Terms

Last updated 11 October 2026

These terms cover the Roundnote apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and this website. Roundnote is made by I-DEV B.V. in the Netherlands (“we”); the legal notice has our details.

The apps

Roundnote is licensed to you, not sold, under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, the standard licence for apps from the App Store. There's no separate licence from us. The one addition comes with a model built into the app: the use restrictions under Search by meaning and Gemma's terms.

Prices and purchases

• Roundnote is free to download and transcribes your first 5 meetings for free.
• Roundnote Pro is a one-time in-app purchase: €29 in the euro area at launch, and €39 after that. Apple sets the price in other currencies and shows it before you buy. It unlocks unlimited meetings on the Mac and everything the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps do. There's no subscription.
• Payment, receipts and refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store's terms. To ask for a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple refunds Pro, it switches off again.
• Pro belongs to the Apple Account that bought it, and works on that account's devices through Restore Purchases. It isn't shared through Family Sharing.

Search by meaning and Gemma's terms

Search by meaning runs on your Mac with Granite Embedding, a model by IBM under the Apache License 2.0. The tokenizer that comes with it, which cuts text into pieces for the model, is derived from Google's Gemma, so it comes with Gemma's terms:

• Gemma is provided under and subject to the Gemma Terms of Use found at ai.google.dev/gemma/terms. A copy is in the app, under Settings › General › Acknowledgements.
• You may not use Gemma or its derivatives in Roundnote, or let others use them, for the restricted uses in the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy, or in violation of applicable laws and regulations. That policy is part of these terms by reference.

AI services you connect

If you connect an AI service, a model server, or the Claude or ChatGPT app, or share a meeting with an assistant such as Mistral Vibe or Gemini, that service's own terms and prices apply to what you send it. We're not part of that agreement and have no control over those services.

What you record

Recording a conversation and keeping someone's voice profile can be regulated where you are, and at work there may be rules of your own. You are responsible for:

• telling the people in a meeting that you're recording it, and getting their consent where that's required;
• asking a person's explicit consent before Roundnote remembers their voice, and forgetting it when they ask;
• what you do with recordings, transcripts and summaries, including sharing them.

Roundnote reminds you and asks you to confirm consent, but those reminders don't replace your own responsibility. Roundnote doesn't announce itself in a call.

Transcripts and summaries can be wrong

Speech recognition, speaker recognition and AI summaries make mistakes. A word can be misheard, a sentence given to the wrong person, a voice taken for someone else, and a summary can leave out something important or state something nobody said, such as a deadline that wasn't agreed. Check anything that matters against the recording before you rely on it or pass it on.

Responsibility

Roundnote is provided as described in Apple's licence, which also sets out the limits of our responsibility. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the law, for example as a consumer in the European Union.

This website

The information on this website is meant to be correct, but can be out of date or incomplete; the app itself and the App Store page are leading. Links to other websites are for your convenience; we're not responsible for their content. You're welcome to link to this site.

Apple, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Intelligence, Siri and Spotlight are trademarks of Apple Inc. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, ChatGPT of OpenAI, Gemma and Gemini of Google, Mistral Vibe of Mistral AI, Granite of IBM, Microsoft Teams and Outlook of Microsoft, and Zoom of Zoom Communications. Roundnote isn't affiliated with or endorsed by these companies.

Law

These terms are governed by Dutch law. If you're a consumer, you keep the protection of the law of the country where you live.
