AudioPen for therapists
Keep better notes on every session.
When the session ends, the most valuable observations are still in your head. AudioPen captures them before they fade, and keeps them organized so the next session starts from exactly the right place.

After the session ends
The real insight happens after they leave.
A transcript of a therapy session is not what you need. It would be a record of everything that was said, including the silences, the tangents, and the things that were said only to move forward. What you actually need is what you thought, not just what was spoken.
AudioPen is for the notes that belong in your records. The observations you made but did not share. The pattern you noticed across sessions. The question you want to ask next time. Speak them out after the client leaves and have a structured, searchable record within minutes.
How therapists use it
From session to structured record.
Post-session notes
The moment a session ends, speak through what happened while it is still fresh. What you observed, what shifted, what to follow up on. AudioPen turns it into a clean, structured note in seconds.
Clinical observations
Capture what you noticed but did not say out loud. The things that belong in your records, not in the room. Patterns across sessions. Thoughts you need to carry into the next one.
Pre-session review
Before a client arrives, pull up your notes from last time. Read where you left off. Walk into the session already in the loop, so you can focus entirely on the person in front of you.
The thoughts that stay with you
Capture what you could not say.
Some of the most important observations from a session are the ones that were not appropriate to voice in the room. A concern you want to monitor. A connection you made between something said today and something from three sessions ago. A note to yourself about where the work needs to go next.
These thoughts exist in the space between the session and the next one. AudioPen gives them somewhere to go. Speak them out while they are still clear, and they become part of a record you can actually use.
You decide how much AudioPen reshapes what you say. Keep it light and it preserves your clinical language as you said it. Ask for a full restructure and it organizes a long debrief into something clean and easy to scan. The level of editing is yours to set.
Organized the way you practice
Every client, every session, easy to find.
AudioPen's notes library is fully customizable. Create a tag for each client and every note you record for them carries that tag. Create folders for different client types, treatment approaches, or whatever structure fits how you work. There is no limit to how many tags or folders you create.
Before a session, pull up that client's notes and read where you left off. Walk in already knowing what was said last time, what you wanted to explore, and where the work is heading. Clients notice when a therapist is fully in the loop from the first minute. That trust is built between sessions, not during them.
Handling sensitive notes
Built with privacy in mind.
FAQ
Common questions
- Is this a tool for transcribing therapy sessions?
- No, and that is actually the point. A raw transcript of a therapy session is not what most therapists need. AudioPen is for your notes after the session ends. The thoughts that belong in your records: what you observed, what you want to carry forward, and the things that were not appropriate to say in the room.
- Can I organize notes by client?
- Yes. You can create as many custom tags as you want, so tagging notes with a client name takes seconds. You can also create folders for different client types or approaches. AudioPen's notes library is fully customizable, so you can build the structure that works for how you practice.
- Is client data secure?
- Yes. All notes are encrypted at rest and never shared with other users. AudioPen never uses your notes to train AI models. On Mac and iPhone, transcription can run fully on-device, so audio is processed locally and does not pass through any server at all.
- Can AudioPen write in my clinical style?
- Yes. Upload a sample of your own notes and it learns your phrasing and structure, then drafts in your voice. You also set how heavy the edit is, from a light grammar fix to a full restructure. The result reads the way you write, not the way a generic AI writes.
- Can I capture a thought without my phone?
- Yes. The Apple Watch app lets you record the moment a thought surfaces, between sessions, on a walk, or before you have even reached your desk. The note is waiting in your library when you get back.
- Can I combine notes across sessions into one summary?
- Yes. SuperSummaries let you select several saved notes and merge them into a single document. Useful for building a longitudinal picture of a client's progress across weeks or months. This is a Prime feature.
- How long can a recording be?
- On the free tier, recordings are limited to a shorter cap. With Prime, each recording runs up to 15 minutes. You can also record in chunks and combine notes into one summary later.
- What devices does it work on?
- The web, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android, and a Chrome extension. There is no Windows app at the moment.
- What does it cost?
- There is a free tier. Prime is a one time payment from $99 a year, with no subscription and no auto renewal.
