STIL.NOTE

Read full description

Just record, and STIL.NOTE turns talk into a clean note — transcript, speakers, and summary. Meetings, calls, lectures, interviews, or a quick memo to yourself: what was said becomes an organized note. Recording and transcription happen on your iPhone (Apple's Speech framework). Your voice never leaves the device. Summaries use Apple Intelligence: short recordings on device, long recordings in one pass on Apple's Private Cloud Compute. Only the transcript text is sent, it is not stored on Apple's servers, and no third-party servers are involved. ■ What it does - Real-time transcription (Japanese / English) - Handles mixed Japanese and English audio - Tells speakers apart (enroll a voice to see names like "Alex") - Reads the scene and sorts decisions, to-dos, and key points automatically - Summarizes long recordings in one pass (Apple Private Cloud Compute, iOS 27 or later) - Outline summaries with clear section headings - Attach meeting materials (PDF) to sharpen recognition and summaries - Auto-titles from the summary; search across all your notes - Export as Markdown, text, or audio (WAV / M4A); add to Obsidian ■ Apple Watch - Start, stop, and mark highlights without taking out your iPhone - Record on Apple Watch alone; it transfers to your iPhone to process ■ Privacy - Audio and transcription stay on your iPhone. Your voice never leaves it - Summaries run on Apple Intelligence (on device, or Apple's Private Cloud Compute). No third-party servers - No account required - iCloud sync uses your own iCloud only (optional; every feature works with it off) ■ STIL.NOTE Pro (in-app purchase) - Go further with every feature. Choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time Lifetime. Requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence. Summaries on Private Cloud Compute require iOS 27 or later.
