Everything a meeting leaves behind

Talk once. Get everything.

One recording becomes a transcript, a summary, to-dos, decisions and a mind map — before you're back at your desk.

⌚️

Live from your watch

Start on the wrist with one tap. Your iPhone shows the running recording instantly and keeps receiving audio even with the watch screen off.

🗣️

Who said what, when

On-device speaker detection labels every turn. Timestamped passages jump straight into the audio.

🔖

Markers that matter

Pinch your fingers twice — Apple's hands-free Double Tap gesture — or tap the bookmark on the phone to pin the moment. Trigger words highlight passages automatically.

✨

AI summary & actions

Lead, key points, action items with owners and due dates, decisions — extracted on your phone by Apple Intelligence.

🧠

Mind maps

Every memo becomes a visual map of topics and takeaways. Share it as Markdown.

📚

Custom vocabulary

Medical, legal, your product names — teach the transcriber your world and "Peroneussehne" comes out right.

Transcript

A transcript you can actually use.

Not a wall of text: speaker turns, timestamps, highlighted trigger words and your tapped markers — each one a button that jumps into the tape.

  • Speaker detection, fully on-device
  • Trigger-word highlights with jumpable chips
  • Apple Speech or Whisper — your choice, per recording

Summary

From talk to to-dos, automatically.

The meeting ends and the work is already sorted: a crisp lead, key points, action items with owners and due dates — one tap sends them to Apple Reminders.

  • Swipe any memo to share it
  • Markdown for texts, M4A for audio
  • You decide what leaves the device — always
How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

Raise your wrist

One tap and the meeting is on tape. The Double Tap gesture — pinch twice, no screen touch — drops a marker any time, while the watch keeps recording in the background, screen off, up to an hour.

Your iPhone does the work

Audio streams over as you speak. When you stop, transcription, summary and mind map run entirely on the phone — even in airplane mode.

Share what matters

Action items to Reminders, files to your Mac, highlights to your team. Or keep it all to yourself — that's the default.

✈️
Private by default

Your voice. Your notes.
Nowhere else.

Most transcription apps upload your meetings to someone else's computer. Minutehand doesn't have a computer to upload to: there is no server, no account, no analytics on your content.

🔒 100% on-deviceWhisper and Apple Speech run on your iPhone's silicon. Flip on airplane mode and everything still works.
🇪🇺 No US AI cloudsZero third-party AI providers in the pipeline — Whisper and Apple Intelligence run locally on your iPhone. Nothing else is involved.
🗑️ Yours to deleteAudio and text live in your phone's storage. Delete a memo and it's gone — not "marked for deletion in 90 days".
Minutehand vs. AI recorders

You already carry the better recorder.

The new wave of AI gadgets wants you to buy another device, clip it on, keep it charged — and rent the AI on top. Your Apple Watch and iPhone do all of it, without the cloud.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Does my audio really never leave my phone?

Correct. Recording, transcription, summaries, speaker detection and mind maps all run locally — the app works with networking disabled. The only things that ever leave the device are the exports you explicitly share.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No — the iPhone records beautifully on its own, with live transcription while you speak. The watch is the superpower for meetings: start from the wrist, drop markers hands-free with the Double Tap gesture, keep your phone in your pocket.

How good is the transcription?

You choose the engine per use case: Apple Speech for speed and battery, Whisper (up to the large-v3-turbo model) for accuracy and 90+ languages. A custom vocabulary teaches it your domain terms — names, medical or legal jargon, product names.

What happens in long meetings?

The watch records for up to an hour with the screen off, streaming audio to your iPhone as you go. Recordings beyond 25 minutes are processed in seamless windows — no cuts, no seams in the transcript.

Which devices do I need?

An iPhone on a recent iOS for the full AI pipeline (Apple Intelligence powers summaries and mind maps where available, with graceful fallbacks). The hands-free Double Tap gesture works on Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 and later.

Why no subscription?

Because there are no server costs to pass on — your phone does the work. A one-time price is the honest model for on-device software.
