Remember everything you say—privately

No bots joining your calls. No transcripts sent to strangers. Just private, on-device recording that stays on your phone.

Circle Back app interface

Just talk. Your thoughts become journal entries instantly.

One tap to capture. One question to find.

Journal your thoughts

Journal

Think out loud. Get organized notes. Your best ideas happen when you can't type—walking, driving, showering. Just talk. Circle Back turns your stream of consciousness into structured entries with action items.

Record meetings

Meetings

Be present. Not distracted. Stop scribbling while missing the conversation. Record any meeting and get a summary, key decisions, and action items—automatically.

Recall your conversations

Recall

Search your own memory. "What did Sarah say about the budget?" Just ask. Circle Back finds the answer in seconds.

  • Train AI on your conversations
Chat

Your conversations,
searchable.

"What was that restaurant Mike mentioned?" "When did I decide to change the deadline?" "What were my goals from January?" Just ask—Circle Back remembers everything you've said, so you don't have to.

Auto-summaries

Meeting over.
Homework done.

The moment you stop recording, Circle Back delivers a summary, key decisions, and your action items—ready to share or tackle.

Action Items

Say it. It's on your list.

Private means private.

Your recordings. Your thoughts. Your phone. Everything runs locally—transcription, AI, search. There's no server to hack, no account to breach, no company reading your conversations. Not even us.
