Your contracts, your meetings, your kid's homework — none of it belongs in the cloud.
InkNote AI Guardian puts document scanning, AI meeting notes, document Q&A, ink-saving summaries and direct printing into one app. The AI runs on your phone, and your content is never uploaded.
Works on both iOS and Android — set your phone on the table when the meeting starts, and let InkNote AI Guardian handle the rest.
Illustration only. The actual interface may differ.
Official teasers — airplane mode on: listen to meetings, read documents, slim & print — fully offline

Most scanning and meeting apps upload your files and recordings to a cloud server for processing. InkNote AI Guardian deliberately does the opposite: every AI computation finishes on your own phone — no processing servers, no telemetry, no tracking.
Two things do use the network, and we would rather name them than hide them: the one-time AI engine download on first run, and your subscription status. Neither one involves your documents or recordings.
Scans and recordings stay on your phone. The cloud account holds only basic data such as subscription status — no recordings whatsoever.
After the AI engine is downloaded once, you can scan, record meetings, generate summaries and print in aeroplane mode. Business trips, client sites and no-Wi-Fi rooms are no longer a problem.
Lawyers, accountants, consultants and healthcare professionals often aren't permitted to upload client documents or recordings to the cloud. An offline architecture removes the upload step entirely, so there is nothing to send to a third-party server in the first place.
Scanner app + voice recorder + translator + ink saver + printing. One subscription covers all of it.
SCAN
Snap a photo and it detects the edges, straightens the page and saves a faithful PDF. You can also import images, PDF, Word and PPT, or share a web page straight in to extract clean body text.
LISTEN
Record or import audio. Offline transcription with automatic speaker separation, then AI structures it into key points, decisions and action items.
GET
Translate (Chinese ↔ English), ask the document questions, get a plain-language explanation, export to Word. Answers come from the document itself — nothing invented.
SLIM
Before printing, let AI trim and summarise so you only print what matters — long documents condense to one or two pages, saving paper and ink.
Automatically finds printers on the same network (IPP / AirPrint / Mopria). Print scans, summaries and meeting notes in one tap, with no drivers to install.
Almost every meeting-notes service on the market uploads your recording to a cloud server. InkNote AI Guardian's Listen runs on your phone, so your recordings never leave your device.

Scan your child's worksheets — AI slims them down for reprinting. Record the whole parent–teacher meeting and let AI pull out the key points and follow-ups. Your child's schoolwork doesn't belong in the cloud.
Scan and file client contracts, summarise client calls, print quotations directly — one app doing the job of three. Your confidential work stays on your own phone.
Five meetings a week and recordings scattered everywhere? The moment you stop recording you get a summary, decisions and action items — print them or export to Word for the team. Nothing leaks.
Every feature upgrade during your subscription unlocks free.

Offline AI puts the entire AI engine inside your phone, so it does ask something of your hardware. We'd rather tell you honestly up front than have you download it and be disappointed:
Full dual-engine: Android with 8GB+ RAM — flagships from 2023 onward such as Google Pixel 8 Pro / 9 Pro, Samsung S24 / S25, Xiaomi 14 / 15, OnePlus 12 / 13, vivo X100 / X200, OPPO Find X7 / X8 — or iPhone 15 Pro and above.
Light engine: also runs on Android with 6GB RAM / iPhone 12 Pro (6GB RAM) and newer — great for document scanning and everyday organizing.
The iOS app is now live on the App Store.
① The first run needs Wi-Fi to download the AI engine (about 2.4GB; the speech model for voice meeting notes is a separate download). Everything after that is offline.
② Mid-range phones handle Scan / Print / OCR smoothly; the AI features (Get / Slim / Listen) are best on a flagship.
③ Speech recognition supports 23 languages and is most accurate in English and Chinese (mixing the two is fine). Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka are not supported yet.
Yes, for your content. Apart from the first Wi-Fi download of the AI engine, scanning, recognition, summarising and printing can all happen offline on your device. Your documents and recordings never go to the cloud. The only thing stored on our side is basic account and subscription status, held on Google Firebase servers in the asia-east1 (Taiwan) data centre and covered by our Privacy Policy — it contains no documents and no recordings. Summarisation also has a cloud option that you choose yourself; only then is the text transcript sent to our servers — audio files are never uploaded.
Absolutely not. Recordings stay 100% on your phone, and the app collects no telemetry. You can even delete the audio afterwards and keep only the notes. If you use Cloud Summary, what is sent is the text transcript rather than the audio; it is deleted once the summary completes and is never used for training.
We deliberately chose on-device models to buy you privacy, offline use and no monthly fee. Document Q&A is built to answer from the document rather than invent; multilingual translation and live translated captions are assistive features, and their output is for reference only. If you need absolute peak accuracy and don't mind the cloud, cloud services remain an option — but for everyday documents and meetings InkNote handles the job well, at a fraction of the annual prices listed above.
Speech recognition supports 23 languages, and is most accurate in English and Chinese (code-switching is fine). Document translation supports 22 languages — English and Chinese work on every engine, while the other 20 need one of the larger AI engines; the lightweight engine covers English and Chinese only. Live translated captions during recording are also available as an assistive feature, with output for reference only.
IPP, AirPrint and Mopria certified printers, which covers the large majority of models on sale. They're found automatically on the same Wi-Fi with no drivers to install, and if nothing is found you can fall back to the system print dialog. Fully verified on an HP ENVY.
The Android version is now live on Google Play in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The iOS version is also live on the App Store, so both platforms are available now.
Download and try everything free for 7 days (no sign-in, no card needed). After that, subscribe in the app — regular price RM150, early bird RM90 for your first year (first 1,000 subscriptions), one price across every market and channel, no codes needed. Billed once a year, and every feature upgrade is free during your subscription; from year two, renewals are at the regular price.
Yes. Like all Google Play subscriptions, it renews once a year automatically so your service isn't interrupted, and Google Play notifies you before each renewal (renewals from year two are at the regular price; the early-bird price is a first-year offer for new subscribers). You can cancel anytime from Subscriptions in your Google Play account, and you'll keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. Cancelling before the renewal date stops any further charge.
Purchases through Google Play can be self-refunded within 48 hours. For App Store purchases, request a refund at Apple's Report a Problem page (reportaproblem.apple.com), reviewed by Apple. Other cases follow each store's refund policy, and you're welcome to reach us through our Facebook page or the support email. Nothing here affects the statutory rights you have as a consumer under Malaysian law.
Let AI read it and trim it before you print.
None of it ever leaves your phone.
