Note Whisperer turns your voice notes into organized, searchable knowledge — powered by AI. Record on your iPhone or Apple Watch, and Note Whisperer transcribes your audio, generates concise summaries, extracts key points, and identifies questions with AI-generated answers. All processing is done through OpenAI's API using your own API key. NEW IN 1.2 - Choose what happens after you stop: transcribe now, keep it for later, or discard it — on iPhone and Apple Watch - Start and stop recording with Siri, Shortcuts, the Action button, Control Center, Home and Lock Screen widgets, or an Apple Watch complication - Stop recording right from the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen - Custom Vocabulary: names, companies and jargon transcribed and spelled correctly - Spots transcripts in the wrong language and re-transcribes them in the right one - Long recordings keep transcribing when you leave the app, and resume if interrupted - Export as Markdown or text, share the audio, and select several recordings at once - Short keyword titles and clear dates make your library easy to scan KEY FEATURES - Record voice notes on iPhone or Apple Watch - Recordings pause safely during calls, Siri and alarms — resume or save, nothing lost - Background recording with Dynamic Island and Lock Screen status - Long recordings — meetings of an hour or more are transcribed in parts - Share audio in from Voice Memos, Notes call recordings and other apps - AI-powered transcription with speaker identification - Automatic summaries, key points, and Q&A extraction - Auto-detects your device language for transcription and AI output - Reprocess or re-transcribe recordings, in a different language if you like - Search across transcripts, summaries, key points and Q&A - Customizable AI prompt for tailored analysis - Watch recordings are kept safely until your iPhone receives them - Battery-saving dimmed display on Apple Watch during recording - Light and dark mode support YOUR KEY, YOUR DATA Note Whisperer uses a bring-your-own-key model. You connect your personal OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly for what you use. No subscription, no middlemen, no recurring charges. A few dollars of credit can process hundreds of voice notes. PRIVACY FIRST Your recordings stay on your device. Your API key is stored in the secure iOS Keychain. We don't collect, track, or store any of your data — we don't operate any servers. Nothing is sent anywhere until you grant permission: audio, transcripts and your custom vocabulary then go directly from your device to OpenAI, L.L.C. for transcription and analysis, using your own API key. You can turn that off at any time in Settings, and keep using Note Whisperer as a local voice recorder — and with "Save Without Transcribing", you decide note by note what gets sent. GETTING STARTED 1. Create a free account at platform.openai.com 2. Add a small amount of credit to your account 3. Generate an API key 4. Paste it into Note Whisperer settings 5. Start recording Requires an OpenAI API key and account with available credit. OpenAI API usage charges apply.
