What you get, in the app today.
The privacy label says it all.
That is Apple’s privacy nutrition label. Lucy collects exactly one thing: anonymous crash, performance and usage diagnostics, so that bugs get found and fixed. Nothing you record is part of it. Your audio, transcripts, summaries and meeting names stay on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync (off by default) — then they go only to your own private iCloud. Lucy has no server of its own that could receive them.
- Audio stays on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync
- Transcripts stay on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync
- No advertising, no tracking, no profile of you, no account — ever.
- Anonymous crash, performance and usage diagnostics are the only thing Lucy sends. They are stripped of file paths, meeting names and transcript text, and never linked to your identity.
- Turn on Airplane Mode — Lucy still works. Transcription runs entirely on-device.
Record. Transcribe. Review.
The whole pipeline runs on your device, offline.

Built for professionals who can’t use the cloud.
Therapists and counsellors
Document sessions privately. Because Lucy transcribes on the device and we never receive your audio, no BAA is required for Lucy — confirm your practice’s own compliance obligations.
Lock a session and its transcript and audio are encrypted at rest. No recovery key — only you can open it.
Write your notes from the transcript, not from memory.
Legal professionals
Record client meetings, interviews and case discussions, with every line labelled by speaker and timestamped.
Lock a session and its transcript and audio are encrypted at rest. No recovery key — only you can open it.
A searchable, speaker-labelled record you can export.
Interviews and research
User interviews, journalism, oral history, field research. Record in the room or import the call recording.
Find the quote in seconds — search jumps straight to the moment.
Anyone who can’t use the cloud
M&A calls, board discussions, sensitive interviews, HR meetings. If the recording can’t leave the room, Lucy is the right tool.
No transcription server, no account, nothing sent to us.
Honest about what works best.
Best results with:
- Quiet or low-background-noise environment
- 2–4 speakers with distinct voices
- One language per recording
- Phone within 3 feet of speakers
Transcripts may require correction for heavy accents, technical vocabulary, and overlapping speech. Review flagged lines and speaker labels before exporting.
Pay once. No subscription. Ever.
Cloud transcription apps charge monthly and upload your audio to their servers. Lucy charges $19.99 once, and your audio never reaches ours. See how Lucy compares.

Questions before you download
How accurate is it?
In English, the highest-quality model measured a 5.3% word error rate on public test audio. Accuracy depends on the language, the room and the device; the accuracy report lists every language we measured, best and worst.
Does it work on Mac too?
Yes. Lucy runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac (Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later), and one purchase covers all your devices. On the Mac it records, transcribes and summarises on the Mac itself.
Does it really work offline?
Yes. Once the speech models are downloaded, turn on Airplane Mode — Lucy still records, transcribes and summarises.
What happens after 10 sessions?
Everything you recorded stays yours: you can still open, search, export and sync your sessions. Recording or importing a new session needs the one-time $19.99 unlock. Nothing renews.
Where does my audio go?
It stays on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, it is copied to your own private iCloud. It is never sent to us.
