Turn messy lab notes into a decision-ready weekly digest. Capture by photo, voice, or text — get a clean summary to share with your team.
BenchBrief is a lab notebook for anyone who runs experiments and wants their notes organized without the busywork.
Capture your observations the way they actually happen in the lab: snap a photo of a handwritten page or whiteboard, or just talk through your results out loud. BenchBrief transcribes both on-device — no internet connection needed, no audio or images ever leave your phone.
Every entry is distilled into a clear summary with key findings and next steps automatically pulled out, so you can skim weeks of work in seconds instead of re-reading every note. Organize entries into projects, search across every experiment you've logged, and pick up exactly where you left off.
Key features:
• Scan handwritten or whiteboard notes with on-device text recognition
• Record voice notes with on-device speech-to-text
• Automatic summaries with key findings and next steps
• Organize experiments into projects
• Fast full-text search across all your notes
• Private sync across your devices via your own iCloud account
• Available in 17 languages, including full right-to-left support for Arabic
• Built with accessibility in mind: Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support throughout
BenchBrief has no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. Your notes stay yours — processed on your device and synced only to your own private iCloud storage.
