CleriqIlluminate your
voice notes.
Dense notes ask you to hold a whole meeting in your head. Cleriq raises only what decides something — decisions, your actions, the questions nobody answered — and lets the rest stay quiet. It is what makes a page finishable when your attention won’t sit still.
One 47-minute meeting, rendered two ways: what a notetaker hands back today, and the same meeting illuminated. Same words, same length — the difference is what you can see without reading it all.
Timeline
Dana opened by confirming the November date had already been signed off. Marcus pointed out the schema change landed after that sign-off, so the original estimate no longer holds.
Three. We push to December 5th.
Priya confirmed the revised date lands inside the same fiscal quarter, so the budget is unaffected.
That was before the schema change came in.

Nobody has said who signs it off on their side.
How it works
You hit record. The rest is the work.
Every note runs the same four steps — capture, read, raise, collect. All of it happens on the phone, and none of it asks you to trust it: every raised line taps back to the moment it was said.
Record where it happens
Start it and put the phone down. The audio stays on the device — no account, no upload, nothing sent away to be transcribed.
The model reads it through
On-device, it works the whole transcript — deciding what each passage is, rather than which sentences look important enough to keep.
Only what decides something is raised
Decisions, your actions, the questions nobody answered. About a fifth of the page at most, capped in code — the rest stays quiet on purpose.
Your actions, collected across every note
What was assigned to you gathers into one list, wherever it was said — and each one still taps back to the passage it came from, so nothing is taken on trust.
How it reads
Illumination is the summary, done properly.
A model on your phone reads the meeting, decides what each passage actually is, and renders it through a small fixed set of blocks. Most of the page stays quiet narration. The parts worth acting on are raised — and every one of them can be tapped to reveal the passage it came from.
Three. We push to December 5th.
Fires when a choice is agreed. Raised where it was settled, so the outcome is never buried three bullets into a paragraph.
Send written confirmation before Tuesday’s board.
Fires when a task is assigned. Carries an owner — and when the owner is you, it collects under Your actions. The highest-value block in the set.
Nobody has said who signs it off on their side.
Fires when a concern is raised and never resolved — the thing everybody moved past, which a flat summary loses completely.
That was before the schema change came in.
Fires on something that bites if ignored. Capped in number per note, because if everything is red then red stops meaning anything.
The restraint is the technique. At most about a fifth of a page is ever raised, and the cap is enforced in code rather than left to the model's judgement. Illuminated manuscripts worked the same way — most of the page is ordinary script, and the eye goes to the few things worth decorating.
When the model is wrong, you fix it. Promote a line the model left quiet, demote one it over-raised, recategorise a decision that turned out to still be open, reassign an action to the right person. Every block also says whether Cleriq raised it or you did, and with what confidence — so you are never guessing which is which.
If a passage doesn't fit any block, it stays as plain prose. There is no broken state — the worst case is a paragraph that reads like a normal summary.
Why you can trust it
Tap any raised block. Hear the moment it came from.
Calling something a decision, or calling an action yours, is a stronger claim than a bullet point makes — so it has to be checkable. Every raised block carries a millisecond range back into the recording, and the full transcript stays underneath it.
Cleriq compresses that audio and keeps it — mono Opus at 24–32 kbps, so an hour lands under 15 MB. A block you doubt costs two seconds to settle rather than a scroll through an hour.
This is what lets you stop re-reading everything, which is the whole point of raising anything at all.
It’s being built right now
TestFlight opens in October.
Leave your email and I’ll send an invite, plus the occasional note on how it’s being made — including the five pages I hand-illuminated against Granola and Otter to work out whether any of this was worth building.
No marketing.
