Walk into every call prepared, and keep every follow-up on track. Briefcall is a private, on-device call companion. Log a call in seconds — type the notes or just talk — and Apple Intelligence turns your history into a briefing before the next call and a clean summary with action items after it. BEFORE THE CALL • A pre-call briefing for any contact: relationship summary, recent topics, and numbered talking points • On iOS 27, briefings check your calendar for upcoming events with that contact — only theirs, not your whole schedule • Ask Siri or search Spotlight: "Prep me for my call with Sarah in Briefcall" AFTER THE CALL • Dictate a voice note; it's transcribed on-device, with automatic language detection • AI summary with action items, a suggested follow-up date, and call sentiment • Action items become a checklist you can tick off — even from Siri or Spotlight without opening the app • A follow-up email drafted from your notes, ready to copy or share STAY ON TOP OF RELATIONSHIPS • Contact Intel: call patterns, relationship health, open items per person • Reconnect nudges when someone's gone quiet • Optional reminders: log a call when one ends, add notes while they're fresh, a daily digest of open items PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device with Apple Intelligence. No account, no server, no tracking. Call logging, notes, contact intel and action items work on every iPhone; AI briefings, summaries and drafts need a device with Apple Intelligence. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: unlimited call logging, voice notes, contact intel, action items, and a preview of every briefing and summary. Premium (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase): full briefings with talking points, complete summaries with sentiment, follow-up drafts, regenerate, and share/copy.
