Your phone is always with you. yapyap go turns it into a private voice recorder that captures every meeting, interview, lecture, and late-night idea and then writes down what it heard, right there on the phone. No account. No upload. No cloud. Your voice never leaves your device. Full stop. IT TRANSCRIBES ITSELF Stop a recording and the transcript starts writing, using the speech recognition your phone already has. Nothing to download, nothing to configure, nothing to wait for. Tap any line to jump the audio to that exact moment. Want more? Pick a whisper model in settings, from 57 MB up, for higher accuracy and for languages your phone can't handle offline. It downloads once and runs entirely on your device, in airplane mode, in a basement, on a plane. IN YOUR LANGUAGE yapyap go is translated into 181 languages, and you choose which one it speaks, whatever your phone is set to. Each one tells you how much of it is translated. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu turn the whole screen around. Your recordings are transcribed in your language too, not in English. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap record. Nothing to set up first. Capture audio in a single tap, and keep recording when you switch apps or lock your screen. 2. Read it back. The transcript appears under the recording, split into turns, and synced to the audio. 3. Do something with it. Share the transcript as text, or send the recording to your yapyap desktop. Speaker names and summaries return to your phone. IN THE APP • One-tap recording with start, pause, resume, and retry • Background & screen-lock recording, so a locked phone keeps listening • On-device transcription with no download or an offline Whisper model if you want more accuracy • Transcripts split into turns, tap-to-seek, and shareable as plain text • Correct a word in a transcript, and it teaches the next recording • 181 languages for the app, picked in settings, with right-to-left layouts • Mark a moment mid-recording with a tap and a buzz so you can find it later • An on-device library grouped by day, with playback • Import audio from other apps and transcribe it here • Summaries and action items from your desktop arrive below the transcript they belong to • Optional pairing with the yapyap desktop app: either device can start it, automatic discovery, direct device-to-device sync, per-file progress, and retry • Free up space: remove the local copy once a recording is safely synced • Light and dark themes WHY YAPYAP • Local-first. Recording and transcription both happen on your phone, never in the cloud. • Works offline. No Wi-Fi, no signal, no problem. • No account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into. • You're not the product. Your conversations are never mined, sold, or used to train anything. • Own it, don't rent it. yapyap is yours to keep. Made for knowledge workers capturing decisions and action items across back-to-back meetings, and for journalists and researchers recording interviews and field notes who need accurate, private transcripts. BETTER WITH A DESKTOP, FINE WITHOUT ONE yapyap go stands on its own. Pair it with the yapyap desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) on the same Wi-Fi. Your recordings sync straight across, device to device, never through a server. The desktop tells apart who said what and sums up what matters. Then the answer returns to your phone, below the recording it belongs to. Either device can start the pairing, and you approve it on the other one. Own your voice again.
