Record the conversation.
Tell me again about the lighthouse.
Your grandfather kept the light for thirty years.
I used to carry his supper up in a tin pail.

Some things are worth hearing again
Be there for the moment.Keep it for later.
A talk with someone you love
The stories, the laugh, the exact words. Hear them again whenever you like.
An appointment you need to remember
What the doctor said, in full, findable by any word.
A meeting worth keeping
The conversation, in its own words. Search it later instead of trusting notes.
01 / Record and film
A voice. A picture.One memory.
Tap Hear to record a conversation. Switch to See to take a photo or film while the same audio keeps rolling. Photos and frames sit at the moment they belong to.
Keep listening, even with the phone locked.
Audio records in the foreground and with the phone locked, with a Live Activity while it records. If the camera has to stop, the video ends and the memory continues as audio.
Bring the moments you already have.
Import voice memos, call recordings, pictures and video from Photos, Files or another app. Keep the originals alongside their words.
Video stays on your phone and is included in export. Backup covers audio, text, photos and extracted frames, not video files.
02 / Words on your device
The words are yours, too.
See the words as they are said. The final transcript, the text in a photo, and the words on a filmed slide are all read on your iPhone.
On supported devices, automatic titles and short summaries help you find your way. No cloud transcription. No cloud AI.
03 / Find it again
Remember a word.Find the moment.
Search across transcripts and the words read from images. Open a memory to hear it again, read along, or return to a photo pinned to the recording.
Share a memory as a PDF or text memo. Or export everything as ordinary files, free, without an account. The door is always open.
04 / Backup, with keys only you hold
Safe to keep.Yours to open.
Your private memories are encrypted on your device before backup. The key stays with you, never on our servers. We can't listen to or read them.
Read what we can see →- Made on your iPhone
- Recording, transcription and text from images happen on the device.
- Sealed before backup
- With Pro, your memories are encrypted before they reach our server. It stores ciphertext.
- Opened with your key
- Your Apple keychain carries the key to your devices. Keep the recovery code the app offers in case you need another way in.
We also say, plainly: we can see your email or Apple relay address and which sign-in you used, your subscription and its history with Apple, the devices you signed in from and when, how many encrypted memories and files you have, their sizes, and when they were made, changed or deleted, and the IP addresses your devices connect from. From a file's size we can guess a recording's length. We cannot see titles, words, pictures or sound.
If every device is lost, iCloud Keychain is off and you have no recovery code, nobody can open the backup. That includes us.

Who makes Trunk
Trunk is built and maintained by one person: me.
Chase Kaczmarek
Founder, designer, developer, and support
I design, build, release, support, and maintain Trunk from Escalante, Utah
Cosmic Navel / Cosmic Ashtray, near Escalante. Photo: John Fowler, CC BY 2.0.. Trunk is a one-person software company; when something ships, breaks, or needs explaining, it comes back to me.
I started it because the recorder I wanted did not exist: something that keeps a voice, a conversation, a page or a photo, turns it into words I can find later, and never hands any of it to someone else's cloud. When you write to help@trunkhere.com, you reach me.

Coming to the App Store
For the momentsyou'll want back.
Trunk is coming to iPhone, for iOS 26 and later. A Mac companion for calls and meetings, and an Apple Watch app that starts a memory from your wrist, are on the way.
Trunk is coming to the App Store for iPhone. Join the waitlist and I'll email you when it's ready.
No spam. Removable any time.
Later, and by invitation first: public stories, left at the places they happened, for anyone to watch without an account. Your own memories stay private unless you choose to publish one.
Recording other people
The phone shows that it is recording. Telling the people you are with, and recording only where that is allowed, is on you. The terms say so.
