How it works

  1. Tap record and talk. BeaconNote opens to a record button. Your words turn into text on your iPhone.
  2. Or just type. Typed and spoken notes live side by side, and you can edit, delete or undo.
  3. Find it later. Search all your notes. Search ignores accents, so cafe finds café.

Action items that know who owes what

Turn any line into an action item with an owner and a due date. The People tab shows who owes what, so nothing slips.

Private by design

Your voice is transcribed on your iPhone. The audio is never uploaded or saved.

Want your notes on your laptop too? Sign in with Apple or email and they sync with the web app, end-to-end encrypted. The server can’t read your notes.

Free, with no ads and no tracking. Anonymous usage counts are on by default, and you can turn them off in Settings.

What you need

An iPhone with iOS 17 or later, or any modern web browser.
