iPhone
No account. Your audio never leaves your phone. Record meetings and lectures and get a transcript, speakers, a summary and action items – made on your iPhone.
Referat records your meetings and lectures, transcribes them, works out who said what, and writes a summary with action items. Free. No ads. No subscription, no account and no minute limits – and your audio never leaves your iPhone.
RECORD WITH ONE TAP
• One big red button. Recording continues when you lock your phone
• See the time on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Pause, and mark important moments as you go
• Import audio from Files, Voice Memos or the Share menu – video too
TRANSCRIPTS IN SEVEN LANGUAGES
• English, Danish, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Korean – Referat detects the language itself
• Speech becomes text right on your phone with Whisper
• Referat finds the different speakers – name them with a tap
• Tap a word to hear that moment again, and play at 0.5–2× speed
• Search one recording or all of them
SUMMARY AND ACTION ITEMS
• A short summary, the decisions and a checklist of action items with owners – in the meeting's language
• Written by Apple Intelligence on your iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro and later with iOS 26)
• Copy the summary into an email or Slack with one tap
SHARE IT YOUR WAY
• Text, Markdown, PDF, subtitles (SRT/VTT) or the audio file
YOUR MEETINGS ARE YOURS
Everything – audio, transcript and summary – stays on your iPhone. There is no server, no account and no tracking. The speech model is downloaded once, and after that Referat works entirely offline.
FREE. JUST ENJOY IT.
The whole app is free, with every feature, no ads and no subscription. If you're doing alright, you can become a supporter inside the app and get the show-off icons: extra app icons and a silly little game. Nothing gets locked, and freeloaders are still very welcome.
Remember to tell everyone in the meeting that you are recording.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Referat now speaks German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Korean too – in the app, in transcripts and in summaries. It now runs on iOS 17 and later (summaries still need Apple Intelligence and iOS 26), and the Support Peter row sits at the end of About Referat.
