About

Kurn

Features
Read full description

Kurn is a local-first app for recording meetings, transcribing audio, identifying speakers, and generating structured AI summaries — built so your recordings stay on your device by default. RECORD AND TRANSCRIBE - Record meetings in one or more segments, with pause, resume, and stop controls from the app, the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, or your Apple Watch. - Transcribe on device with Apple's Speech framework or an on-device multilingual model, or optionally use a cloud Whisper-compatible API for longer recordings. - Automatic speaker diarization tells you who said what, with editable speaker names. - An opt-in live transcription preview shows a rolling draft while you record. - Long transcriptions resume automatically if the app is backgrounded or interrupted, continuing from where they left off instead of starting over. UNDERSTAND YOUR MEETINGS - Structured, template-driven AI summaries — general, standup, or interview formats, or your own custom template. - Search meetings and filter by date, tags, status, or duration. - Organize meetings into folders, Smart Folders, favorites, and an archive. - Tag meetings manually or with optional AI-suggested tags. - Ask questions about a single meeting or across your whole library, with cited, tappable timestamps that jump straight to that moment in the transcript. ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN - Full VoiceOver support throughout the app, the Watch companion, and the Lock Screen / Dynamic Island Live Activity. - Dynamic Type: text scales with your preferred reading size. - Respects Reduce Motion, and never relies on color alone to show status. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Recordings and meeting data are stored on your device, encrypted at rest, and gated behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. - Network requests only happen if you choose cloud transcription or an AI summary provider — everything else runs entirely on device. - No tracking, no analytics, no accounts required. Kurn's UI is available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Simplified Chinese. Transcription supports every language Whisper recognizes.
