Capture conversations and thoughts
Record a meeting with everyone’s consent, or save a short thought while the context is still fresh.
Kairn
Kairn is an iPhone productivity app that turns consented meeting recordings or quick thoughts into reviewable suggestions for people, tasks, and dates. Users edit and approve those suggestions before saving them to iPhone Contacts, Reminders, or Calendar.
Conversation notes turned into reviewed follow-up
Kairn is an iPhone app for carrying conversations forward into follow-up actions. It turns a recorded meeting or a quick personal thought into suggested people, promises, tasks, and dates, with the aim of helping users remember what they offered and what needs to happen next.
The workflow is deliberately review-based: capture the moment, inspect and edit Kairn’s suggestions, then approve what should be saved. Approved contacts, reminders, and calendar events are sent to the corresponding iPhone apps, while the conversation context remains in Kairn. Kairn is currently presented as a public TestFlight beta for iPhone users running iOS 17 or later.

Practical ways to use Kairn
After a meeting
Record a meeting with consent, then review the people, commitments, and dates that should become follow-up actions rather than relying on memory alone.
Fresh personal notes
Save a thought immediately after an interaction while names, promises, or next steps are still clear, then turn the useful details into approved iPhone records.
Tracking an offered follow-up
When you offer to send a proposal or other material, use the extracted promise and date as a reviewed reminder so the follow-up has a defined next step.
Checking details before saving
Use the review stage to correct names, task wording, or dates before they reach Contacts, Reminders, or Calendar.
