Bandje

iPhone

Record a conversation. Read it back, with who said what.

Transcribed on your iPhone. Nothing leaves it, except to your own iCloud if you turn it on.

For iPhone with iOS 26 or later.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tap.

    Tap the record button. Put your iPhone on the table.

  2. 2

    Talk.

    Have your meeting as usual. Tap again to stop.

  3. 3

    Read.

    Read the transcript. With speaker names, on your iPhone.

What it does

Records, then transcribes

Meetings, interviews, lectures, a thought on the way home. Transcribed on your iPhone, in 25 languages, with speaker labels.

Name each speaker by listening to a short clip of them.

Transcribes the audio you already have

Open a voice memo or any audio file in Bandje, from Files or the share sheet.

Bandje makes a transcript of it, just like a recording.

Syncs with your Mac

Turn on iCloud and every recording, transcript and summary appears on your Mac and iPad.

Through your own iCloud, not through us. Off by default.

Your conversations stay on your iPhone.

Audio, transcripts and summaries are stored in Bandje’s folder on your iPhone. Delete a recording and it’s gone.

No account. No analytics. iCloud only if you switch it on.

One honest footnote: the app does a license and active-device check at most once a month for Desert Ant Labs, the maker of the speech models (who acts as an independent data controller for this signal). It sends a random install ID and version numbers, not tied to you. Never audio, never text. Privacy details

Also on your Mac and iPad.

Record calls in any app on your Mac, read with room to spare on your iPad. Same purchase, no extra cost.
