Record sermons, transcribe on your iPhone, and keep notes tied to the moments that matter with Sermon Notes. Built for one job: when the preaching starts, you press record — and it's safe. Audio is saved to your phone minute by minute as you record, helping preserve what you have captured if an interruption happens. RECORD & KEEP • Reliable capture — audio is saved to your phone in one-minute segments to help protect what you have recorded • Record offline — no signal needed in the sanctuary • Every sermon in one library — dated, titled, ready to replay TRANSCRIBED ON YOUR IPHONE • Full transcription happens on your device — the audio never leaves your phone • Transcribe offline after downloading Apple's speech model for your chosen language NOTES LOCKED TO THE MOMENT • Drop a timestamped note while recording or listening • Tap a note to jump straight back to that moment in the audio • Scripture references become links — tap "Philippians 4:13" in a note to open the verse TAKE IT ANYWHERE • Export to PDF, Word, Markdown, or plain text — clean documents that open anywhere • Share the original audio, untouched PRIVATE BY DESIGN Recording audio and your notes stay on your phone unless you choose to export or share them. Transcription happens on-device. If you enable Transcript Polish & Naming, transcript text is sent through our server to OpenAI to correct misheard words and suggest titles. Your church and denomination from setup provide context for corrections; naming also uses recording length and word count. This optional feature requires internet and can be turned off in Profile → AI & Privacy. Our server does not store transcript text. See our Privacy Policy for processing and retention details.
