Recado

Recado is a notes app for your phone that keeps notes, checklists, reminders and voice recordings in one place. When you are signed in, it turns each recording into a transcript with a summary and action items.

• Notes and checklists

  Write notes with headings, bold text, lists and links, or keep a checklist that moves ticked items to the bottom. Sort them with folders, tags, colours and pins, and attach photos and files.

• Reminders that repeat

  Set a reminder on a note, on a checklist item or by itself, with daily, weekly, monthly or custom repeats. Reminders ring offline, can be snoozed, and a morning digest lists what is due today.

• Record conversations

  Tap the microphone, confirm that everyone agreed, and record. You can pause, bookmark a moment, and keep recording with the screen off.

• Transcript and notes

  When you are signed in, each recording gets a transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, plus a summary, decisions, action items and open questions. Transcription covers Telugu, Hindi and Indian English.

• Play and correct

  Tap a line of the transcript to hear the recording from that point. Rename a speaker, merge two speaker labels or change who said a line.

• Review action items

  Approve, edit or reject each action item found in a recording. An approved item with a due date becomes a reminder linked to that moment in the recording.

• Search on the phone

  Search notes, checklist items, transcripts and reminders. Search runs on the phone, so it works offline.

• Sync across phones

  Sign in to back up notes, checklists, reminders and transcripts to your Clave account and see them on your other phones. If the same note was edited on two phones, Recado keeps both and marks one as a conflict copy.

• Share a note

  Send a note as text to any app, or create a web link that shows a read-only snapshot of the note. You can stop all links to a note at any time.

1. (01)Choose your languages

   When you first open the app, pick the languages you speak from Telugu, Hindi and Indian English. Recado uses them when it transcribes your recordings.

2. (02)Sign in or skip

   Continue with Google or with a code sent to your email to back up and sync your notes. You can also keep notes on this phone only and sign in later from the Me tab.

3. (03)Write a note or checklist

   Tap New note on the home screen and choose a note, a checklist or a reminder. Text saves as you type.

4. (04)Record a conversation

   Tap the microphone, confirm that everyone agreed, and start. When you stop, the recording appears on the home screen as a conversation.

5. (05)Review the notes

   If you are signed in, Recado uploads a copy and notifies you when the transcript and notes are ready. Open the conversation to read the summary, play any line and approve the action items you want as reminders.

  Telugu, Hindi and Indian English. You pick your languages when you first open the app, and the summary and notes are written in English.
