Your voice, transcribed on your iPhone
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
Three taps from thought to text
No menus, no formatting, no friction.
Tap and talk
Open Mangonote, tap Start Recording and say whatever is on your mind. Or import a recording you already have.
Your iPhone does the typing
When you stop, Mangonote transcribes the audio on your device, then writes a summary, key points and a title.
Organize and revisit
Search, drop notes into folders, and ask AI about anything you have recorded. Your second brain, in your voice.
Everything a voice note should be
Built for people who think out loud — students, founders, writers, anyone whose best ideas show up mid-sentence.
Record or import
Tap Start Recording and talk, or bring in audio and video files. Meetings, lectures and quick thoughts alike.
Transcribed on your iPhone
Speech turns into text on your device with models like Whisper and Parakeet. Recordings are never uploaded to transcribe them.
AI summaries
A summary, key points and a title for every note, in the style you pick, or from a prompt of your own.
Ask AI about any note
Chat with a note, and let it search the web and edit the note for you. Choose the model: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or DeepSeek.
Folders and search
An emoji and a color for every note, folders up top, and search across everything you have recorded.
iCloud sync
Notes and recordings sync through your own iCloud, so they are on every iPhone and back after a reinstall.
Who uses Mangonote
Anyone whose ideas arrive faster than their fingers can type.
Students
Capture lectures, get instant transcripts, summaries, and study notes you can actually search.
Professionals
Meeting recaps, voice memos between calls, brainstorms that survive longer than the napkin they were written on.
Writers and creators
Dictate first drafts while walking. Polish later in your editor. Mangonote turns rambles into clean text.
Researchers and journalists
Interview transcripts, fully searchable. Ask AI to pull quotes by theme.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers before you download.
Is Mangonote free?
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.
What languages does it transcribe?
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.
Is my data private?
Speech is turned into text on your iPhone, and recordings are never uploaded to transcribe them. For summaries and chat, only the note’s text goes through our server to the AI model you pick, 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.
Do I need to be online?
Not to record or transcribe: once a model is downloaded, Mangonote works offline. AI summaries, chat and iCloud sync need a connection.
Can I export my notes?
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.
How accurate is the transcription?
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.
