PrivateScribe

Record, transcribe, and summarize conversations entirely on your device. Nothing you say is ever uploaded — not the audio, the transcript, or the summary

PrivateScribe is a voice notes and meeting summarizer built for people who can't risk uploading a recording to the cloud — lawyers, therapists, consultants, and anyone bound by confidentiality.

Everything happens on your device: • Record conversations with one tap • Transcribe automatically using Apple's on-device Speech recognition • Summarize into a concise overview, key topics, and action items using on-device Apple Intelligence • Search your notes and transcripts instantly • Share a note as text, Markdown, PDF, or the original audio file — only when you choose to, via the system share sheet

PRIVATE BY DESIGN, NOT BY POLICY PrivateScribe has no server. There is nothing to hack, subpoena, or leak, because your recordings, transcripts, and summaries never leave your device unless you explicitly share them yourself. Optional iCloud Sync, if you turn it on, stays entirely within your own private iCloud account — we never see it either.

ACTION ITEMS THAT FOLLOW UP Summaries extract concrete action items automatically. Set a reminder on any action item and get a local notification when it's due — tap it to jump straight back to the note. Never leaves your pending items unaddressed: an optional daily digest tells you how many are still open.

SECURITY • Encrypted on-device storage • Optional Face ID / Touch ID app lock, independent of your device's own passcode • No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs, no tracking of any kind

FREE TO TRY Recording and transcription are free and unlimited. Your first 5 AI summaries are free too — upgrade only if you want more.

IMPORTANT: Recording-consent laws vary by location. Some jurisdictions require everyone in a conversation to agree before it's recorded. Please check and follow the law in your area.

Requires an Apple Intelligence–capable iPhone or iPad (iPhone 15 Pro or later) and iOS 26 or later.
