Nib is a notes app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Press record inside a note and your voice becomes searchable text via on-device transcription. Audio never leaves your device and isn't synced to iCloud. After a meeting, AI turns your transcript and handwritten notes into structured minutes: decisions, to-dos with owners, and open questions. Every AI edit is a highlighted diff you approve or discard. Recording, transcription and search are free; cloud AI needs Pro. No ads, no tracking.

Hi everyone! I'm Yuki, a solo developer at FIVENINE DESIGN, and Nib is the app I've been building.
I take a lot of meeting and lecture notes, and I always struggled with the gap between recording audio and actually having usable notes. So I built Nib: you press record inside a note, and your voice becomes searchable text right on your device — the audio itself never leaves your device and isn't synced to iCloud. On Mac it can also capture the other side of a Zoom/Meet call.
After the meeting, the AI turns your transcript and handwritten notes into structured minutes (decisions, to-dos with owners, open questions). The AI part needs internet, but it runs through my own proxy to no-retention providers, and every AI edit shows up as a highlighted diff you approve or discard. Your notes never train models, and there are no ads or tracking.
Recording, transcription and search are free and unlimited. The cloud AI features need Pro (subscription) or credits.
Happy to answer any questions — and I'm glad to hand out review promo codes on request. Thanks for taking a look!

the privacy-first angle is honestly what sold me here, especially with everything staying on device. one thing i keep wishing for though is a way to quickly pin a speaker's name to a voice so it auto-labels them next time they show up in a meeting. right now i'd have to remember who said what later

Tried it on my iPad and the on-device transcription caught names and acronyms way better than I expected. The diff approval for AI edits is the right call, I never trust a bot rewriting my meeting notes without checking.

One thing that would make Nib even more useful for me is the ability to tag meeting attendees and have the AI auto-attribute to-dos and quotes to specific people throughout the generated minutes. Right now I have to manually fix ownership after every session, and it adds friction to an otherwise smooth flow.

The on-device transcription with audio that never leaves the phone is a really thoughtful choice, especially for journalists and lawyers who need that kind of privacy guarantee.
