# CraftNote

> AI-powered note taking app for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, and web that captures meetings, lectures, and conversations with bot-free recording, persistent Speaker Memory, full offline support, and 94.92% transcription accuracy across 80+ languages. Free to download. GDPR-compliant with EU data storage in Frankfurt, AES-256 encryption, and automatic deletion of raw audio after 60 days.

CraftNote records meetings directly from your device microphone and system audio—no bot needs to join your call, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and any other video platform (an optional meeting bot is also available). Once you identify a speaker, persistent Speaker Memory recognises them automatically in every future meeting. Notes, summaries, and action items sync to HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio, Notion, Slack, Asana, Google Docs, and OneNote.

## Why CraftNote

- **Bot-free recording**: Captures audio directly from your device microphone and system audio. No bot is required on the call. Works on every video conferencing platform because it operates at the system level rather than integrating per-app.
- **Persistent Speaker Memory**: Identify a speaker once and CraftNote recognises them automatically in every future meeting. The only major AI note taker with permanent voice profiles across all meetings.
- **94.92% transcription accuracy**: Highest score in independent benchmark testing across six different audio types, approaching human transcription quality.

- **Privacy by default**: All data stored on EU servers in Frankfurt, encrypted with AES-256 in transit and at rest, raw audio automatically deleted after 60 days, and meeting data is never used to train AI models.
- **Action item extraction**: Decisions, owners, and deadlines pulled from conversations automatically and ready to assign.
- **Summary to Podcast**: Convert any meeting summary or written content into podcast-style audio for listening on the go.
- **Ask AI**: Chat with any meeting transcript or search across your entire meeting archive in natural language.
