LocalNote: Private Voice Notes
AI Transcripts, Summaries, Q&A
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn meetings, lectures, interviews, and ideas into private transcripts, summaries, and answers. No account. No cloud notes.
LocalNote turns meetings, lectures, interviews, and ideas into private, searchable voice notes on iPhone and iPad.
Record first. After you stop, LocalNote transcribes the audio, builds a searchable transcript, and keeps the recording ready for replay.
CAPTURE WHAT MATTERS
- Record with one tap
- Mark Bookmark, Important, To-Do, Question, or Idea moments as you go
- Pause, resume, and recover from common audio interruptions
- Add text-only notes when audio is not needed
TURN AUDIO INTO USEFUL NOTES
- Review and edit the transcript
- Generate Executive, Key Points, or Action Items summaries
- Ask questions about one note at a time
- Create custom summary formats
- Search titles, transcripts, summaries, and tags
- Use AI Search to broaden a search when exact words are missing
- Share note text and recordings with other apps
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No LocalNote account
- No LocalNote cloud-notes backend
- Recordings, transcripts, summaries, tags, and answers stay on your device unless you choose to share them
- Apple speech and on-device language technologies do the processing; feature availability depends on compatible devices and required downloaded assets
