How it works

Capture, transcribe, understand.

Record Everything on Mac

Mac app captures all audio — system audio, browser audio, Zoom, Teams, podcasts, YouTube, and your microphone — simultaneously. No meeting bots needed.

One-Tap Capture

Quick-record widgets on iPhone Home Screen, Live Activities on the Lock Screen, and a menu bar icon on Mac. Recording is always one tap or one click away — no unlocking, no hunting for the app.

Meeting Detection (Mac)

Jotley notices when a Zoom, Meet, Teams, or FaceTime call starts and offers to record. Never miss the first five minutes of a meeting because you forgot to hit record.

AI Transcription

Powered by advanced speech recognition. Accurate, fast, and works with multiple languages and accents.

Smart Summaries

AI extracts key points, action items, and insights. Get the gist without re-reading or re-listening.

Chat with AI About Your Notes

Have a conversation with your notes. Ask questions, get instant answers, and dive deeper without re-reading everything.

Cross-Device Sync

Start a note on iPhone, finish on Mac. iCloud sync keeps everything in perfect harmony across all your devices.

Instant Search

Find anything in seconds. Search across all your notes, transcripts, and summaries with lightning-fast full-text search.

Security First

Your notes are never stored on our servers — they sync privately through your own iCloud account. Apple encrypts your data in transit and at rest, and turning on Advanced Data Protection makes your notes end-to-end encrypted, so only your devices can read them.

* iCloud account required for data sync. Storage counts against your iCloud storage plan.

Quick Capture, Anywhere

Recording is always one tap away. Quick-record widgets on your iPhone Home Screen, Live Activities on the Lock Screen, and a menu bar icon on Mac mean you start capturing without unlocking, hunting for the app, or breaking your train of thought.

  • Quick-record widget on iPhone & iPad Home Screen
  • Live Activity on the Lock Screen — start recording without unlocking
  • Menu bar icon on Mac for one-click access from any app

Meeting Detection (Mac)

  • Auto-detects Zoom, Meet, Teams, and FaceTime calls
  • One-click confirmation to start recording the meeting
  • Never miss the start of a meeting again

Privacy and Security First

Your transcription data is among the most private information you have. Your notes are yours and are never stored by Jotley. We don't want it. Our business is not founded on those practices.

  • Your data is never stored by Jotley
  • Notes sync privately through your own iCloud account
  • End-to-end encrypted when you enable Apple's Advanced Data Protection
  • No audio files cluttering your storage

* iCloud account required for data sync. Storage counts against your iCloud storage plan.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your notes are yours and are never stored by Jotley. They optionally backup to your iCloud account. We simply can't access your content.
