Clearminutes is a private recorder for meetings, lectures, interviews, and voice notes. It captures audio on iPhone or Apple Watch, transcribes it on the device, and lets users search and replay the transcript with tap-to-seek. The free plan includes five AI-generated meeting summaries each month, along with recording in the foreground or background, filler-word removal, custom vocabulary, Siri and Shortcuts support, and encrypted peer-to-peer transfer to a Mac or Windows PC. Clearminutes says it does not upload audio or require an account. Clearminutes Pro adds unlimited summaries, automatic summarization, custom prompts, and templates; the US App Store lists $4.99 monthly or $39.99 yearly, with a two-week trial on the annual plan. It requires iOS 17 or later and the download is about 505 MB. Transcription and summaries are processed locally, so device storage and model compatibility matter.
