Talk freely. AI writes the notes. Prismical is a full AI note taker - not just a meeting recorder. Record a lecture, a client call, a voice memo on the walk home, or a two-minute brain dump. Prismical transcribes it while you talk, then writes it up: summary, decisions, action items. And it is a real notes app underneath. Type when you would rather type. Folders, tags, search and sync are all there - recording just means you never have to type out the part you already said. FREE AND PRO Every feature is free to use, including AI write-ups, Skills, Ask AI, sharing, and connecting your own AI provider key. What the Free plan limits is volume: 600 minutes of cloud transcription a month. Prismical Pro raises that limit for heavy users. Nothing else is locked behind it. Prismical Pro is US$14.00/month or US$119.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Read full description

Pandecho turns a meeting into a written note, entirely on your iPhone. Hit record, put the phone on the table, and get a structured summary with key points and action items when you stop. Transcription and note writing both run on-device using Apple's speech recognition and Apple Intelligence. Private by design. Your recordings, transcripts and notes are stored only on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account to create, and we could not read your meetings even if we wanted to. WHAT YOU GET - Record in-person meetings and calls on speakerphone - On-device transcription, with a live transcript while you record - Structured notes with key points and action items - Note styles for general summaries, standups, 1:1s and sales calls - Share or export any note as Markdown - Works fully offline PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Audio never leaves your device - No account, no sign-in, no tracking - Notes are stored in your app's own storage and deleted when you delete them PRICING Record five meetings free. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited meetings. No subscription. A NOTE ON WHAT IPHONE CAN DO Apple does not allow apps to capture other apps' audio, so Pandecho records what the microphone hears. It is built for in-person meetings and speakerphone calls, not for capturing remote participants while you wear headphones. You are responsible for getting consent from the people you record where your local laws require it.
