Voice Notes transcribes your voice in real time, entirely on your iPhone — no internet, no cloud, no account required. Open the app. Tap record. Your words appear on screen as you speak, powered by AI running directly on your device. When you stop, the transcript is saved locally. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is sent anywhere. **ON YOUR DEVICE, ALWAYS** The AI model runs on your iPhone. Your audio never touches a server — not ours, not anyone else's. This matters for sensitive meetings, private thoughts, medical notes, legal conversations, creative work you're not ready to share, or anything you'd rather keep to yourself. **REAL-TIME TRANSCRIPTION** Words appear as you speak. No waiting, no uploading, no processing later. **SPEAKER IDENTIFICATION** In a conversation? Voice Notes automatically labels who's talking so you know exactly who said what. **WORKS OFFLINE** No internet required. Record anywhere — on a plane, in a basement, at a remote site. **ONE-TIME PURCHASE** $4.99. No subscription. No renewal. No tier that expires. Buy it once and it's yours forever. **PRIVATE BY DESIGN** No analytics. No tracking. No account. We don't collect data because we never receive it — the app never connects to any server.
