Your privacy-first AI notetaker.
Sync your voice recorder and Notey writes up every recording as a transcript and summary. It all happens on your phone, with no cloud, no subscription and no limit on minutes.
Privacy
Built to know nothing about you.
Recordings capture private conversations. So Notey does all of its work on your device, and has no servers to send them to.
No cloud
Recordings, transcripts and summaries are stored only on your device. We don't have servers that could receive them.
No account
There's nothing to sign up for. Notey doesn't ask for your name, email or phone number.
No tracking
No analytics, no advertising and no third-party trackers. The app goes online only to download its speech and summary models once.
Supported recorders
Does your recorder work with Notey?
The same card-sized recorder is sold under many brand names, so the name on the box won’t tell you much. Check it against the six points below.
Check your recorder
- Card-sized metal body. Thin, about the size of a credit card (roughly 89 × 55 mm).
- A dark screen in the top corner that lights up with the time and recording status.
- A round button and a small slide switch next to the screen.
- Four screws and a small oval window on the back.
- A label reading “Model: FW920” followed by a letter, such as FW920B or FW920E, or “Model: Z01”. In the US, the box or label may also show FCC ID 2BO47-FW920.
- A four-pin magnetic charging connector at the bottom of the back.

Questions
Good to know
Which recorders does Notey work with?
Notey works with a card-sized AI voice recorder sold under many brand names, including DOWAY, Fuallwin, ABVPO and Yunlone. The name doesn’t matter: check whether yours matches. Without a recorder, you can record with your phone's microphone and still get transcripts and summaries.
Can I use Notey instead of the DOWAY app?
Yes. If your recorder is the model described under Supported recorders, Notey can sync, transcribe and summarize its recordings in place of the DOWAY app, all on your phone.
Is there a Mac version?
Yes. Notey runs on Macs with macOS 14 or later, with the same features as on your phone: it connects to your recorder over Bluetooth, and transcribes and summarizes on your Mac. On a wide window, your recordings and the one you're reading sit side by side.
Is there a subscription?
No. Notey has no monthly fees and no limit on how many minutes you record or transcribe. Transcripts and summaries are made on your phone, not on our servers, so there's nothing to meter.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only once. The first time you turn on transcripts, Notey downloads its speech and summary models (about 1.4 GB, so Wi-Fi is best). After that, syncing, transcribing, summarizing and playback all work offline.
How accurate are the transcripts and summaries?
They're made automatically and are usually good, but they can miss words or get things wrong, especially with background noise or several people talking at once. Check anything important against the recording.
Where are my recordings stored?
In Notey's private storage on your phone. Deleting the app deletes them, so share or export anything you want to keep first. Your phone's own backups may include them, depending on your settings.
Is it legal to record conversations?
That depends on where you are. Many places require everyone being recorded to agree, especially on phone calls. Please check the laws that apply to you.
