Memo

What Memo is

Memo is an iPhone app that turns voice recordings into notes for meetings, ideas, and other recordings. It transcribes audio and can generate summaries, action items, and email drafts. Its recording workflow can also extract risks, decisions, and follow-ups, while semantic search lets you ask natural-language questions across your notes. Calendar integration can prepare pre-meeting briefs and post-meeting summaries. Memo says transcription supports seven languages; the App Store listing names English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The Free plan costs nothing and includes voice recording and playback, basic transcription, iCloud sync, and five notes per month. Pro costs $5.99 a month and adds unlimited recordings and notes, AI summaries and action items, semantic search, calendar integration, multilingual transcription, email drafts, context analysis, risk detection, and priority support. Memo says voice recordings and transcripts are processed on-device and synced through Apple iCloud, and voice data is never stored on its servers. The app is listed only for iPhone and requires iOS 17.0 or later. Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store and automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

Who it suits

Memo suits iPhone users who want meeting or idea recordings turned into searchable notes, summaries, and follow-ups. Pro may suit people who need more than five notes a month or want calendar integration, email drafts, and other AI note features.

Limits

The Free plan allows five notes per month and includes basic transcription. AI summaries and action items, semantic search, calendar integration, multilingual transcription, email drafts, context analysis, risk detection, and priority support are listed with Pro at $5.99 a month.

Getting started

1. Open https://www.memonotes.app/ or find Memo in the Apple App Store

3. Choose the Free plan or Pro, which costs $5.99 a month
4. Record audio to create notes, or use the calendar integration for pre-meeting briefs and post-meeting summaries

Verdict

Choose Memo if you use an iPhone and want recordings converted into searchable notes and follow-ups. Look elsewhere if you need a platform beyond iPhone or want AI summaries, action items, and unlimited notes without the Pro plan.
