Wadsworth
Start in a moment.
Tap Record, say “Wadsworth” to Siri, or assign Wadsworth’s recording shortcut to the Action Button on a supported iPhone.
Voice notes & conversations for iPhone
Speak. Wadsworth writes it down.
Capture a passing thought or a whole meeting, with live words on your screen. Add optional cloud sync and AI cleanup, then ask Wadsworth about your notes—by typing or talking.
Always ready to take a note
From a quick thought to a whole meeting.
Record, transcribe, search and listen on your iPhone. No account required.
Watch your words appear.
Apple’s on-device speech engine supplies live transcription. Recording continues with the phone locked, with a timer and Pause and Stop controls on the Lock Screen.
Come back to the details.
Pause and resume the same note. After saving, search its words, play the original audio, or share text and audio. Longer recordings show progress as the saved audio is transcribed in sections.
An interruption pauses recording. You choose when to resume. More about recording.
Optional cloud & AI
Keep the recording. Improve the words.
Sign in with Apple, then choose whether to enable cloud features. Wadsworth syncs your notes and uses OpenAI to help turn spoken words into a more readable transcript.
Sync as you carry on.
Notes upload without blocking your work, with recent notes first. Synced notes can return after a reinstall when you sign in to the same account and enable cloud features.
A clearer transcript.
Wadsworth compares Apple’s live and saved-audio transcripts with an independent OpenAI transcription, then reconciles the wording and adds natural paragraph breaks.
See what changed.
Each note shows its sync and processing status. “Processed by server” means its cloud transcript is ready. Compare available transcript versions and listen to the original whenever you want to check a detail.
You choose whether existing notes join the cloud. Uploads need a connection; processing long recordings takes time. How sync and processing work.
Call Wadsworth
Ask your notes a question.
Type a question or start a voice conversation about your saved notes and Wadsworth calls, saved questions and AI usage. Ask for a detail, a count, or a short summary to save as a new note. Answers about notes can link back to their sources.
Tap Call Wadsworth, wait for Connected and the short beep, then speak. Keep talking while you browse the app or lock your phone. Say goodbye naturally, or tap End whenever you’re done.
Voice calls last up to ten minutes during the beta. Their transcripts and details are saved to your cloud account; call audio is not archived. Deleted notes can be restored from Deleted Notes in version 1.5.
Discreet, as a good butler should be.
Local recording works without an account. Cloud storage and OpenAI processing require your permission; signing in alone does not upload your notes. No advertising or tracking. Read the privacy policy.
