While listening, it records continuously — but anything you don't save is discarded, oldest first. When you want to keep something, tap the button, and the audio leading up to that moment becomes a clip. ■ From your Apple Watch A button on your wrist, a complication on your watch face, or Double Tap. Save without interrupting the conversation. ■ Choose your microphone Apple Watch or iPhone. Use iPhone to go easy on battery, or Watch when you're traveling light. ■ On-device transcription Transcribe saved clips right away. Audio and text never leave your device. ■ Review with a waveform See where a song starts or where someone is speaking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChronoNote at none against AiScriber's 3. ChronoNote also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
