Asideo

Asideo is the fastest way to capture a thought. Triple-tap the back of your iPhone and start talking — Asideo records, transcribes on-device, and uses Apple Intelligence to format your note into whatever shape you need.

— TRIGGER WITH BACK TAP — Set up Back Tap once in Settings, and Asideo becomes invisible. No app to open, no button to press. Triple-tap to start recording, triple-tap to stop. Works from any app, the Lock Screen, even with your phone in your pocket.

— ON-DEVICE TRANSCRIPTION — Every transcription happens on your iPhone. Your voice never leaves your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking.

— APPLE INTELLIGENCE FORMATTING — Asideo can reshape any voice note using Apple Intelligence: • Summary — a 2-4 sentence recap in your own voice • To-Do — every action item as a Markdown checklist • Class Notes — structured study notes with a Questions section • Brainstorm — themed groupings with Next Steps • Diary — clean, readable prose that stays true to what you said

All AI runs on-device. (Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence enabled.)

— LIVE ACTIVITIES & WIDGETS — A Live Activity shows recording status from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. A Lock Screen widget toggles recording without unlocking. AirPods stem-press also starts and stops a recording.

— CUSTOM SOUNDBOARD — Asideo includes a soundboard for hands-free sound effects. Import audio files from Files, iCloud, Voice Memos, or AirDrop — or use the included Apple Shortcut to pull audio from video clips.

— DESIGNED FOR PRIVACY — • Zero network calls during normal operation • No third-party analytics or SDKs • Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock on app open • All data stays on your device

— APPEARANCE — Pick from four metallic accents (Chrome, Blue Steel, Rose Gold, Bronze) and five background gradients, or define your own. The carbon-fiber base stays constant — only the accent that catches the light changes.

Asideo is free. No subscriptions. No ads. No accounts.
