Capture every word, hands-free. IA Voice Notes transcribes your meetings and conversations in real time using Apple's on-device speech engine — no cloud, no data leaving your device. Recording, transcription, the calendar, and AI features are all free to use — AI works right out of the box, no key or account required. **A calendar that starts recording for you** See your events laid out by day and time, with a live now-line — or as a simple list. Set one up and IA Voice Notes starts recording on its own when the time comes, using the mode you picked for it. Arm a recurring meeting once and it's covered every week. Works with Siri Shortcuts for full automation. **Turn any mention into an event** Scan a flyer, pick a photo, paste an invitation, or just mention a meeting while recording — the AI reads out the date, time, location, and who's coming, and drops it into a review tray for you to approve, linked back to the exact moment it came from. Your iOS Calendar can sit alongside it too, read-only, so you can arm any real meeting for recording in a tap. **AI that works while you record — no setup required** Choose a recording mode — Meeting, Interview, Lecture, Sales Call, and more — and let the built-in AI detect action items, flag key terms, and surface what matters as you speak. A summary is ready the moment you stop. Ask follow-up questions about any note with the built-in Q&A. Every install starts with a free trial, no API key required — subscribe to AI Plan for more, or add your own key for unlimited use. **10 built-in recording modes** General, Meeting, 1:1, Sales Call, Interview, Customer Research, Lecture, Brainstorm, Podcast, Journal — each pre-configured with the right AI features for that context. Build your own custom modes too. **Real-time transcription** Watch your words appear as you speak. Transcripts are saved with timestamps so you can jump to any moment in the recording. **Attach as you go** Snap a photo of a whiteboard, scan a document, or jot a quick text note — all attached directly to your recording at the exact moment they were captured. **Timeline view** See your transcript, photos, scans, and AI results laid out in order, with natural spacing that reflects the rhythm of your conversation. **Export anywhere** Share your notes as Markdown or self-contained HTML, bundled with the audio file. Open in Obsidian, Notion, or any editor that handles Markdown. **Privacy first** All transcription happens on your device using Apple's Speech framework. AI analysis works immediately with no setup — every install includes free AI calls to try. After those run out you can subscribe to AI Plan for a monthly allowance (upgradable to AI Plan Plus if you need more), or add your own Anthropic Claude / OpenAI API key and send requests straight to the provider you choose at your own cost. Your recordings never leave your phone unless you share them or use an AI feature. *Requires iOS 17. Transcription quality depends on Apple's on-device speech recognition for your language.* AI Plan and AI Plan Plus are auto-renewing monthly subscriptions billed through your Apple ID; manage or cancel anytime in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
