One app, the whole workflow

Most notes apps start at a blank page. Phrase starts at the source, and carries it all the way.

Capture

Start from the source, not a blank page.

Record on the spot or import what you already have. Processing runs as a visible task, and a note only appears once it succeeds.

Keep the proof close enough to verify.

The original stays attached. Play it back with a live transcript, search any line, and reopen the source whenever you need to check the AI.

Block Editor

A serious editor, not an output box.

For notes that need proof.

A basic recorder is fine when you only need an audio file. Phrase is for when a source has to become an editable, searchable note with the evidence still attached.

User need	Phrase advantageBest fit	Basic recorder or notes app
Turn recordings into usable notes	Records or imports audio, then creates a structured note with transcript, summary, and editable blocks after processing succeeds.	Usually keeps audio and written notes separate, so cleanup and summarizing remain manual.
Verify what AI wrote	Keeps audio, video, PDFs, images, and transcripts attached in Source Viewer so the note can be checked later.	Often leaves the source outside the note, making cross-checking slower.
Edit serious notes	Includes a high-performance native block editor with movable blocks, headings, todos, media, code, formulas, Mermaid, and rich text.	Often gives you plain text editing, a transcript view, or a recorder-only interface.
Create something from the note	Turns source-backed notes into Artifacts: slide decks, pages, dashboards, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps, and small web apps.	Usually stops at text, leaving slides, study tools, and reports to be rebuilt manually in another app.
Act on follow-ups	Can draft email or message updates, create Reminders, prepare Calendar events, and run Shortcuts with approval gates.	Typically requires copying text into other apps and creating actions by hand.
Keep notes private	Stores notes on device, syncs through your own iCloud, and does not keep notes or media on Eversight servers after processing.	Depends on the recorder, notes app, or cloud service being used.

FAQ

Questions before you install.

What is Phrase?

Phrase is an Apple-native AI note-taking app that turns captured source material into editable, searchable, source-backed notes and Artifacts. You can start from recordings, audio files, PDFs, images, videos, or blank notes, then refine notes in a high-performance native block editor or ask AI to create decks, pages, dashboards, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps, and small web apps. Phrase is available for iPhone with Apple Watch companion surfaces today, and a macOS app is in development.

Who is Phrase best for?

Phrase is best for students, researchers, founders, builders, journalists, and professionals who capture lectures, meetings, interviews, voice memos, PDFs, screenshots, or videos and need an AI note they can verify, edit, search, and act on across Apple-native workflows.

Does Phrase store my notes on its servers?

No. Phrase is local-first: your notes live on device and sync across your devices through your own iCloud. Media is processed only to build the note, then nothing is kept on Eversight servers, and there is no separate Phrase account.

Does Phrase have a Mac app?

A macOS app for Phrase is in development. Today, Phrase is available on the App Store for iPhone with Apple Watch companion surfaces. Mac availability will be announced when the app is ready.

Can I edit notes after AI generates them?

Yes. Phrase includes a high-performance, pure-native iOS block editor built for long, mixed-media structured notes. AI can create the structure, but the result stays fully editable with movable blocks, headings, paragraphs, lists, todos, quotes, code, formulas, images, audio, Mermaid, dividers, document links, and rich formatting.

What are Phrase Artifacts?

Artifacts are AI-created outputs generated from your notes: slide decks, pages, dashboards, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps, and small web apps. They live as their own items in Phrase, keep links back to source notes when available, can be revised by asking AI, and can be exported to PDF.

Does Phrase support widgets, Control Center, and Apple Watch?

Yes. Phrase includes Home Screen widgets for notes, lists, todos, and note highlights; a Control Center and Lock Screen recording control that starts a voice note without opening the app; and an Apple Watch companion app with recording, task status, and watch-face complication support.
