Searchable transcripts
Live recordings and imported audio enter the same transcription flow, so you can read the text, find terms, and return to context.
iPhone recording review
HushNote Voice Notes
Private recording, transcription, and summaries on your iPhone. After a meeting, interview, class, or voice thought is captured, HushNote turns it into a transcript, summary, key moments, and an exportable session. Cloud summary only runs if you choose to configure it.
Review faster
Turn long recordings into transcripts, summaries, and key moments instead of only audio files.
On-device summaries
Generate summaries locally for private meetings, interviews, and voice notes.
Privacy control
No account required. Cloud summary is optional, so sensitive content is not uploaded by default.
Private by default
The core workflow is designed around local processing for recording, transcription, and summaries.
Stronger on high-end devices
Higher-memory iPhones can use a stronger local model, while lighter devices use a smaller one.

Recording
Readable text is generated during recording, and imported tasks show progress so the wait is no longer a black box.
What you get
Not just another audio file. A record you can review.
HushNote turns captured audio into a readable, searchable, and extendable session so you spend less time replaying and manually summarizing.
02
Summaries you can scan
A long recording becomes structured notes with topics, decisions, action items, and important details surfaced first.
03
Context stays together
Key moments, quick notes, captures, original audio, and generated results stay in the same session instead of being rebuilt across tools.
Why a normal recorder is not enough
The slow part usually starts after recording.
Many recordings end as long audio files nobody wants to replay. HushNote focuses on the after-work: understanding what happened, what mattered, and what comes next.
Readable transcripts instead of only audio files.
Summaries and key moments for faster review.
Quick notes and photo captures while the context is still fresh.
Sessions that can be refined, extended, and exported.
A local-first workflow for private voice content.

How it works
Capture first, then turn it into something reviewable.
HushNote does not ask you to design a workflow before recording. Capture the audio first, then turn it into text, notes, and exports you can actually use.
Step 1
Capture it
Record a meeting, interview, class, or quick thought, or import existing audio from Files and share entry points.
Step 2
Get the transcript
Readable text is generated during recording, and imported tasks show progress so the wait is no longer a black box.
Step 3
Organize the important parts
Use summaries, key moments, quick notes, and captures to compress long content into a structure you can review quickly.
Step 4
Review or export
When you need to recap, write notes, prepare an interview, or share material, open the session result and export what matters.
New in 1.1.2
Long recordings and local summaries are more reliable.
This update improves on-device summary model selection, long-recording processing, and real-time transcription stability so the local-first workflow feels steadier.
Smarter local model selection
HushNote chooses a local summary model based on device capability, using stronger models on higher-memory devices and lighter ones elsewhere.
Better long-recording summaries
Long content is distilled through reusable intermediate notes before the final template is applied, reducing failures from oversized inputs.
Summary progress can resume
If the app closes during local summary processing, HushNote tries to continue from completed progress instead of restarting from the first round.
Less repetition and drift
Lower local model temperature and repetition intervention reduce loops, hallucinated sections, and unstable outputs.
Fewer live transcription interruptions
Catch-up transcription is coordinated more carefully so returning to the app or recording for longer is less likely to pause capture.
Clearer local model notice
When a smaller on-device model is used, HushNote gently explains the limits and suggests higher-end devices or cloud summary for better results.
Privacy by design
Local-first is the default posture, not a footnote.
No data collected
The App Store listing currently states that the app does not collect data.
No relay backend
HushNote does not require an account and does not run its own summary relay to hold your API key.
Cloud is optional
If you choose cloud summary, you connect your own third-party provider and accept that provider's terms.
