Zurich, Switzerland, 14th Mar 2026 – Recaid, an independent productivity app built in Zurich, Switzerland, has launched on the Apple App Store. The iOS application combines audio recording, slide capture, note-taking, AI-powered transcription, and intelligent summaries into a single tool designed specifically for professionals attending conferences, events, and talks.

The app addresses a persistent problem in professional knowledge work. Conference and event attendees typically rely on a patchwork of disconnected tools, from voice memo apps to phone cameras to note-taking apps, to capture content from live sessions. The result is fragmented material spread across multiple applications, leading to significant knowledge loss within days of an event. Recaid consolidates these workflows into one application, allowing users to record audio while simultaneously capturing slides, whiteboards, or handouts. All captured media is timestamped and linked to the corresponding moment in the recording, creating a unified session record rather than disconnected files.

What sets Recaid apart from general-purpose recording or note-taking tools is its focus on post-session intelligence. Once a recording ends, the app generates a full transcript and a structured AI summary that identifies key takeaways, decisions, action items, and core arguments. This allows professionals to review the substance of a full conference day in minutes rather than hours, and to extract specific insights such as a speaker’s central thesis, a critical data point, or a recommended framework without scrubbing through lengthy recordings or reading thousands of words of raw transcript.

The application also includes a built-in session planner that allows users to pre-configure their event agenda with session titles, times, and speakers. Recording can then be started directly from the schedule, eliminating setup friction between back-to-back sessions. At the end of an event day, all sessions are automatically labeled, organized, and ready for review. Over time, the app builds a personal knowledge library that is fully searchable, enabling users to retrieve specific content from past events weeks or months later.

Recaid was designed with a deliberate focus on simplicity. The interface is intentionally minimal, built around a single use case: helping people capture and retain knowledge from the spoken word. The app is not a general-purpose meeting platform or a collaborative note-taking tool. It is a focused utility for professionals who attend a high volume of live sessions, including consultants, project managers, students, coaches, journalists, and frequent conference-goers, and who need reliable, structured documentation without splitting their attention between listening and writing.

The app records audio only after explicit user action. There is no background recording, no passive listening, and no ambient capture. All data remains under the user’s control.

Recaid is available as a free download on the Apple App Store. The free tier includes core recording and transcription functionality. Recaid Pro unlocks unlimited recordings, full AI summaries, and advanced features. Further information is available at recaid.app.
