Questions, answered

DayRecall is an AI memory app for Apple Watch and iPhone, made for people who forget things. During the hours you choose, it listens, keeps what was said as text on your iPhone, and answers questions about your day with the exact words and where they came from.

No. DayRecall works best with Apple Watch, and your iPhone can also listen on its own. When both listen, your day is one timeline, and what both heard is shown once.

No. What’s said is turned into text on your iPhone, and the audio is cleared automatically once it’s transcribed. Only the text is kept.

On your iPhone, and in its backup if you use one. There’s no account and no DayRecall server, so we can’t see it. Answers use Apple’s on-device model, and nothing leaves your iPhone unless you choose to use your own cloud API or hand a day to an AI app.

An iPhone with iOS 26 or later that supports Apple’s on-device speech recognition. An Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later is optional, and recommended. Answers and to-dos also need Apple Intelligence; for answers, you can use your own cloud API instead.

DayRecall needs iOS 26 or later, which runs on iPhone 11 and later and iPhone SE (2nd generation) and later. Turning speech into text also needs Apple’s on-device speech recognition, which Apple doesn’t offer on some older models, including iPhone 11 models and iPhone SE (2nd generation), so we recommend iPhone 12 or later. If your iPhone can’t transcribe, DayRecall tells you. Answers and to-dos with Apple Intelligence need iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone Air, or iPhone 16 or later.

Any Apple Watch that runs watchOS 26 or later: Apple Watch Series 6 and later, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) and later, and every Apple Watch Ultra. It needs to be paired with an iPhone that runs DayRecall. Apple Watch is optional: your iPhone can listen on its own.

No. Your Apple Watch holds what it heard and hands it to your iPhone every two hours, or as soon as the two reconnect, for example when you get home in the evening.

Yes. Listening, transcription, answers and to-dos run on your devices, so they work offline once iOS has downloaded the language models they need. Places on the map and your own cloud API need a connection.

DayRecall does its work on your iPhone with Apple’s built-in technology: speech recognition to transcribe, Apple’s translation to translate, and Apple Intelligence for answers and to-dos. Each supports its own set of languages, which Apple decides and expands with iOS updates, and some need a recent iPhone. So a language may be ready for transcription but not yet for translation, or work on one iPhone and not on another. Updating iOS can add languages.

You can choose from English (US, UK), Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Dutch, Swedish, Danish and Turkish. Each works only if Apple’s on-device speech recognition supports it on your iPhone; if it doesn’t, DayRecall marks the language as not supported. The first time you use a language, iOS downloads its speech model.

Lines in your other working languages can be translated into your main language with Apple’s on-device translation, so a pair of languages can be translated only if Apple supports it on your iPhone. On iOS 27, that covers every language DayRecall transcribes; on iOS 26, fewer: Danish and Swedish, for example, aren’t included. iOS downloads each language before its first use. Apple lists the current languages on its feature availability page.

Answers and to-dos use Apple Intelligence, which supports English, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Your iPhone’s language and Siri’s language need to be set to the same supported language. Apple Intelligence doesn’t currently work on iPhones bought in mainland China, or in mainland China with a mainland China Apple Account; there, you can still get answers through your own cloud API, but not to-dos. See Apple’s guide to Apple Intelligence.

The app’s menus and screens come in 13 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. This is separate from the languages it can transcribe.

Yes. Turn on Multilingual transcription and add up to two more working languages: DayRecall follows a conversation that switches between them and transcribes each part in the language it was spoken in. Lines in the other languages can then be translated into your main language.

Set your listening hours once, for example workdays from 9:00 to 18:00. When they begin, your Apple Watch asks whether to start: one tap, and it stops on its own when they end. You can also stop early, or skip a day.

Anything about your day, in your own words: “What did Sam promise me today?” or “When is the report due?” Each answer shows where it came from, down to the line that was said.

DayRecall picks out promises, deadlines and meetings from your day and waits for you to confirm them. Nothing reaches your calendar or Reminders until you say yes.

Turn on Mark who is speaking and read five short cards aloud, about a minute. From then on, your lines are marked Me, and everyone else in a conversation gets a number: Other 1, Other 2 and so on. Your voiceprint stays on your iPhone, and no one else’s is kept. The feature is optional and off by default.

Yes. Hand the day to an AI app turns a day into a text file, with a question you pick, and you choose the app in the share sheet; DayRecall sends nothing by itself. To bring to-dos back, copy the AI’s answer and tap Bring the AI’s answer back.

Yes. Import an audio file and DayRecall turns it into text on your iPhone, like everything else. It works on its own copy, so your original file stays as it is.

Very little. Our in-house ultra-light speech model keeps only the moments when someone is talking. In internal testing on Apple Watch Series 11, listening added about 0.9% battery per hour.

Your watch hands over what it heard about every two hours, and when it stops listening, and your iPhone turns it into text as it arrives. For text sooner, open DayRecall and tap Sync now. In internal testing on iPhone 17 Pro Max, 3 minutes of conversation were processed in 17 seconds.

Only when you choose. With your own cloud API, each question sends that service your question and short matching excerpts of your transcripts. When you hand a day to an AI app, that app gets the text file you send it. Places use Apple Maps, and iCloud Backup includes your data if you use it. The Privacy Policy has the details.

No. DayRecall has no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party code that collects data. To help fix problems, it keeps a log on your devices of what it did, never what was said, for up to 14 days; the log leaves your iPhone only if you share it.

Delete a recording, with its text and to-dos, from its page, or everything with Settings › Privacy › Delete all memories. Delete my voice removes your voiceprint. Deleting the app removes what it stored on your devices; copies in earlier backups stay until those backups are replaced.

Yes. Tell the people you talk with. Some places require everyone’s consent even when only text is kept, so follow the rules where you are; that responsibility is yours, as our Terms of Service explain.

DayRecall is in beta and coming soon to the App Store.

Write to support@dayrecall.com and tell us when it happened and on which device. A log helps most: Settings › Developer options › Logs › Share log.
