Record a lecture. Get a summary, flashcards, and a quiz in seconds. No subscription — and no account needed to start. Humble Zen is the AI note app I wanted to exist. I built it because I was tired of paying $10-20 every month for note apps that gave me a transcript and bland summary I never actually used. Humble Zen actually helps you remember, understand, and share what you recorded — without charging you every month. TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Open the app and start recording. No sign-up wall, no email required. Create a free account only when you want your notes backed up or shared. CAPTURE ANYTHING • Record a lecture, meeting, voice memo, or podcast • Import an audio file • Paste a YouTube URL • Drop in a PDF TURN IT INTO SOMETHING YOU CAN USE • Clear AI summaries • Flashcards for active recall • Quizzes built from your material • A visual one-page infographic • Chat with your notes • Semantic search across everything you've captured Most note apps help you capture more. Humble Zen helps you understand what you captured. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Transcription runs directly on your iPhone using an embedded AI model, so your audio does not need to be uploaded for transcription. No waiting on a server. No sending your recordings off just to get words on a screen. SHARE WITH ANYONE Turn any note into a shareable web page with a real link. Send it to your study group, your team, or anyone else. They can open the transcript, summary, flashcards, and quiz in a browser without creating an account.

If you record things you want to remember, understand, study, or share, Humble Zen was made for you.
