Record a meeting in the room

Plenty of meetings still happen around a table: a project meeting, a client visit, a one-on-one. With the Notulist app on your iPhone or Android phone, you don’t need a laptop or a separate recorder. Open the Record tab, tap Start recording, lock the phone and put it down.

With a connected calendar, the meeting that’s on now is picked for you. Its invitees help Notulist recognise who is speaking, so the transcript shows names instead of “Speaker 2”.

Keeps recording with the screen locked

  • iPhone: the timer shows on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, where you can pause and stop the recording.
  • Android: a notification shows while you record, with Pause, Resume and Stop.
  • A call on the phone (a phone call, Teams, WhatsApp) pauses the recording, and it continues when the call ends.
  • A recording runs for up to 3 hours.

Never lose a recording

The audio is saved on your phone first and uploaded in small pieces while you record. If the connection drops, recording simply goes on, and the upload picks up again when you’re back online. Recordings that are still uploading stay on your phone, even when you sign out. Rather not use mobile data? Let recordings wait for Wi-Fi: an hour of audio is about 30 MB.

From recording to minutes

Once the audio is in, Notulist transcribes the meeting with a paragraph per speaker and a timestamp on every word. It can then write the meeting minutes from your own template and list the action items: who does what, and by when.

More on your phone

  • Upload an audio or video file you already have.
  • Generate reports from your templates and share them as a Markdown file.
  • Mark action items as done; on iPhone, add them to Reminders.
  • On iPhone, say “Start a recording in Notulist” to Siri.

What you need

The iPhone app needs iOS 26 or later, the Android app Android 12 or later. Your recordings land in the same library as those from the Mac app, the Windows app and the browser. Step by step: Record with the iPhone or Android app.

Frequently asked questions

Does Notulist keep recording when my screen is locked?

Yes. On iPhone, the timer shows on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island; on Android, a notification shows with pause and stop. The recording continues until you stop it.

What happens when my connection drops during a recording?

Nothing is lost. The audio is saved on your phone first and uploads when you’re back online. Recordings that are still uploading stay on your phone, even when you sign out.

Can I record a Teams meeting or a phone call on my phone?

Not a call on the phone itself: during a call, iPhone and Android keep the microphone for the call, so the recording pauses until the call ends. Record online meetings with Notulist on your computer, with the Mac app, the Windows app or in the browser. Is the meeting on your laptop with the sound on its speakers? Then your phone can record the room.

Can I upload a recording I already made?

Yes. Upload an audio or video file from your phone or in the web app, and Notulist transcribes it like any other meeting.
