aira is a note-taking app with an AI that lives on your phone, not in the cloud. Write notes, embed meeting recordings, capture thoughts. Over time, aira learns everything you've written and lets you ask questions across all of it. Record a meeting inside a note and aira transcribes, identifies speakers, summarizes, and extracts action items automatically
Hey PH. I'm John. I built aira because my notes were useless.
Not that I didn't take them. I took tons. Meeting prep, random ideas, things I told people I'd do. But they'd pile up in Apple Notes and I'd never look at them again. Dead text.
I wanted a notes app where writing something down actually does something. In aira, everything you write feeds an AI that runs on your phone. Not the cloud. On the phone itself. 3 models: transcription with speaker labels, summarization and chat, and search across everything you've written. All offline.
It's a notebook first. You can drop a meeting recording into any note, right next to your prep and follow-up thoughts. aira transcribes, identifies speakers, summarizes, and pulls out action items. But the meeting part is a feature, not the product.
The on-device part nearly killed me. 3 AI models fitting into iPhone memory at the same time, swapping in and out without crashing. Months of work. But it means your data can't leave your phone. Not "we promise we won't look." It physically cannot reach a server. And since there's no cloud cost, core features are free. Like, actually free.
The part I didn't expect: aira gets better the longer you use it. I asked it "what did we decide about the rebrand?" last week and it pulled the answer from a note I forgot I wrote. I've stopped losing track of things I said I'd do in meetings, which used to happen embarrassingly often.
Curious, what do you actually use for notes? Is anyone happy with their setup or does everyone just accept their notes die after a week?
