PressNote: AI Voice Recorder
Meetings, Transcripts & Notes
$8.99
Record keynotes, press conferences, and online classes. Transcribe, translate, and summarize entirely on-device, your audio and notes never leave your iPad.
From live audio to a finished document, entirely on your device.
PressNote records what you hear, transcribes it as it happens, and turns the transcript into summaries, action items, study material, and blog drafts, with on-device Apple Intelligence. Nothing is sent to a server: transcription, translation, summarization, and OCR all run locally, and everything keeps working offline.
BUILT FOR THREE KINDS OF LISTENERS
Journalists: capture keynotes and press conferences on iPad with the directional microphone, mark key moments, add timestamped notes, and leave with a summary or a blog draft already written.
Students: record online classes on your Mac. System Audio capture grabs the stream digitally, with none of the room noise. Then turn the transcript into study notes, key terms, and flashcards.
Professionals: record a call or a room and leave with the decisions and the action items written down. No bot joins the call: capture runs on your own Mac or iPad, with nothing to add to the invite. On a Mac, capture both sides at once: the other participants and your own voice, labelled separately. Meeting audio is deleted automatically once it has been transcribed.
CAPTURE
• Crash-resilient recording that streams to disk and recovers interrupted sessions
• iPad: directional microphone tuned toward the stage, the lecturer, or the meeting room
• Mac: System Audio for streams, online classes, and calls on Zoom, Teams, or Meet, plus menu-bar instant record
• Mac: System Audio + Microphone captures both sides of a call at once, labelled separately; System Audio alone captures only the other participants, and in person the microphone captures the room
• Mac: a compact companion window that sits beside your meeting app, with the controls, the live transcript, and the live summary
• Import photos of slides, text is extracted with on-device OCR and placed on the timeline
UNDERSTAND
• Live on-device transcription with timestamps
• Live or after-the-fact translation between English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, German, French and Italian
• Speaker tagging, pre-filled with the people you expect: your team, your teachers, the speakers on stage
• On-device summaries, key points, and study formats in your choice of content language
• Action items with an owner and a due date whenever the meeting actually named one
• Follow-up questions: what to ask a source next, or what a call left unresolved
• A live summary with decisions and action items while a meeting runs, plus a question worth asking right now
• Correct a misheard line in place, and let PressNote propose repairs for the words it likely got wrong
• Mark part of a transcript as beside the point and the AI skips it; it stays in the transcript and in exports
• Play an event or a class back with the transcript following along; tap a timestamp to jump there
SHARE & EXPORT
• Export transcripts, summaries, and generated outputs as Word, PDF, Markdown, or plain text
• Save to Files, AirDrop, or mail a finished document, all in airplane mode
• Journalists: publish to WordPress, Ghost, or Micropub blogs with an offline-first outbox
• Your own notes publish directly; AI-generated drafts always pass a review step first
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% on-device AI, audio never leaves your device
• No bot joins your calls: capture runs on your own Mac or iPad, not a notetaker service
• Meeting audio is erased after transcription; the transcript, your notes, and everything you generated are kept
• A reminder to tell participants you are transcribing — deleting the audio does not replace their consent
• Notes marked private are never included in AI processing, exports, or publishing
• No accounts, no analytics, no third-party services
• Optional iCloud sync, local-only is the default
REQUIREMENTS
PressNote requires an Apple Intelligence–capable iPad or Mac running iPadOS 26 / macOS 26 or later. Transcription and translation language packs are downloaded on demand and then work offline.
Ratings & Reviews

Meetings, playback, and transcripts you can fix.
• New: Meetings. Record a Zoom, Teams or Meet call, or an in-person one, alongside your events and classes. A meeting's audio is deleted as soon as it has been transcribed. The transcript, your notes and everything you generate are kept.
• Action items. A meeting gets a summary, the decisions taken, and who is doing what next. An owner or a due date only appears when someone actually said one. Follow-up questions cover whatever the call left open.
• Your team, kept once. A company holds its people, imported from Contacts or typed in, with roles, search and bulk selection. A meeting just ticks who attended, and the transcript calls them by first name.
• Play back what was said. Finished recordings now play right in the workspace. Tap a timecode to jump to that moment, and the transcript follows the playhead as it goes.
• Fix a misheard line. Double-tap any finalized line and correct it. That line's translation is redone, and PressNote learns the word for the rest of the session.
• Suggested corrections. After a recording, PressNote proposes repairs for words it likely misheard, grouped so "replace London with Lambda, 7 times" is a single decision. You always choose.
• Ignore part of a transcript. Mark a stretch as beside the point and the AI skips it. It stays in the transcript, in playback and in every export. Nothing is deleted.
• Live while you record. A meeting can show a running summary with decisions and action items. Meetings and events can suggest a question worth asking right now. Both are off until you turn them on.
• Your name. Settings now takes your first and last name, used for your notes and for your own lines in a transcript. Leave it empty to stay "You".
• You can tell it is recording. The record bar carries a white ring, a REC pill and a red timer while capture runs, and turns amber with NO AUDIO the moment it stops hearing anything.
• A new live waveform, matching pressnote.app.
• Fixes: readable summary text in light and dark, and the keyboard no longer covers the search field when you look someone up.
Everything still happens on device. Your audio never leaves it.
