How it works

Capture, transcribe, understand.

From a one-tap recording to a clean, searchable note, in three steps, with no manual cleanup.

Real app · A saved recording, played back on iPhone

  1. Step 01

    Record everything

    The Mac app captures all audio at once, system, browser, Zoom, Teams, podcasts and your mic. On iPhone, recording is one tap from the Home Screen or Lock Screen.

  2. Step 02

    AI does the work

    On-device transcription and Apple Intelligence turn speech into summaries, key points, action items and decisions. Works offline.

  3. Step 03

    Sync & search

    Search your notes and ask Apple Intelligence questions about them, right on your device. Optionally sync through iCloud or export to Obsidian as Markdown.
