OnTheRecordOnTheRecord · AI Note Taker
Every word, on the record. None of it in someone else’s cloud.
Record a meeting, a lecture or a quick thought. OnTheRecord transcribes it on your iPhone as you speak, labels who said what, and summarizes it the moment you stop. Your audio never leaves the device.
Coming soon to the App Store · iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch
What you get
A live transcript
Words appear as they’re spoken, for a two-minute memo or a three-hour lecture. Tap any line to hear that moment.
Who said what
On-device speaker identification labels each voice. Rename Speaker 1 to Maya once and the name follows through summaries, search and exports.
Summaries and tags
An overview and key points as soon as you stop, and tags suggested from your own vocabulary for you to approve.
Ask your recordings
“What did we decide about the budget?” Ask one recording, or search every recording by meaning, filtered by tag.
Meeting notes in one tap
Templates turn a transcript into notes with decisions and owners, or a neutral record of a conversation. Export to Markdown, PDF or Word.
Apple Watch
Start recording from your wrist, even with your iPhone in another room. It transfers and transcribes on its own. Or start from the Action button, Control Center, Siri or a widget.
