AI Meeting Notes on iPhone, Written on Your Device

Updated

If you want an AI meeting notes app for iPhone that keeps your conversations on your phone, Dayblue records the meeting, transcribes it on the device, tells speakers apart, and writes the key points, decisions and to-dos with its built-in model. After a one-time model download, transcription works with no internet. There is no account and no subscription.

AI Meeting Notes on iPhone, Written on Your Device

A supplier call that changes the plan

It is Tuesday. Your team meets in a conference room, and a supplier abroad joins on speakerphone. Halfway through, their logistics lead explains a shipping delay, partly in Spanish. Someone moves the delivery date. Someone else promises to update the budget.

You started a recording on your iPhone and set it on the table. When the delay came up, you tapped Marker. Your phone rang in the middle, and the recording kept going.

After the meeting, you tap Stop. A quick draft appears within seconds, then the full transcript. Each speaker has their own label. The Spanish part is translated into English. You find the key points, the decisions and the to-dos, and you share them with your team in Slack in one tap.

Two weeks later, someone asks when the delivery moved to. You ask Dayblue instead of digging through notes, and the answer comes back with the original words.

How it works

  1. Download the on-device models once. Dayblue downloads them over Wi-Fi (about 2.6 GB on some iPhones). After that, transcription works with no internet.
  2. Start recording. Start on your iPhone, or tap once on your Apple Watch. On the iPhone, recording continues with the screen locked.
  3. Tap Marker at key moments. Later, you can jump straight back to them.
  4. Let calls come in. An incoming call does not end the recording. It keeps recording while the phone rings, pauses while you take the call on the iPhone, and resumes when you hang up. Only Stop ends it.
  5. Tap Stop. A quick draft appears within seconds, followed by the full transcript with speakers told apart.
  6. Name each speaker once. Use Rename speaker to give a voice a name. After that, Dayblue recognizes that person automatically.
  7. Read the notes. Key points, decisions and to-dos are written on your iPhone by the built-in model. Tap any line to replay the original audio.
  8. Share in one tap. Send the transcript and notes through the system share sheet to Messages, Mail, Slack and more.

Key points, decisions and to-dos need an iPhone with 6 GB of memory or more: iPhone 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max, and iPhone 14 or later. iPhone 15 Pro and later use Apple Intelligence, with no download. The others download the model once (about 2.6 GB). On iPhone 11, 12, 12 mini, 13, 13 mini and SE, Dayblue transcribes and tells speakers apart, but does not write key points yet.

Speaker identification that remembers people

Speaker identification turns a wall of text into a conversation you can follow. Dayblue tells speakers apart in each recording. Once you name someone, they are recognized automatically after that, so a weekly meeting with the same team only needs naming once.

Foreign-language speech, translated

When someone in the meeting speaks another language, Dayblue translates it into your native language in the transcript. Tap the line to hear what they actually said. If you need to follow a foreign-language conversation as it happens, use Live Interpreter instead. Our guide to the offline translation app for iPhone shows how it works.

On iOS 26, it keeps working in the background

On iOS 26, transcription and summaries keep going when you lock your iPhone or switch to another app. Progress shows on the Lock Screen, so you can close the app and walk to your next meeting.

Meetings that did not happen in the room

You can also import audio files and call recordings, and the sound of a video becomes a transcript too. Share PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files to Dayblue, and each becomes a record. The home screen shows each day as a timeline, so a meeting and its slides sit on the same day.

Ask your records

Notes help only if you can find things later. In Ai Assistant, ask in text or by voice, for example "What day did the supplier move the delivery to?" The answer comes with the original words, and one tap replays them.

What works offline, and what needs internet

On-device transcription is the core of Dayblue. Here is what runs where.

Works with no internet, after the one-time model download:

Needs internet:

Meeting minutes without a subscription

Dayblue is a paid app with no subscription and no account. The key points come from the built-in model on your iPhone, so no external AI is needed to get your meeting minutes.

If you want to use a cloud model, Cloud AI is optional. You connect your own API key from the provider you choose. Content goes straight from your device to that provider, and you pay them directly.

Privacy, in plain words

Meetings hold sensitive things: numbers, names and plans. With Dayblue, recordings, text, photos and places stay on your own devices. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no account. Cloud AI and Web lookups are off by default, and you decide if and when to turn them on. Web lookups send only the query. Read the privacy policy for the details.
