Everything Talkraft does

Talkraft captures your voice, transcribes it privately, and structures it into notes you can act on — all on your device. Here is the full picture, grouped by what you came to do.

Effortless capture

  • One-tap recording

    Talkraft starts recording in under 200ms from a large, unmistakable record button — no hunting around.

  • Background recording

    Lock the screen or switch apps and Talkraft keeps the audio rolling without interruption.

  • Lock Screen Live Activity

    A live waveform and elapsed time appear on the Lock Screen so you can confirm the mic is live without unlocking.

  • Control Center & Dynamic Island

    Start and stop from Control Center, and watch a compact recording indicator in the Dynamic Island while you use other apps.

  • Call-aware & Bluetooth mics

    Recording pauses automatically during phone calls and resumes after, and works with AirPods and external microphones.

On-device transcription

  • Real-time transcription

    Talkraft transcribes as you speak, with words appearing instantly and no perceptible delay.

  • 99+ languages, on-device

    Transcription runs entirely on the device in 99+ languages via Apple’s SpeechAnalyzer — audio never touches a server.

  • Speaker detection & long recordings

    Talkraft distinguishes different speakers when available and handles recordings of 60+ minutes without degradation.

  • Word-level timestamps

    Every transcript is stored with word-level timestamps and automatic punctuation, capitalisation, and paragraph breaks.

AI structuring & templates

  • Automatic summary

    Talkraft generates a concise 3–5 sentence overview of every recording on-device using Apple’s Foundation Models.

  • Action items

    Pro

    Talkraft extracts tasks from the conversation — with the assigned person and due date when they are mentioned.

  • Key decisions

    Pro

    Statements where an agreement or conclusion was reached are captured verbatim as key decisions.

  • Topic tags & titles

    Pro

    Talkraft adds 3–7 searchable topic tags and a suggested 5–10 word title to every recording — all editable.

  • Structuring templates

    Pro

    Six purpose-built templates — Meeting, Brainstorm, Interview, 1:1, Journal, and General — change what the AI extracts and how the detail view renders.

Knowledge graph

  • Auto-extracted entities

    Pro

    Talkraft recognises the people, projects, organisations, and topics in each recording on-device, with zero setup.

  • “See everything about X”

    Pro

    Search any name to get a dedicated entity page aggregating every mention across your library, newest first.

  • Mention timeline & related entities

    Pro

    Each entity shows a timeline of mentions in context and a co-occurrence graph of the people and projects it appears with.

  • Interactive graph & browser

    Pro

    A force-directed visualisation lets you pan, zoom, and explore an entity’s neighbourhood; aliases resolve to one person automatically.

Smart library & folders

  • Smart library

    Talkraft shows a chronological feed where each card carries the title, date, duration, summary preview, and colour-coded tags.

  • Full-text search & Spotlight

    Search across transcripts, summaries, action items, and tags — and find any note from system Spotlight on iOS and macOS.

  • Pin, archive & folders

    Pin important recordings, archive to declutter, and organise notes into named folders with custom emoji icons.

  • Smart Folders

    Pro

    Talkraft auto-categorises every recording on-device and files it into system or custom rule-based folders whose membership updates live.

Sync & the Mac app

  • iCloud sync

    Pro

    Transcripts, summaries, action items, tags, and folders sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud — no setup required.

  • Mac menu-bar app

    Pro

    A persistent menu-bar icon lets you record, search, and browse recent notes, with a global shortcut and a full three-column library window. Launches at login, so capture is always one shortcut away.

  • Drag-and-drop import

    Pro

    Drop an .m4a, .wav, .mp3, or .aac file onto the Mac library to transcribe and structure it automatically.

Recording detail & editing

  • Recording detail view

    Talkraft shows the full transcript with finalized and in-flight text distinguished, alongside the summary, action items, decisions, and tags.

  • Inline editing & retranscribe

    Correct transcripts inline, tick off and edit action items, tap tags to search, and retranscribe if the first result was noisy.

Export & sharing

  • Markdown, PDF & Reminders

    Pro

    Export a clean Markdown or PDF document, send action items straight to Reminders, or share anywhere via the system Share Sheet.

  • Obsidian vault export

    Pro

    Write a structured Markdown file straight into your Obsidian vault — YAML frontmatter, task-list action items, wikilinks, and hashtags, with no network request. Saved export profiles remember which sections you include.

  • Notion export

    Pro

    Push a recording to a Notion database as a formatted page via official OAuth; re-exports update the same page instead of duplicating it. Saved export profiles remember which sections you include.

System integration

  • Siri & Shortcuts

    Start a recording hands-free with Siri, automate capture with Shortcuts, and map the Action Button to record instantly.

  • Home Screen quick actions

    Long-press the app icon to start a recording or jump to your latest note — no setup required.

  • Spotlight & Siri Suggestions

    Find recordings from system search with summary previews, and let relevant notes surface proactively — all content stays on-device.

Accessibility

  • Built for everyone

    Talkraft ships full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type up to the largest sizes, Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency support, AAA contrast, and 44×44pt tap targets.

Privacy & security

  • Zero cloud AI

    Talkraft processes everything on-device with Foundation Models; no tokens are sent to servers and there is no Talkraft backend.

  • Nothing uploaded by default

    Audio never auto-syncs — iCloud sync is opt-in per recording — and transcript text and AI output are never logged anywhere.

  • Ready for regulated environments

    Because no cloud AI is involved, Talkraft suits enterprise and regulated settings where cloud AI is prohibited; purchases use StoreKit 2.

  • No account required

    No sign-up, no login, no password. Download Talkraft and start recording — your notes belong to your device, not to an account.

Feature questions

Does Talkraft need a meeting bot to take meeting notes?

No. Talkraft never joins your calls. Hit record on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and it takes meeting notes from any audio — in-person meetings, video calls, brainstorms, or lectures.

Do I need an account to use Talkraft?

No account and no sign-up. Your voice notes are stored on your device (and optionally in your own iCloud), so there is nothing to register for.

Which languages can Talkraft transcribe?

Talkraft transcribes voice notes on-device in 99+ languages using Apple’s SpeechAnalyzer. The app interface is available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese.

Can I export my notes?

Yes — export a meeting summary or full transcript to Markdown, PDF, plain text, Apple Reminders, Obsidian, or Notion, or hand it to any app via the system Share Sheet.
