Notes taken sotto voce. Between you and your iPhone.

Sotto is the first professional dictation app powered by Apple Intelligence on-device. Record, transcribe, and summarize — without your audio ever leaving your iPhone.

Built for the people Otter can't serve

Therapists. Lawyers. Journalists. Doctors. Coaches. Anyone whose work depends on confidentiality the moment the recording starts.

Zero servers

No backend. No API calls to OpenAI or Anthropic. Transcription and summarization run on your Neural Engine.

Professional templates

SOAP, DAP, BIRP for clinicians. Discovery prep for lawyers. Interview structure for journalists.

Airplane-mode aware

Optional auto-disable network at recording start. Visible proof to your client that nothing can leak.

Unlimited recording

No per-minute pricing because there is no per-minute cost. Apple Intelligence runs free, forever.

Export the way you work

PDF, Markdown, plain text. Drop into SimplePractice, Theranest, Notion, or your own filing system.

iPhone, iPad, Mac

Universal app. Your iPhone records, your Mac edits. iCloud private sync optional, end-to-end encrypted.

What's local, what's not

Radical transparency. Here is exactly what stays on your iPhone and what doesn't.

Stays on your device

Audio recordings — stored encrypted in your app sandbox.
Transcriptions — generated by Apple's Speech framework on-device.
Summaries and structured notes — generated by Apple Intelligence on-device.
Search and indexing — local, never queries any external service.
Templates and your edits — local, optionally synced via your private iCloud only.

Leaves your device

Anonymous app open / crash events — required for App Store stability metrics.
Receipt validation with Apple — required to verify your subscription.
Nothing else. No content, no metadata, no transcripts.
