Missed something? Catch up.
Drifted off for a minute? Tap Catch me up during a recording for a quick recap of the last two minutes. The recap isn’t saved.
Works while you record
Photos where they belong.
Take a photo of a slide or the whiteboard and it’s pinned to that point in the meeting. The app reads the text in it on your device, so search finds it too.
Pinch to zoom in later
Know who said what.
Speakers get labeled on their own. Name a voice once and the app recognizes it in later meetings. Read one line aloud and your parts show up as “Me.”
Remembers voices
Find it months later.
Search every meeting by what was said, open the one you want, and play the audio back to hear it again.
Search past meetings
Get the summary.
Decisions, action items, and open questions, saved with the meeting. Summaries run on your device with Apple Intelligence on iOS or iPadOS 26 and a supported device.
Or use your own server
Personal notes.
Keep them that way.
Your recordings and transcripts live on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing gets sent anywhere unless you set it up.
Saved on your device
Transcription happens on your phone.
The app uses Apple’s on-device speech recognition, so there’s nothing to download before your first recording. Want better accuracy or more languages? Switch to Enhanced in Settings → Transcription, which downloads a Parakeet speech model once.
Summaries without the cloud.
With Apple Intelligence on iOS or iPadOS 26 and a supported device, summaries and Catch me up run on your device. If you’d rather use your own server, the app sends it the transcript, and only when you’ve set that up.
You decide what leaves your device.
Sync goes straight between your own devices on the same Wi‑Fi, with no server in the middle. Sending a meeting to a paired computer works the same way. The app tells you what each feature sends before you turn it on.
Coming soon.
Ketchup Notes isn’t out yet. Download links will be here when it launches.
It’ll be free, with optional Pro plans on iPhone and iPad.
Common questions.
Do I need to download anything to transcribe?
No. Tap Record and the transcript starts right away, using Apple’s speech recognition on your device. For better accuracy or other languages, open Settings → Transcription and choose Enhanced. The app downloads a Parakeet speech model once, and after that it works offline.
Do I need a server?
No. Transcription always runs on your device. Summaries and Catch me up do too, as long as Apple Intelligence is set up (iOS or iPadOS 26 on a supported device). If your device doesn’t have it, or you’d rather use your own server, add one in Settings → Meeting Summaries.
Can it translate?
Yes. Open a transcript or summary and translate it with Apple’s built-in translation, which runs on your device. With Pro, the Parakeet v3 model transcribes 25 languages and can translate into yours as you record.
Can I use my computer too?
A desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux is on the way. Once it’s out, you can pair your computer and send meetings to it over your Wi‑Fi.
Where can I get help?
Open Settings → App Guide in Ketchup Notes for a walkthrough of recording, transcripts, summaries, and sync. You can also visit Support or email [email protected].
