Debrief

Debrief turns your meetings into decisions and a to-do list — automatically. Record a meeting and watch it transcribe live, right on your device. When you stop, Debrief writes a clean summary, pulls out the decisions that were made, and builds your action items — each with an owner, a due date, and the exact quote it came from. No more scrambling to remember who agreed to what. Everything happens on your iPhone. Transcription uses Apple's on-device speech recognition, and your notes, decisions, and action items are generated on-device too — so your conversations stay private, nothing is uploaded, and it works offline. RECORD OR PASTE • Record live with a running transcript and one-tap markers for decisions, actions, and questions • Already have a transcript from Zoom or Krisp? Paste it and get the same debrief • Plan meetings ahead and walk in with a prep brief LEAVE WITH A PLAN • A ten-second summary of what happened • The decisions that were settled • Your action items — normalized, dated, and sourced • What everyone else owes you • A ready-to-send follow-up message in your preferred tone STAY ON TOP OF FOLLOW-UPS • Every commitment in one place, grouped by "I owe," "Waiting on," "Unclear," and "Done" • Overdue items surface first; flag anything for attention • Draft a friendly nudge for what others owe you • Export action items straight to Apple Reminders REMEMBER EVERYTHING • Per-person and per-project history • "What changed?" summaries that keep projects current from your meetings, not status updates • Mark sensitive meetings confidential — they stay on your device MAKE IT YOURS • Four themes, light/dark, and three display typefaces • Choose your transcription language, follow-up tone, and reminders • Export everything to JSON anytime Private by design. On-device only. No account, no tracking, no ads. Note: Please make sure everyone present consents to being recorded. Recording laws vary by location.
