One purchase covers every Apple device you own. Turn on sync and your transcripts, summaries, collections and speaker names follow you through your own iCloud, where we cannot see them.
Type with your voice, anywhere on iOS.
- A system-wide voice keyboard: dictate in any app with push-to-talk and AI rewrite.
- Import audio from WhatsApp, Voice Memos, or Files and it transcribes in the background.
- Ask AI about any recording, with answers that cite their source lines.
Capture on Apple Watch
Tap record on your wrist in a meeting or on a walk. The audio is sent to your iPhone on its own.
Transcribe on iPhone
Your iPhone transcribes it in the background, names the speakers it already knows, and files it in your library.
Finish on your Mac
Open the same transcript on your Mac, ask AI about it, and export it as Markdown, PDF or DOCX.
Buy once, use everywhere. Sync is optional and off until you turn it on; audio stays on the device that recorded it unless you choose to sync it too.

Questions, answered.
Is my data really private?
ThinkScribe has no account, and your audio and transcripts are never sent to us. Transcription runs on your device. Features provided by Apple, such as Apple Intelligence, Translation and iCloud sync, are processed by Apple under Apple's privacy terms. The app sends us only crash reports and usage counts, never your audio, transcripts or any other content, and you can turn that off in Settings ▸ Privacy.
Does ThinkScribe work offline?
After the initial model download during setup, recording and transcription work without any internet connection. With the built-in ThinkScribe AI model, summaries work offline too.
Is there a one-time purchase instead of a subscription?
Yes. Lifetime is $199.99: one payment, no subscription. It permanently unlocks all Pro features of the ThinkScribe apps on supported Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch), including updates to those apps. If we ever release a major new product line, such as hardware companions or a separate next-generation app, it may be sold separately, but everything included in your Lifetime purchase stays yours.
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
ThinkScribe is free to download, and you can try every Pro feature a few times for free. Pro removes the limits: monthly ($9.99/mo), annual ($79.99/year), or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($199.99). New subscribers get 50% off the first year ($39.99). One purchase works on all your Apple devices.
Can I record system audio from Zoom, Teams, etc.?
Yes. On Mac, ThinkScribe records the sound of the apps you pick, with no extra audio driver to install. You can record system audio, microphone audio, or both simultaneously with echo cancellation, perfect for capturing both sides of a meeting.
Does one subscription work on all devices?
Yes. ThinkScribe uses universal product IDs, subscribe once and your Pro access works on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch automatically through your Apple ID.
Do my transcripts sync between my iPhone, iPad and Mac?
Yes, when you want them to. Turn on sync in Settings and your transcripts, summaries, collections and speaker names sync through your own iCloud account, which we cannot read. Sync is off by default, and audio recordings stay on the device that made them unless you also turn on audio sync.
What languages are supported?
ThinkScribe transcribes 90+ languages. The language menu lists 28, or the app can detect the language for you; some languages need an optional download. The app itself is available in 13 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese.
Can I use ThinkScribe on an Intel Mac?
Unfortunately, no. ThinkScribe requires Apple Silicon (M1 or later) for the on-device machine learning capabilities. Intel Macs do not have the Neural Engine required for fast on-device transcription.
