WristMark is the private meeting companion built for iPhone and a paired wrist app. Record from your wrist, mark critical moments with a simple gesture, transcribe offline, and summarize with optional on-device Local AI or the AI endpoint you configure. WRIST-FIRST RECORDING & TIMESTAMPS Meetings are not the place to fumble with your phone. Start recording from the wrist app with one tap. When something important is said, use a quick tap gesture to plant an instant timestamp — hands-free, screen-free, and silent. During playback on your iPhone, jump to any marked moment in a single tap. No scrubbing. No guessing. ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION — NO INTERNET REQUIRED Transcription runs on device using system speech technology. No audio is ever sent to a server by WristMark. Works fully offline. When the operating system improves on-device speech models, simply re-transcribe existing recordings to benefit from the latest accuracy gains. VOICE MEMO IMPORT No wrist recording available? No problem. Import recordings directly from Voice Memos using the system Share Sheet. Every imported recording gets full transcription, timeline view, and archiving — everything WristMark offers. MULTI-SEGMENT MERGE & ARCHIVE Interrupted by a call? Took a break mid-meeting? Recorded the afternoon session separately? WristMark lets you merge multiple audio segments into a single meeting archive. Organize by project or date. Clean, searchable, and friction-free. FASTER, MORE RESPONSIVE HOME Get back to your meetings sooner. WristMark shows the first part of your meeting history without waiting for the entire archive to load, keeps meeting actions responsive while the rest is recovered in the background, and makes the first recording easier to start when your home is empty. New meetings, summaries, and merged archives stay reflected in the home screen as they become available. LOCAL AI SUMMARIZATION Use the optional Local AI model for supported on-device summaries after downloading it in Settings, or connect any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint — your company's private LLM, a self-hosted model, or a third-party key you control. Local AI runs on your device. API requests are initiated by you and sent directly to your chosen endpoint. For summaries, transcript polish, or classification through a configured endpoint, WristMark sends transcript text, markers, meeting duration, and recording type. Audio files are not sent to the AI endpoint by WristMark, and meeting data never passes through WristMark's servers.
