01
On-device by default
Recording, live transcription, and summary review are designed around a local-first runtime so sensitive notes do not need a cloud workflow.

Why HushNote
A recorder that feels trustworthy, restrained, and useful the moment you open it.
The product is not trying to be a generic AI assistant. It stays focused on one clean path: capture, transcribe, summarize, review.
02
Private and quiet
The interface avoids noisy dashboards and exaggerated AI tropes. It feels closer to Notes and Voice Memos than to a meeting SaaS console.
03
Ready to record
The main path is intentionally short: open HushNote, start recording, follow the transcript, and review the session right after it ends.
Workflow
A single clear flow from live capture to structured review.
HushNote keeps the product simple and readable instead of adding extra setup steps, templates, or chat clutter.
Step 1
Record
Start a new recording from the Sessions screen and keep the focus on the conversation, not on pre-session setup.
Step 2
Transcribe
Follow a live transcript while the recording continues, with lightweight speaker hints and key moment marking.
Step 3
Summarize
After recording ends, review a structured summary that is easier to scan than a raw wall of transcript text.
Step 4
Export
Share the summary, full transcript, moments, and original audio after you have checked the result.
Privacy by design
Local-first is the default posture, not a footnote.
No data collected
The App Store listing currently states that the app does not collect data.
No relay backend
HushNote does not require an account and does not run its own summary relay to hold your API key.
Cloud is optional
If you choose cloud summary, you connect your own third-party provider and accept that provider's terms.
