Recorder → Nomily AI → Your API Key → Your AI
BYOK voice-recording companion for Vobot V05E, Plaud Note Pro, DingTalk A1, TicNote, Apple Watch, and iPhone imports — ASR transcription, speaker diarization, AI summaries, and local ASR endpoint support.
Nomily AI brings recordings into a native client, transcribes them with a provider you configure, and generates a summary with an AI provider you choose.
This repository is the project entry point. The runnable native clients live in
nomily-ios and
nomily-android.

What is Nomily AI?
Nomily AI is not a hosted transcription account or a shared recording cloud. It is a native companion workflow for recordings and user-configured AI services. The app keeps the choice of transcription and summary provider with the user.
The public repositories provide source for inspection and local builds. Store availability may vary by storefront and version; source commits do not promise device/firmware compatibility or a production service release.
What it does today
- Connects to the V05E BLE recorder workflow, downloads recordings, and manages a local recordings library.
- Imports recordings on iPhone, including recordings transferred from the Apple Watch companion.
- Transcribes live or recorded audio through Azure Speech or a user-operated local faster-whisper-compatible ASR endpoint; Azure transcription enables speaker diarization for up to 10 speakers.
- Generates summaries, titles, and translations with a configured LLM provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- Provides native iOS / Apple Watch and Android implementations rather than a cross-platform wrapper.
Privacy and provider boundaries
Nomily AI is not a hosted transcription account or a shared recording cloud. API keys are supplied by the user and must never be committed. Keep recordings, transcripts, device identifiers, logs, generated configuration files, and access credentials out of issues and pull requests.
| Service layer | Data sent in a configured workflow | Who provides it |
|---|---|---|
| Nomily AI client | Recording library, transfer state, and generated files on the client | You install and operate the client. |
| Azure Speech | Audio for transcription, when Azure is selected | Your Azure account and key. |
| Local ASR endpoint | Audio for transcription, when a local endpoint is selected | You operate the endpoint. |
| LLM provider | Transcript text needed for summary, title, or translation | Your selected provider, model, endpoint, and key. |
The public repositories do not include a shared Nomily AI cloud, a bundled provider account, or a complete self-hosted sync stack. Local ASR and Ollama are provider integrations, not a claim that every product layer is self-hosted.

Advanced: run ASR and an LLM on your own network
This is an optional advanced setup, not a complete self-hosted Nomily stack. Run both services on a trusted computer on the same private Wi-Fi as the phone; do not expose either service to the public internet.
1. Local Whisper transcription
The included reference service implements the exact Local ASR Server contract:
WebSocket port 12300 for live audio and HTTP port 12301 for recording files.
It needs Python 3.10+ and ffmpeg (brew install ffmpeg on macOS, or
sudo apt install ffmpeg python3-venv on Ubuntu/Debian).
git clone https://github.com/Nomily-Ai/nomily-app.git
cd nomily-app/examples/local-asr-server
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r nomily_local_asr/requirements.txt
python -m nomily_local_asr --host 0.0.0.0 --port 12300 --http-port 12301 --model small --lang auto
The first run downloads the Whisper model. Follow the complete
local ASR reference guide, including a
local curl test and firewall notes. For a guided local installation, copy
the English AI-agent deployment prompt
into an agent running on the computer that will host the services.
2. Local Ollama summaries
Install Ollama from ollama.com/download, then download a model:
ollama pull qwen3:8b
# Linux foreground service; bind to LAN only when the phone must reach it.
OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434 ollama serve
If Ollama is managed by its desktop app or a service manager, set its
OLLAMA_HOST environment variable to 0.0.0.0:11434 and restart that service.
This makes it reachable on the LAN; it does not add authentication.
3. Find the computer address and fill in Nomily AI
Keep the phone and computer on the same Wi-Fi, then run one of these commands:
# macOS
ipconfig getifaddr en0
# Linux
hostname -I
If the computer prints 192.168.1.20, enter the following in the phone app:
| Nomily AI screen | Field | Value to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Settings -> ASR providers -> Local ASR Server | Host | 192.168.1.20 |
| Port | 12300 |
|
| Settings -> LLM providers -> Ollama | Endpoint URL | http://192.168.1.20:11434 |
| Model | qwen3:8b (or a model returned by Verify) |
Do not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the phone app: those addresses point
to the phone, not to the computer. The ASR client automatically sends complete
files to port 12301. Allow inbound LAN connections to ports 12300, 12301,
and 11434 only when the corresponding service is running.
Recording input support
| Input | Current source status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vobot V05E recorder | Implemented in both clients | Primary BLE recording input; compatibility still depends on the actual device and firmware under test. View on Amazon |
| Plaud Note Pro | Supported through iPhone audio import | Export a recording from the device, then import it into Nomily AI for library, transcription, and summary workflows. This does not imply direct BLE pairing. |
| DingTalk A1 | Supported through iPhone audio import | Export a recording from the device, then import it into Nomily AI for library, transcription, and summary workflows. This does not imply direct BLE pairing. |
| TicNote | Supported through iPhone audio import | Export a recording from the device, then import it into Nomily AI for library, transcription, and summary workflows. This does not imply direct BLE pairing. |
| Apple Watch microphone | Implemented in nomily-ios |
The watchOS companion records on Watch and transfers recordings to the paired iPhone client. |
| Audio imported on iPhone | Implemented in nomily-ios |
iPhone is an import, management, transcription, and summary client. |
| Other recorder models | Not committed | A model is not supported merely because it can record audio. |
| Android Watch companion | Not published | Do not infer a Wear OS client from the Android app source. |
See the expandable device compatibility matrix before assuming a recorder model is supported.
Apple Watch companion
After Nomily AI is installed on the paired iPhone, install its Watch companion:
- Open the Watch app on iPhone and scroll to Available Apps.
- Find Nomily AI and tap Install.
- In Nomily AI on iPhone, open Settings → Apple Watch and confirm it shows Installed.
- Open Nomily AI on Apple Watch and record when V05E is not with you. The recording syncs to the iPhone Nomily AI app for transcription, organization, and summaries.
| Install from Watch App | Confirm in Nomily AI settings | Record on Apple Watch |
