How Can We Help?

Getting Started
Open Nōtare, tap "Start Meeting" or the Record icon in the bottom tab bar. Give your meeting a title, select the type, and tap Record. It's that simple — one tap and you're capturing everything.
Connection requirements depend on your device, selected mode and model readiness. Prepare any required compatible local model and test your intended workflow before relying on it offline. Apple Speech, where used, may process audio on Apple servers; optional cloud features require a connection.
The iPhone app requires iOS 16 or later. Separate beta downloads for macOS and Windows are linked on our Download page. Model and feature availability depends on your device and setup.
No account is required to record, transcribe, or use on-device AI. Sign in with Apple is optional — it only links your subscription so it also unlocks the Nōtare apps for Mac and Windows. You can remove that link anytime with "Delete Account" in Settings.
Privacy & Data
Your recordings, transcripts, summaries, and notes are stored locally on your device — we don't operate a server that holds your meeting content. Processing is separate from storage: Apple Speech may use Apple servers; optional cloud AI sends relevant text and remote transcription sends audio to providers.
Check the modes available in your app. Our privacy policy describes local models, Apple Speech (which may use Apple servers), and optional cloud models and remote transcription. Availability depends on device, version, settings and model readiness.
Apple Speech may process audio on Apple servers depending on your device, language, and settings. Diagnostics are described in our Privacy Policy. If you enable a cloud AI model, the transcript/notes text is sent to your chosen provider. If you enable remote transcription, that meeting's audio is uploaded to OpenAI to be transcribed. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
No. There's no advertising, no ad identifiers (IDFA), and no cross-app tracking. To keep the app stable we use Sentry to collect crash and performance diagnostics (error traces, device model, OS version) — not your meeting content, and never for advertising.
Delete individual meetings anytime, or use "Delete All Data" in Settings to wipe everything on your device. "Delete Account" in Settings unlinks Sign in with Apple. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
Features
After recording, Nōtare generates a concise summary with key points, action items, and decisions. Check the selected mode and model readiness. If you're a subscriber and choose a cloud model, the transcript text is sent to your chosen provider to produce the summary.
Absolutely! The "Ask AI" feature lets you chat with any meeting transcript. Ask things like "What were the action items?" or "Who is responsible for the follow-up?" Check your selected mode; optional cloud models send relevant text to a provider.
Check microphone and speech-recognition permissions, the mode available in your installed version, any required compatible model, and the connection requirements for that mode. A missing result does not identify its cause. After checking readiness, try a short non-sensitive recording with the required agreement. If the result is still missing, contact support with your device, app version and selected mode; do not send private recordings or transcripts.
Nōtare supports various meeting types including Strategy, Brainstorm, Status Update, Interview, and more. Each type helps the AI better understand context and generate more relevant summaries.
Purchase & Pricing
The App Store lists a free download with optional AI Plus and AI Pro subscriptions. Check current prices, billing periods and included features in the app before purchase.
