Voicekeep is a voice recorder and transcriber that works entirely on your iPhone. Recording, transcription, and AI features all run on-device — nothing about what you say is ever sent to a server. ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION Voicekeep uses Apple's own Speech framework to transcribe your recordings — no cloud upload, no network round-trip for your audio. Your first 10 transcriptions are free; after that, unlimited transcription is included with Voicekeep Pro+. PRO+: AI SUMMARIES, QUESTIONS, AND TAGS Subscribe to Pro+ and every recording gets: • A concise AI summary with clear action items • Ask AI — ask questions about a recording and get answers pulled straight from the transcript • Automatic topic tags, suggested in one tap On iPhone 15 Pro and newer with iOS 26, this runs on Apple Intelligence. On other iPhones, Voicekeep can download a compact on-device AI model instead — entirely optional, and never downloaded without your say-so. SHARE IN ONE TAP Send a transcript or an AI summary anywhere — Messages, Mail, Notes — straight from the share sheet, no copy-pasting. BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS • Speaker labels tag who said what in every segment • Tap any line to jump playback to that moment • Highlight key moments and filter to just the highlights • Custom vocabulary for names and jargon your recordings use often • Tags and instant search across every recording and transcript • Export to TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, or PDF • Send a transcript snippet to Reminders or Calendar in one tap • Translate any transcript with Apple's built-in Translation • Apple Watch app to start and stop recording from your wrist • Live Activity shows recording progress on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island PRIVACY BY DESIGN No accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no servers. Voicekeep doesn't know who you are and doesn't want to. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your iPhone unless you choose to export or share them. PRICING • Free: 10 transcriptions, full search, full export, speaker labels, tags. • Pro+: $4.99/month or $29.99/year (7-day free trial) — unlimited transcription plus AI summaries, Ask AI, and auto-tags.
