Privacy

Built to know nothing about you.

Recordings capture private conversations. So Notey does all of its work on your device, and has no servers to send them to.

No cloud

Recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored only on your device. We don't have servers that could receive them.

No account

There's nothing to sign up for. Notey doesn't ask for your name, email or phone number.

No tracking

No analytics, no advertising and no third-party trackers. The app goes online only to download its speech and summary models once.

Supported recorders

Does your recorder work with Notey?

The same card-sized recorder is sold under many brand names, so the name on the box won’t tell you much. Check it against the six points below.

Questions

Good to know

Which recorders does Notey work with?

Notey works with a card-sized AI voice recorder sold under many brand names, including DOWAY, Fuallwin, ABVPO and Yunlone. The name doesn’t matter: check whether yours matches. Without a recorder, you can record with your phone's microphone and still get transcripts and summaries.

Can I use Notey instead of the DOWAY app?

Yes. If your recorder is the model described under Supported recorders, Notey can sync, transcribe and summarize its recordings in place of the DOWAY app, all on your phone.

Is there a Mac version?

Yes. Notey runs on Macs with macOS 14 or later, with the same features as on your phone: it connects to your recorder over Bluetooth, and transcribes and summarizes on your Mac. Download it here. The first time you open it, macOS asks you to confirm: go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

Is there a subscription?

No. Notey has no monthly fees and no limit on how many minutes you record or transcribe. Transcripts and summaries are made on your phone, not on our servers, so there's nothing to meter.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only once. The first time you turn on transcripts, Notey downloads its speech and summary models (about 1.4 GB, so Wi-Fi is best). After that, syncing, transcribing, summarizing and playback all work offline.

How accurate are the transcripts and summaries?

They're made automatically and are usually good, but they can miss words or get things wrong, especially with background noise or several people talking at once. Check anything important against the recording.

Where are my recordings stored?

In Notey's private storage on your phone. Deleting the app deletes them, so share or export anything you want to keep first. Your phone's own backups may include them, depending on your settings.

Is it legal to record conversations?

That depends on where you are. Many places require everyone being recorded to agree, especially on phone calls. Please check the laws that apply to you.

How do I get help?
