why I built an offline AI meeting app – Private AI Meeting Notes without cloud storage

Summary: Vital Minute is an AI meeting assistant that operates entirely offline on iPhone, recording, transcribing, and summarizing meetings with AES-256 encryption. It ensures all data remains on the device, addressing privacy concerns in sensitive fields like healthcare and law.

What it does

The app records meetings even in Airplane mode, uses an on-device large language model to transcribe and summarize, and encrypts data locally with AES-256. No information is uploaded to servers or cloud services.

Who it's for

It is designed for professionals in healthcare, legal, and privacy-sensitive environments who require secure, offline meeting documentation.

Why it matters

It eliminates privacy risks by keeping sensitive audio and transcripts entirely on the user’s device without cloud exposure.
