This year, everything intelligent about your device happens on the device itself — private by design, and fast even with no connection at all.

Overfitting is when the model learns the noise in the training data instead of the underlying pattern — it memorizes examples rather than generalizing from them.

I'll have the pricing page copy ready by Friday, and Tom picks it up for the release notes after that.

One engine, three ways to work

Three audiences. One private device.

The same on-device engine adapts to how you work — cover an event for publication, turn a class into study material, or leave a meeting with its decisions already written down. Nothing leaves your iPad or Mac, whichever way you use it.

FOR JOURNALISTS

Cover events

Organize by event, capture every quote, and file your coverage — from the pressroom or a spot with no signal at all.

  1. 01Organize by event — keynotes, hearings, matches, interviews.
  2. 02Flag quotes as publishable or private as they're spoken.
  3. 03Generate a summary, blog draft or follow-up questions from the transcript.
  4. 04Auto-publish to WordPress, Ghost or Micropub via the Outbox.
FOR STUDENTS

Record classes

Group lectures by school and course, record each session, and turn them into study material you can revise from anywhere.

  1. 01Group by school & course — organized down to each session.
  2. 02Record each lecture — from the mic or your Mac's system audio.
  3. 03Generate study notes, key terms, flashcards and review questions automatically.
  4. 04Export as a document, or share via AirDrop or mail.
FOR PROFESSIONALS

Capture meetings

Group meetings by company and team, pick who's in the room, and walk out with the decisions and follow-ups already written down.

  1. 01Group by company & team — pick attendees from your roster.
  2. 02Record the call or the room — your Mac's system audio, or the mic.
  3. 03Generate a summary, action items and follow-up questions.
  4. 04The audio is deleted once transcribed — transcript and notes stay.
Everything in one place

The whole workflow, from mic to done

Capture, understand, annotate and turn it into coverage, study material or meeting notes — without ever leaving the room, or needing a connection.

Live transcription, on-device

Record from the built-in mic, a directional stage or lecture-hall mic, or your Mac's system audio for an online class. Words appear as they're spoken — timestamped, speaker-taggable, and processed entirely by the neural engine on your device.

Translate as you listen

Follow a keynote or a lecture in one language and read it in another, live. Translation runs entirely on-device: instant, private, and working with zero signal in the room once the model is downloaded.

Your voice, kept separate

Flag a moment the instant it happens, then drop your own note right into the transcript. Every note is marked Publishable or Private — keeping a journalist's reporting apart from a source's words, and a student's own notes apart from the lecture.

Strongest line of the keynote — this leads the piece.

A drafting assistant that runs locally

Summaries, blog drafts and follow-up questions — study notes, key terms, flashcards and review questions — or a meeting summary with its action items. Generated from the transcript and your notes, with nothing ever sent to a server.

Runs locally · nothing sent to the cloud

Publish, or export & share

Journalists queue drafts in the Outbox — PressNote pushes them to WordPress, Ghost or Micropub the second a signal returns. Covering live? Point drafts at a live post and each publish appends a timestamped update while the event is still running. Students and professionals export instead — study notes or a meeting summary as a document, shared by AirDrop or mail.

Why PressNote

Built for the way you actually work

Privacy is the default

Recordings, transcripts and unpublished notes never touch a network. Source protection is built into the architecture, not bolted on.

Offline is a feature, not a fallback

Capture, transcription, translation and drafting all run on your device — once your models are downloaded, they work the same whether you have five bars or none. Only publishing needs a connection.

Reporting and record stay separate

Your annotations are clearly marked and lock-controlled, so a private note is never mistaken for a published quote.

Wherever you capture

From a packed hall to a quiet meeting room

Congested pressroom Wi-Fi, a rally with no signal, a source who insists nothing touches the cloud, a packed lecture hall, an online class on your Mac, a standup whose decisions are forgotten by lunchtime — PressNote was made for all of them. Capture doesn't stop when the connection does.

Because everything runs on your device, your recordings, transcripts and unpublished notes can't be intercepted in transit, subpoenaed from a server, or lost to an outage. What you capture stays with you until you choose to publish or export it.

Crowded pressrooms

No fighting for bandwidth. Capture and draft while everyone else waits on Wi-Fi.

Remote assignments

Cover a rally, a courtroom or a border town where signal simply isn't an option.

Sensitive sources

Reassure a source that their words stay on the glass in your hand — and mean it.

Foreign-language events

Understand and quote a speaker in another language, accurately, in the moment.

Online classes

Capture a remote lecture straight from your Mac's system audio — clean and on-device.

Lecture halls

A directional mic picks the professor out of a big, echoey room full of students.

Online calls

Record a meeting from your Mac's system audio — it captures the other participants, not your own mic.

In-person meetings

The microphone captures the whole room — everyone in it, you included.

From tap to finished

Four steps, one device

01

Prep offline

Download language and transcription models once. A readiness check confirms you're set before you lose signal.

02

Record & flag

Tap record. Watch the live transcript, flag key moments, and drop your own timestamped notes.

03

Generate

Turn the transcript and your notes into coverage — a summary, a blog draft or follow-up questions — study material like study notes, key terms and flashcards, or a meeting summary with its action items. Locally.

04

Publish, export or share

Queue drafts in the Outbox to auto-publish when you're back online, or export study notes and meeting summaries as a document to share.

Multiple audio sources
Built-in mic, directional stage pickup or clean system-audio capture.
Speaker labels
Tag speakers as you go and color-code them to keep long panels and interviews readable.
Continuity Camera + OCR
Snap a slide from your iPhone; the text is extracted into the transcript.
Chapters & flagged moments
Jump straight to the parts that matter on playback.
Blog connections
WordPress, Ghost and Micropub, with auto-publish on reconnect.
Study notes & flashcards
Turn any lecture into study notes, key terms and flashcards, ready to revise.
Export as Markdown
Copy or share clean Markdown or a document into any workflow you already use.
Action items & decisions
Every decision and task the meeting produced — with the owner and date it actually named.
Meeting audio auto-deleted
Once a meeting is transcribed, PressNote deletes the audio. The transcript, your notes and everything you generate stay.

Your next story, study session or standup starts the moment you hit record
