How it works
From a spoken thought to organized notes in three steps
Record
Tap once to record up to 3 hours. It keeps going when you switch apps or lock the screen. Pause and resume any time.
Let the on-device AI work
Speech becomes a transcript, then a short summary, action items, open questions and a category. All on your phone.
Find, ask and share
Search every memo, ask a question in plain English, or export as text, Markdown or PDF.
Features
An offline AI voice recorder that does the note-taking for you
Everything you expect from a voice memo app, plus the transcript and structure you would otherwise write by hand.
Transcripts on your phone
Speech-to-text runs locally with the open-source Whisper model. English speech for now.
Summaries and action items
Every memo gets a short summary, a checklist of action items and the open questions. Tick items off as you go.
Automatic categories
Memos sort themselves into Meeting, Idea, Task, Personal, Learning or Shopping.
Search and ask your memos
Search titles and transcripts, or ask a question in plain English. Answers come only from your own memos, with the memos they used.
Export to text, Markdown or PDF
Share a memo as plain text, Markdown or a meeting-minutes PDF through your phone's share sheet.
Private by design
Your voice stays on your phone. You can check.
Most transcription apps upload your audio to a server. Voice Memos AI does the work on your phone, and shows you the proof.
Nothing leaves your device
Recordings, transcripts and summaries stay in the app's private storage. We run no server that receives them, so we cannot see your memos.
A Privacy dashboard that checks
It lists every AI job and verifies that no network requests were made while it ran.
Delete in one step
Remove a single memo, or wipe all memos, recordings and settings with one action.

FAQ
Questions people ask before they download
Does Voice Memos AI work offline?
Yes. After a one-time download of its AI models (about 885 MB), recording, transcription, summaries, search and Ask your memos all run on your phone, even in airplane mode.
What does the app download, and from where?
The AI model files, about 885 MB, from Hugging Face when you tap download during setup. Wi-Fi is recommended. On phones with more memory you can choose a higher-accuracy set of about 2.2 GB. This download is the only time the app uses the internet, and it sends none of your content.
Are my recordings uploaded anywhere?
No. Recordings, transcripts and summaries stay on your device. There is no account, and no ads, analytics or tracking. The Privacy dashboard lists every AI job and checks that no network requests were made while it ran.
Which languages does transcription support?
English speech only for now.
Is Voice Memos AI a subscription?
No. It is one purchase of $2.49 (the price can vary by country), with no subscription and no in-app purchases.
Which phones does it run on?
iPhones with iOS 16.4 or later, and 64-bit (arm64) Android phones with Android 7.0 or later. Phones with more memory can also use the higher-accuracy models.
How accurate are the transcripts and summaries?
Good for everyday notes, but AI can make mistakes. Check important details against the recording, which you can play back at up to 2x speed.
Can I use my memos in other apps?
Yes. Export a memo as plain text, Markdown or a meeting-minutes PDF through your phone's share sheet. Markdown exports include frontmatter, so they drop straight into notes apps such as Obsidian.
