Minute AI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Minute is a calm, privacy-first voice notes app for people who want transcripts and structured notes without handing their audio to the cloud. Now available in English, German and Spanish! Everything runs on your device. Recording, transcription, speaker detection, and analysis all happen locally. No accounts. No background uploads. No βtrust usβ disclaimers. You record openly, in meetings, in person with clients, or on the move. Minute helps turn spoken information into something structured and usable, without changing how you work. Designed for how you actually work Minute adapts to you rather than forcing everything into raw text Choose how you work: lawyer, project manager, engineer Use templates to shape notes into something meaningful Organise recordings into projects, not endless lists Capture ideas quickly and structure them later On-device AI, without the jargon Under the hood, Minute uses local speech and language models. You donβt need to care about their names. Instead, you choose what matters: Faster vs more accurate transcription Lightweight vs deeper analysis Battery-friendly vs thorough The trade-offs are clear. The implementation details stay out of the way. Built for trust, not surveillance Minute does not integrate with Teams or Zoom. It does not silently record calls. It does not announce itself because it isnβt inside the meeting platform. Itβs designed to be used deliberately and openly, alongside non-recorded calls or in-person conversations, with consent where appropriate. Trust is a design choice, not a checkbox. Platform support iOS 26+ macOS 15+ watchOS 26+ Key features Local voice recording and playback On-device transcription with adjustable speed and accuracy Speaker detection processed locally Structured templates instead of raw transcript dumps Matter-based organisation Optional local analysis for categorisation and insight iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch support No accounts, no ads, no tracking If you want, I can also produce a shorter App Store version and a longer website version from this same updated copy.

Verdict
