Note Whisperer
Productivity
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Choose to transcribe, save or discard every note. Start recording from Siri, Control Center, widgets or your Watch face. Custom vocabulary spells names right.
Note Whisperer turns your voice notes into organized, searchable knowledge — powered by AI.
Record on your iPhone or Apple Watch, and Note Whisperer transcribes your audio, generates concise summaries, extracts key points, and identifies questions with AI-generated answers. All processing is done through OpenAI's API using your own API key.

YOUR KEY, YOUR DATA
Note Whisperer uses a bring-your-own-key model. You connect your personal OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly for what you use. No subscription, no middlemen, no recurring charges. A few dollars of credit can process hundreds of voice notes.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your recordings stay on your device. Your API key is stored in the secure iOS Keychain. We don't collect, track, or store any of your data — we don't operate any servers. Nothing is sent anywhere until you grant permission: audio, transcripts and your custom vocabulary then go directly from your device to OpenAI, L.L.C. for transcription and analysis, using your own API key. You can turn that off at any time in Settings, and keep using Note Whisperer as a local voice recorder — and with "Save Without Transcribing", you decide note by note what gets sent.
GETTING STARTED
1. Create a free account at platform.openai.com
2. Add a small amount of credit to your account
3. Generate an API key
4. Paste it into Note Whisperer settings
5. Start recording
Requires an OpenAI API key and account with available credit. OpenAI API usage charges apply.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Choose what happens after you stop: transcribe now, keep it for later, or discard it — on iPhone and Apple Watch. Set it in Settings → After Recording.
• Start and stop recordings with Siri, Shortcuts, the Action button and Control Center, from a Home or Lock Screen widget, or from a new Apple Watch complication. Stop right from the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen.
• Custom Vocabulary: add names, companies and terms so they're transcribed and spelled correctly.
• Wrong language? Note Whisperer spots transcripts that came out in an unexpected language and lets you re-transcribe in the right one. Reprocess also has "Transcribe as…".
• Long recordings keep going if you leave the app, and pick up where they left off if interrupted.
• Export recordings as Markdown or text files, share the audio, or select several at once.
• Easier to scan: titles are now a few keywords, and older recordings show their date.
• Search now covers key points and Q&A. Apple Watch recordings keep the time they were made.
