You paid for an iPhone with Apple Intelligence built in. Notetaker AI is the app that finally puts it to work. Record any conversation, meeting, interview, lecture, or voice note. In seconds, get a full transcription, then let Apple Foundation Models — running entirely on your device — correct the text, identify speakers, generate a summary, extract key points, surface action items, and organize next steps. No internet. No subscription. No account. No data leaving your phone. This is not another recorder tied to a cloud plan. Notetaker AI is built natively for iOS 26 using Apple Speech for transcription, Apple Foundation Models for analysis, and Apple ActivityKit for Live Activities. You already own the hardware. Notetaker AI is the missing piece. RECORD ANYTHING Start with one tap. Pause and resume anytime. Audio is captured in high-quality AAC 48 kHz, the same codec used by Apple Voice Memos. A Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows elapsed time and audio levels in real time. You can also start, pause, and save recordings from your Apple Watch. INSTANT TRANSCRIPTION IN 15 LANGUAGES Powered by Apple SpeechAnalyzer, Notetaker AI supports French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, and Polish. Long recordings are automatically split, processed, merged, and structured with speaker detection. AI ANALYSIS WITH APPLE FOUNDATION MODELS No ChatGPT. No API key. No cloud. Your iPhone generates: • corrected transcription with punctuation • speaker identification • smart summaries • key discussion points • action items and next steps • topic tags • auto-generated titles Everything runs on the Neural Engine, offline and on-device. CHAT WITH YOUR RECORDINGS Ask questions like: “What decisions were made?”, “List all action items,” or “What did Marie say about the budget?” The AI answers using the full transcription context, entirely on-device. DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY Zero data leaves your iPhone. No account. No sign-in. No tracking. Recordings stay stored locally in your Documents folder, protected with Face ID and passcode lock. No server. No cloud. No third party. SMART ORGANIZATION Notetaker AI automatically generates useful titles instead of “New Recording.” Favorite important recordings, filter by date or duration, and quickly find what matters. Calendar integration detects upcoming meetings, sends “Record now” reminders before calls, and a home screen widget gives you instant access to quick recording. APPLE WATCH + LIVE ACTIVITY Control recordings directly from your wrist and monitor them in real time. On iPhone, recording status stays visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with timer, waveform, and pause state always in view. WHY IT’S FREE Because Apple Intelligence already runs on your iPhone. Notetaker AI simply orchestrates the native frameworks Apple built into the device you already paid for. No servers to maintain. No AI API costs. Just your iPhone, unlocked to its full potential. Requires iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence enabled on device.
