Ai Notes Studio

Read full description

Record a voice note, get a transcript, and let an AI agent turn it into a summary, meeting notes, a to-do list or a mind map. RECORDING A live transcript appears while you speak, made on the phone where the device supports it. Recording continues with the screen locked or the app in the background. On the free plan a recording stops at 60 seconds and the note is still saved and transcribed; on PRO, PRO API or an AI minute pack it can run up to two hours. The full transcript is made on the server; it finishes even if you close the app, and a notification tells you when a long note is ready. AGENTS Fifteen built-in agents: Short summary, Bullet points, Meeting notes, Lecture notes, Journal entry, To-do list, Mind map, Cleaned transcript, Key insights, Ideas and thoughts, Important reminders, Self-reflection, FAQ, Social post, Children's story. Writing your own agents needs a paid plan. ASK AI Ask a question across your own notes; the answer says which notes it came from. On the free plan it reads the last 30 days; on a paid plan, the whole notebook. MORE Type a note and save it without AI processing; nothing is metered. Search titles, bodies and transcripts. Translate a note, one agent result or a whole transcript into 15 languages. Export to Markdown or PDF. Photo notes, audio import, adding a second recording to a note, notebooks, rules that file a note by meaning, an AI keyboard for any app, an MCP endpoint and the dictation dictionary need a paid plan. Interface in Russian, English, German and Spanish. iPhone and iPad, iOS 17.0 or later. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email and a 6-digit code. FREE No card needed. A monthly allowance of notes — 200 at the moment, one recording or one new typed note each — plus a separate, smaller allowance of AI units for Ask AI, translations and running an agent again. Recordings up to 60 seconds, 250 MB of audio. PRO 500 minutes of audio a month, paid for by us, charged for what a recording lasted: ten seconds cost ten seconds. Agents, Ask AI, translation and photos are included. Recordings up to two hours, 5 GB of audio, and everything above except personal provider keys. PRO API No AI minutes are included: your providers invoice you directly. It stores your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Groq, Grok (xAI) or OpenRouter key, encrypted, on our server, and pins a model per task — agent, speech-to-text, photo recognition. Without a saved key it runs nothing, so it is not a cheaper PRO. AI MINUTE PACKS 300 minutes EUR 7.99, 600 EUR 14.99, 1000 EUR 23.99, spent like PRO's minutes and never expiring. On PRO they are used once the monthly 500 run out; on their own they unlock the AI features with no subscription, two-hour recordings and 1 GB of audio. SUBSCRIPTIONS PRO — EUR 9.99 per 1 month, or EUR 59.99 per 1 year. PRO API — EUR 2.99 per 1 month, or EUR 29.99 per 1 year. Prices are in euro. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings on your device, under your name, Subscriptions. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ PRIVACY Your notes are not kept only on your device: each note — title, text, transcript, agent results, translations, the recording and any photo — is stored in your account on our server; the phone keeps a cache. An account is required; there is no local-only mode. Nothing goes to an AI provider until you grant AI consent, which you can revoke in Settings at any time. When you use an AI feature, the text, audio or image that feature needs is sent to the AI provider that performs it; that provider may keep what it receives, process it outside your country and use it to improve its models. No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. You can delete your account and its data in the app; purchase records are kept for seven years without your user id. Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription.

Read full description

Transcription helps you work through lectures, interviews, and spoken recordings. Paste a public YouTube link, or choose an audio or video file from your device. Instagram account import requires sign-in to your own connected professional account. Start with a short summary for the main ideas. Open the medium summary for explanations, the long version for more detail, or the full transcript to revisit the wording. Copy your chosen version or download a TXT file for your notes. Work with several recordings together. Add a public YouTube channel, a playlist, a list of links. Select available videos, create a collection summary and export a PDF book with a chapter for each recording. Access depends on the source platform; some recordings may be unavailable. Instagram account import requires sign-in to your own connected professional account. Google or Apple sign-in is optional. Your account has a cloud library, recording and word counts, and estimated time saved; device history remains separate. Internet is required and processing takes place on a server. Files up to 20 MiB; recordings up to 10 hours. Interface and summary languages: Русский · English · Français · Português (Brasil) · Español · Deutsch · Italiano · Українська · Türkçe · العربية · 简体中文 · 日本語. Instagram account import requires sign-in to your own connected professional account. A completed full transcript stays readable even if a summary fails verification. Mac and iPad; record voice notes on Apple Watch. Cloud processing requires internet. Check names, numbers, and important conclusions against the original. Recognition and summaries can contain errors. This independent app is not affiliated with YouTube or Instagram.
