Noted
Free; Noted+ subscription unlocks AI Transcribe and other features
Price checked at source August 28, 2026.
A note-taking and audio-recording app with AI transcription added on — over 3 million downloads, and a long-running favorite for lectures and interviews rather than built specifically for meetings.
Our take
Less purpose-built for meetings than Granola, Fathom, or Fellow — Noted started as a timestamped notes-plus-recording app for students and journalists, with AI Transcribe layered on top later. Worth it for the recording-and-note-taking combo across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac with iCloud sync; the paid Noted+ tier’s exact subscription price isn’t published in static page content — check the App Store listing before buying.
