by-section outline of what was discussed. Tap any section to play that part of the recording. - AI chat with citations: ask follow-up questions about what was said. Every answer points back to the moments in the audio it came from. Built for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass: feels at home on your device. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brightenlabs.app/privacy/

SOAP Notes: Massage Client Log keeps your client records where they belong: on your own phone, encrypted, and owned by you. Charts, session notes, intake forms and consent signatures, with no account, no cloud and no monthly fee. PAY ONCE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Download free and run your first 3 clients with every feature unlocked: unlimited SOAP notes, body charts, intake versions and signatures. A single one-time purchase of US$24.99 unlocks unlimited clients. There is no subscription, and the parts that matter most are never behind a paywall: viewing your records, search, PDF and CSV export, and encrypted backup are always free. Your clinical history can never be held hostage to a lapsed payment. BUILT FOR WORKING THERAPISTS - SOAP charting: Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan, plus session date, duration and modality - Body charts: mark pain, tension and trigger points on front and back views, right on the note - Intake and health history: versioned forms, so updates never overwrite what a client signed - Consent signatures: captured on screen, stored with the intake - Fast search across clients, notes and addenda RECORDS YOUR BOARD WOULD RESPECT Finalized notes are locked. Corrections become dated addenda, with the original text and timestamps preserved, and every record is hash-chained so tampering is evident. Pick your state to see plain-language record-retention guidance, with a conservative adjustable default where no profile exists yet. Guidance only, never legal advice: always verify with your board. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is stored only on your device, encrypted with SQLCipher. The app opens behind a PIN with optional Face ID unlock, hides its content in the app switcher, and asks you to re-authenticate before exporting, backing up or deleting. Backups are encrypted files you control. We run no servers for your data and could not read your notes if we wanted to. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO No booking, no payments, no insurance billing, no marketing suite. This is a records tool that does one job properly. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose or treat, and does not claim HIPAA compliance: many cash-pay solo therapists are not covered entities, and your obligations depend on your practice. What the app gives you is encryption, integrity and ownership. SOAP Notes: Massage Client Log is an independent tool from RiverMap Learning.
