Record interviews, meetings and sessions, then get transcripts and summaries without uploading a single recording. It all runs on your iPhone. Try 5 recordings free. Your recordings never leave your device. Colloquy is an on-device voice recorder and AI transcription tool. Built for lawyers, therapists, journalists, and executives who need confidentiality without compromise. WHY COLLOQUY • Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are processed entirely on your iPhone — nothing is ever uploaded • AES-256-GCM encryption for audio, transcripts, and summaries • Speaker labelling for two-person recordings — interviews, sessions, consultations • AI summaries with industry templates: General, Meeting Notes, Legal Consultation, Therapy Session, Interview • Custom vocabulary so names, jargon, and technical terms transcribe correctly • Export to TXT, Markdown, RTF, SRT, PDF FEATURES • High-quality audio recording (48kHz) • On-device transcription powered by Whisper, with Apple Speech as a fallback • Smart bookmarks during recording • Search every recording by title or transcript text • Action items, decisions, and key topics extracted automatically • Interview and legal summaries quote people word for word — each quote is checked against the transcript and links to the moment it was said • A reminder to confirm everyone has agreed before you record (you can turn it off) • Background recording — keeps going when you lock the screen or switch apps • On iPhone Duo, unfold to see your recordings and the open transcript side by side • Works fully offline once set up PRIVACY-FIRST Unlike cloud transcription services, Colloquy processes everything on your iPhone. Your audio and transcripts are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and never leave your device. No analytics. No telemetry. No accounts. The only network access is a one-time download of the AI models when you first use transcription or summaries. After that the app works entirely offline. Your recordings are never part of any upload. FREE TRIAL 5 free recordings, up to 60 minutes each. A one-time purchase removes both limits. No subscription. Requires iOS 17.0 or later.
