Mangonote turns speech into text on the iPhone itself, so your audio isn't sent to a server to be transcribed. AI summaries and key points are there when you want them.
Free to start. No account needed.
Transcribes 100+ languages
Four steps, and your iPhone does the typing.
1Record
Record a thought, a meeting or a lecture, or import audio and video you already have. Pause when you need to, and save when you are done.
2Transcribe
Mangonote turns speech into text with models that run on your iPhone. Choose Parakeet, Whisper, SenseVoice, Omnilingual and more, or let Auto detect follow whatever language you speak.
3Summarize
When you stop, Mangonote writes a title, a summary, the key decisions and the action items. Pick a style or write a prompt of your own.
4Organize
Each note gets an emoji and a color, your folders sit at the top, and search looks through everything you have recorded.
On-device transcription
Most voice note apps upload your recording to turn it into text. Mangonote does that work on the device itself.
Transcription runs on your iPhone, so it works with no connection at all, even in airplane mode.
Recordings are never sent to us or to any AI service. With iCloud sync on, they're stored in your own iCloud account.
Summaries and Ask AI send only the note's text, through our server and OpenRouter to the AI provider you pick, and only after you agree. Turn AI off anytime in Settings.
Anyone whose ideas arrive faster than their fingers can type.
Record lectures and get transcripts, summaries and study notes you can actually search.
Meeting notes and recaps, voice memos between calls, brainstorms that survive longer than the napkin they were written on.
Dictate first drafts while walking. Polish later in your editor. Mangonote turns rambles into clean text.
Interview transcripts, fully searchable. Ask AI to pull quotes by theme.

Very good for student
Accurate transcripts even for academic information. App is good to use and very handy.
Amazing app!
By far the best app I’ve used live during my meetings.
Perfect Note taker App
Great app for capturing and summarizing voice notes. It removes the back-and-forth between apps and saves real time compared to Apple’s built-in Voice Memos. The recording is smooth, the summaries are detailed, and the AI chat responses within minutes make it even more useful for quick follow-ups. Solid tool for daily note taking.
Guides and tips for getting more out of your voice notes.
iPhone can record calls itself: start recording on the call screen, and the audio and transcript are saved to Notes. Then summarize the call with AI if needed.

Mangonote is an AI note taker for iPhone. It records or imports audio and video, transcribes the speech on your iPhone, even offline, then writes a title, a summary, the key decisions and the action items. You can ask AI questions about any note, sort notes into folders, search every transcript, sync through iCloud and export to Markdown.
Yes, you can start for free: record, import and transcribe within daily limits, and try Ask AI with 5 messages a day. Mangonote Plus removes the limits. You can manage or cancel it anytime from the App Store.
Yes. Import audio or video files, like a voice memo, a lecture recording or a call you recorded, and Mangonote transcribes them on your iPhone just like the notes you record in the app.
Yes. Record with your iPhone close to whoever is speaking, or import a recording afterwards. When you stop, Mangonote writes a summary with the key decisions and action items, and you can ask AI follow-up questions about what was said.
That depends on the model you choose: Whisper covers about 100 languages and Omnilingual up to 1,600. Auto detect follows whatever language you speak, and every language shows how well each model handles it. The app itself is available in 17 languages.
Speech is turned into text on your iPhone, and your audio is never sent to us or to any AI service. For summaries and Ask AI, only the note's text and your chat messages go through our server and OpenRouter to the AI provider you pick: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or DeepSeek. That happens only after you agree, with an anonymous app ID and no name or email. We never sell your content or use it for advertising, and you can turn AI processing off anytime.
Not to record or transcribe. Mangonote comes with a transcription model, so it works offline from the first launch, even in airplane mode. AI summaries, Ask AI and iCloud sync need a connection.
Yes. Share any note as text or share its recording, or export all your notes as Markdown files from Settings. Nothing is locked inside Mangonote.
In a quiet room with a clear microphone, the larger models are very accurate for major languages. Background noise, strong accents or jargon lower that, and you can try another model for your language anytime.
Download Mangonote, record your first note, and watch it become searchable text in seconds, right on your iPhone.
