Everything runs on your device
Transcription, AI chat, semantic search, and study tools. All processing happens locally on your Mac and iPhone. No cloud required. No data uploaded.
Recording
Crash-safe recording
Audio is saved in 30-second chunks. Even if the app crashes, you lose at most half a minute of recording.
Live Activities
See recording status on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Know it's still running without opening the app.
Bookmarks
Tap to mark important moments while recording. Jump back to them later when reviewing.
Background recording
Keep recording while using other apps. The lecture doesn't stop when you check a text.
Audio quality warnings
Real-time alerts if audio quality drops. Fix problems before a 2-hour lecture ends.
Import from anywhere
Drag and drop audio files, use the share sheet, or import from Files. Process recordings from any source.
Transcription
On-device processing
Apple Speech or Whisper-based transcription runs entirely on your device. Audio never leaves your phone or Mac.
Speaker diarization
Automatic speaker identification. Know who said what without manual labeling.
Multi-language support
Transcribe in 25+ languages. Works with accents and code-switching.
Draft + final workflow
Get a quick draft transcript immediately. Mac can process a higher-quality final version.
Speaker aliases
Name your speakers once. Verba remembers and applies labels across recordings.
Timestamp precision
Word-level timestamps let you jump to the exact moment, not just the approximate minute.
AI & Search
On-device AI chat
Ask questions about your recordings. Get answers grounded in what was actually said, with citations.
Semantic search
Find concepts even when you don't remember the exact words. "That thing about equilibrium" works.
Cross-recording search
Search across all your recordings at once. Find every time anyone mentioned a topic.
Timestamped citations
Every AI answer includes timestamps. Tap to hear the source and verify the quote.
Mac-upgraded answers
Get fast answers on iPhone, then see improved responses when your Mac processes the recording.
Context-aware queries
"What did the professor say about this?" understands "this" based on what you're viewing.
Study Tools
Auto-generated summaries
Get the key points from any recording without reading the full transcript.
Flashcard generation
Verba creates flashcards from your professor's actual words. Study what was taught.

Portable sessions
