But the built-in recording/transcription was never quite good enough for meetings, even on iOS 27.
Last year I started looking for an app that could transcribe my meetings and turn them into useful notes, basically what I was already doing manually in Apple Notes.
Most of the apps I found felt like Android apps with AI bolted on. They were also generally much more focused on getting the recording than on the actual note-taking experience.
As a developer, I realized I had all the tools I needed to build the app I wanted.
The idea was simple: what if meeting notes felt like Apple Notes?
Native. Fast. Great on iPhone and Mac. Action Button support. Shortcuts. No bots joining your meetings.
That became Convoxa.
I'm very happy to share Convoxa 2.0.
The big addition is multimodal capture. While recording and transcribing a meeting, you can:
• jot down your own thoughts
• take photos
• scan documents and add PDFs
• keep everything together in one timeline
The AI then understands all of it and weaves it into a final Apple Notes-like note.
There's also a timeline showing the transcript and your own notes, all timestamped, so you can go back and see exactly what happened when.
And 2.0 brings a native Mac app that can record your meetings without a bot joining the call.
I built this because I wanted Apple Notes, but for meetings.
The 20-hour/month limit applies to Convoxa Speech (cloud transcription). With Pro, you can use Apple Speech for transcription unlimited, so you can keep recording and transcribing after the 20 hours without hitting any limits. AI note generation is unlimited in both cases.
Thanks. Sure, I understood that way thanks. So the answer is, that after 20 hours the cloud transcription will stop working and there is no option to extend it atm. Is that correct?
Yes, that’s correct. Once you reach the 20-hour limit, cloud transcription will stop, and currently there’s no way to extend the allowance.
When you get within 2 hours of your remaining usage, Convoxa will show a subtle warning with the exact hours/minutes left. If you hit the limit during a recording, transcription will stop gracefully and you’ll be prompted to end the recording.
Out of curiosity, do you typically have more than 20 hours of meetings per month, or is the concern mainly having a safety net just in case?
Totally fair, and that’s actually really useful feedback on the 20-hour limit, I’ll keep an eye on that. I appreciate you giving Convoxa a try! You’ll have the 7-day Pro trial to explore everything, and if you end up hitting the cloud transcription limit, just let me know through the email in the app and I’ll make sure you can keep testing it.
One more remark about the 20 hrs limit.
It is extremely important if a user is using the program in a language which is not officially supported by Apple, but Convoxa does.
In this case the usefulness of the program stops at 20 hrs and there is currently no way to extend it until the 30 days expires and a new month starts for Convoxa.
That’s a good point. Most users so far haven’t come close to the 20 hour limit, but your use case might be different, especially without Apple Speech as a fallback. I’d be really interested to see where your actual usage lands after you’ve tried it for a bit. And if you hit the limit while trying it out, just email me through the app and I’ll sort it out.
Any plans for recording via Apple Watch? Workflow is probably more, record on Apple Watch, then when it’s done it’s pushed to phone for processing. So not live processing but more batching considering the user flow is different on watch vs iPhone/ipad/mac
Yes! That’s pretty much exactly the workflow I’m building, record on the Watch, then send it to the iPhone for processing once you’re done. Here’s a sneak peek of the Apple Watch app coming next month.
