Keep your attention on the conversation. MoosePad records meetings, transcribes speech on your device, and turns transcript and note text into AI summaries with decisions and action items. On iPhone Duo, unfold for more room to read and take notes, then fold it without losing your selected note, edits, or recording draft. You can also import audio you recorded somewhere else (podcasts, lectures, voice memos) and run it through the same transcription and summary flow. PERFECT FOR • Business meetings and team standups • Church services and Bible studies • University lectures and seminars • Interviews and consultations • Podcasts and voice memos KEY FEATURES • Real-time, on-device transcription using Apple's Speech framework • AI summaries with sections, action items, and key takeaways • Ask this meeting: chat with your notes • Disable emojis in AI summaries from Settings • Automatic, on-device speaker labels while recording, with names you can edit • Detect speakers in saved notes when their audio is available • Capture more than your microphone. On Mac, MoosePad records system audio directly from Zoom, Teams, browsers, and other apps. On iPhone and iPad, put a video call on speakerphone and MoosePad captures both sides through the mic. For direct Zoom or Teams system-audio capture, record on your Mac. (iOS doesn't let any app capture another app's call audio, or regular phone and FaceTime calls.) • Personal notes with timestamps inside the transcript, including existing notes; adjustable transcript size while recording • Import M4A, WAV, and MP3 files for transcription and summarization • Select and copy any text from summaries, transcripts, and notes • Edit transcripts, summaries, and notes after the fact, and find text within a note • Organize meetings into folders and search by title or content • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Light and dark mode • Live Activity and Dynamic Island support on iPhone • Up to 8 hours of continuous recording • 15+ languages for live transcription, 25+ for AI summaries PRIVACY Transcription and speaker detection run on your device. AI summaries send only text from your transcript and notes to our cloud AI service, never audio. Optional iCloud sync stores recordings and notes in your iCloud account. On iPhone and iPad you can also start a system screen broadcast so MoosePad can transcribe audio that other apps make available, such as media playing back. iOS does not share live call audio (Zoom, Teams, Meet, phone, or FaceTime) with any app, so to capture a call put it on speakerphone or use MoosePad on Mac, which captures that system audio directly. iOS shows a standard screen-broadcast warning about screen content and notifications, but MoosePad only uses the audio. Screen content, notifications, and video are never captured or stored. The audio is written to a local container on your device, transcribed on device, and discarded when the broadcast ends. LANGUAGES Live transcription is available in English (US and UK), Spanish (Spain and Mexico), French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Cantonese), Arabic, and Turkish. AI summaries are also available in Portuguese (Portugal), Dutch, Hindi, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Thai, and Indonesian. ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your meetings sync through iCloud, so you can record on your phone and review on your Mac. PLANS Monthly and annual subscriptions include a 7-day free trial. A one-time lifetime purchase is also available. Family Sharing is supported.

VoiceZero turns every meeting into organised, searchable notes — automatically. Hit record. VoiceZero captures everything said and delivers a clean summary the moment you stop: a TL;DR, key decisions, and every action item — ready to share before you've left the room. AI features require Pro; recording and transcription are free. ONE-TAP RECORDING — FREE No setup. No bots joining your call. No calendar integrations to configure. Press record, have your meeting, get your transcript. AI SUMMARY — PRO Every recording produces a TL;DR, key decisions, and action items with owners — generated from what was actually said, not a template. Works on any iPhone or iPad: uses Apple Intelligence where available, or download Gemma directly in VoiceZero for the same AI features on any device. SEARCHABLE TRANSCRIPT — PRO Every word spoken is transcribed and indexed. Search across all your recordings to find any moment, any decision, any name. PRIVATE. ON-DEVICE.

Your audio never leaves your iPhone or iPad. No account required. ZERO SUBSCRIPTIONS Record unlimited meetings for free.
