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.
Just talk. Your thoughts become journal entries instantly.
One tap to capture. One question to find.
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.
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
Search your own memory. "What did Sarah say about the budget?" Just ask. Circle Back finds the answer in seconds.

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.
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.
Say it. It's on your list.
Every "I'll do that" and "Let me check on it" becomes a tracked task. Circle Back catches commitments you make in conversation—so you actually keep them.

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.
