iPhone

Vela is a memory companion for iPhone. Add the people you love, listen to conversations together, and recall what you talked about — all without a single byte leaving the device. WHAT VELA DOES • Your circle — add the people who matter: parents, doctors, friends. Each profile keeps a photo, relationship, voice sample, and stream of past conversations. • Live captions — large font, high contrast, designed for hearing loss too. • Speaker identification — Vela separates speakers and lets you tag who is who. The tag sticks across this conversation and forward. • Memories — conversations save automatically with title, date, participants, and full transcript. Search later by person, keyword, or date. • Voice enrollment — record 10 seconds of someone's voice and Vela uses it as a signature for future tagging. Optional: manual tap-to-tag also works. BUILT FOR FAMILIES NAVIGATING MEMORY CHALLENGES Vela is designed for adults helping aging parents, and for anyone for whom names and faces have started to fade. The interface is large, calm, and free of dark patterns. ON-DEVICE, ALWAYS Apple's Neural Engine and GPU run every model inside your iPhone. No audio, no transcripts, no photos ever leave the device. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics. Uninstall the app and all data is gone with it.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• "Who is this?" — hold the iPhone near whoever is talking and Vela shows you who it is: photo, name, relationship and the notes your family wrote. • Conversation summaries, written on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Nothing leaves the device. • Transcription now follows your iPhone's language, with a manual choice in Settings. • Larger captions, easier to follow from across the table. • Each person's profile lists the conversations you had with them. • Live captions appear as people speak, and recording stops safely when a call or Siri interrupts.
