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.

More accurate summaries and transcripts.
• Summaries drop placeholder items like "None", and action items keep their due dates
• Interview and legal summaries add verbatim quotes, each checked word-for-word against the transcript, with the speaker and a tap-to-play time

• Chinese transcripts follow your Simplified or Traditional choice
• Phrases invented during silence are filtered out
• "Check audio" hints now point to individual sentences
• Renaming a speaker updates the summary too
• Exports include concerns, quotes, keywords and due dates
• Long recordings are summarised in full with the downloadable summary model
• A reminder to confirm everyone has agreed before you record — turn it off in Settings if you only record yourself
