Meeting Cue · by The Owlery Works
Presenters get a teleprompter.
Why shouldn't you?
Meeting Cue listens to your meeting, reads the documents you brought to it, and suggests something you can actually say — the question to ask now, the point to make in a minute, the human thing to say to the room. Everything runs on your device.
Finishing final touches. It is not on the App Store yet. The download link will appear on this page the day the listing goes live.
What it is for
The screen the rest of us never get.
Nobody thinks less of a newsreader for reading their lines, or of a keynote speaker for having notes on a screen. Yet the rest of us are expected to walk into a meeting holding a forty‑page specification in our heads, follow a fast conversation, remember what clause 3.3 actually said, and come out with the right question before the moment passes.
Meeting Cue is that screen, for the meetings the rest of us are in.
It listens through your device's microphone, writes the conversation down as it happens, and labels who said what. It searches the documents you gave it — the runbook, the contract, the spec — for the passage that bears on whatever was just said. Then it puts four short things in front of you: what is going on in plain English, the question worth asking in the next ten seconds, the point worth making once you have a minute, and the human line that keeps the room on your side. Any jargon in play is quietly defined beside them.
You tell it who you are — a business analyst, a delivery lead, a contract lawyer — and it writes in that voice, not a generic assistant's.
On an iPhone
Five screens, start to finish.
The meeting shown here is invented — the dialogue, the two participants and the Contoso documents were written for the screenshots. No recording of anyone real appears on this page.
Scroll sideways, or use the arrow keys, for all five.
On an iPad
The same app, given room to breathe.
On a 13‑inch iPad the suggestions and the transcript sit beside each other instead of stacking, and the documents sheet opens over the top of a meeting that is still running. It is one app and one purchase, not a companion.
In detail
What it actually does.
-
Live transcript, with speakers
Text appears while people are still talking, and each line is labelled with who said it.
-
Your documents, searched as you talk
Import PDFs, text and Markdown. The app finds the passage that bears on what was just said — no keyword hunting.
-
Four things you can say
Plain English on what is happening; the immediate question; the strategic point; the rapport line. Plus a plain‑language gloss of the jargon in the room.
-
Written in your voice
Tell it your role and how you like to sound, and the suggestions come out as something you would actually say.
-
Entirely on your device
No account, no cloud, no upload. Nothing is written to disk, and ending a session erases it.
-
iPhone and iPad
In light and dark, one app, one purchase.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your device.
That sentence is meant literally. The speech recognition, the document search and the model that writes the suggestions all run locally, on the phone or iPad in front of you. There is no account, no server and no upload.
Audio, transcripts and suggestions are held in memory and never written to disk; ending the session erases them. That is not a setting to switch on — it is how the app is built, and it is why it is usable in a room where a cloud notetaker would not be welcome.
One thing that is your responsibility and not ours: tell the room you are using it. Laws about recording or transcribing a conversation differ by country and by state, and consent is yours to get.
| Devices | iPhone and iPad, iOS 26 or later, on a device that supports Apple Intelligence — with Apple Intelligence switched on. That is what the suggestions are written by. |

| Languages | English only, for now. The app listens for English and writes in English. |

| Account | None. |
| Stored on disk | Nothing from a session. Your settings and your role description, only. |
