01
Open Sessions or import audio
Start with a new recording, or bring in an existing file from Files and share entry points without switching to another workflow.
How it works
A short product path with very little ceremony.
HushNote now covers both live capture and imported audio, then carries each task through local transcription, visible progress, interruption-safe resume, and calmer review.
02
Transcribe locally with visible progress
Imported and live sessions both show clearer state feedback while HushNote runs local transcription and updates task progress.
03
Resume, then append
If an import task is interrupted, continue from the last checkpoint and keep appending more transcript after the first pass completes.
04
Refine what matters
Use transcript polishing, quick notes, and key captures to improve uncertain passages and return to important moments faster.
Product boundary
What HushNote intentionally does not try to be.
- Not a team workspace with cloud collaboration layers.
- Not a chat-first AI assistant with a giant prompt box.
- Not a heavy setup flow that asks you to configure before you can capture.
Built for
Focused recording scenarios where privacy and readability matter.
Meetings
Capture the live discussion, then scan the structured summary and the key moments afterward.
Interviews
Keep the interview flowing while HushNote helps you return to the important sections later.
Voice notes
Use the same workflow for solo capture when you want a cleaner review than a plain audio list.
Sensitive notes
The interface and runtime both stay aligned with a local-first, privacy-conscious posture.
What changed
This release makes imported audio feel like a first-class workflow.
The update is not just about adding entry points. It also makes imported tasks easier to trust, continue, and clean up afterward.
Audio import enters from Files and share sheet
The product no longer assumes every session starts with a live recording inside the app.
Interrupted tasks can recover
Breakpoints let long-running import jobs continue instead of forcing a full retry.
Transcript can keep growing
Append transcription after the first pass so a session can continue evolving.
Refinement is stronger for mixed speech
Polishing now handles Chinese and mixed Chinese-English spoken content with better cleanup quality.
Start with the simplest version
The point is not to add more screens. The point is to help you capture once and review clearly.
If that matches how you work, the App Store version is already live for iPhone.
