Record the appointment. Help the family.
ADVCT records the conversations that matter — medical, legal, financial — and turns them into a plain-language summary and a shared family to-do list, entirely on the phone that recorded them. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share it.
From waiting room to family group chat, in four steps.
Ask first
Consent is part of the app, not an afterthought. A built-in card helps you ask, in plain words:
Record the visit
One big red button. Tag the conversation as medical, legal, or financial and put the phone down — ADVCT handles the rest.
The phone does the work
Transcribed and summarized right on the device: a short plain-language recap, key takeaways, and next steps. No internet needed to process a recording.
The family helps
Action items land on a shared to-do list. Siblings claim them, check them off, and everyone can see things actually get done.
Full walkthroughs — including setting up a parent's phone, step by step — are in the Guide →
Native on iPhone. Native on Android. Equal on purpose.
Families are mixed — one sibling carries an iPhone, another an Android. ADVCT is built separately, natively, for each, and both are held to the same rule: your parent's conversations never touch our servers, because there are none.
ADVCT for iPhone & Mac
On the App Store · one purchase covers both
- Records, transcribes, and summarizes on the device — with Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones and an on-device fallback on every model.
- Family sharing through your own iCloud — invite family from the app; summaries and to-dos sync between Apple devices without touching our servers.
- Face ID app lock — the record stays private even on a shared or borrowed phone.
- Apple's privacy label: "Data Not Collected" — the same label on iPhone and Mac, because neither has a server behind it.
Good to know: works on iPhone, with a full Mac app for family members who'd rather use a bigger screen. Share a summary with anyone by Messages, Mail, or AirDrop — no app needed on their end.
On the App StoreDownload for iPhone & MacADVCT for Android
Sold directly by us · no Google account required
- Records, transcribes, and summarizes on the device — speech recognition runs entirely on the phone (English today; the model downloads once, about 250 MB).
- A license key, not an account — activate on up to 7 devices, deactivate anytime to free a slot. Once activated, it works offline forever.
- Updates itself, respectfully — checks at most once a day, sends nothing about you or your device, and verifies every update's checksum before installing.
- Everything encrypted at rest — the app's database is encrypted on the phone, and the same no-server rule applies: we never see a recording.
Good to know: your license key and the APK arrive by email right after purchase. Runs on Android 8.0 or newer. Not on Google Play — see the FAQ for why.
Direct from usBuy for AndroidPrivacy that's an architecture, not a promise.
Most care apps promise privacy: "encrypted," "HIPAA-compliant," "secure cloud." A promise means your parent's conversations sit on someone else's server, protected by policy. ADVCT makes it an architecture instead: there is no server.
"Your data is encrypted on our secure cloud."
The data is still there. It can still be breached, subpoenaed, sold in an acquisition, or read by whoever inherits the company. The promise is only as durable as the company that made it.
"There's nothing of yours here at all."
Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are created and stored on the phone that made them. There's nothing for us to breach, hand over, or monetise — not because we promise not to, but because we never built the place to put it.
The full policy is short enough to actually read: Privacy Policy →
You can't be in every appointment. Her phone can.
ADVCT is built for the parent who walks into appointments on her own. The app goes on her phone — install it together once (the guide has the steps written for both of you), put her name in, share the record with the family — and from then on her whole job is one tap on one big red button.
You can't sit in the exam room from three states away. But when she records the visit, you get a plain-language summary, your sister sees the to-dos and claims one, and "what did the doctor actually say?" finally has an answer — because her phone did the remembering, and nothing about it ever touched a server. The recording is the help.
The honest answers, up front.
Does my parent need to install anything?
Yes — ADVCT goes on your parent's phone, because the recording has to happen where the appointment happens, and most families can't be in the room. Setup is a one-time job you can do together: install, put her name in, share the record. The guide walks through it from both points of view. After that, recording is one tap on one big button.
Siblings who want to claim to-dos install the app on their own phones — iPhone or Android. Anyone else can still get summaries by Messages or Mail with nothing installed. (And if you do attend visits yourself, you can also keep a record for someone else from your own phone — Settings → Records.)
Do the iPhone and Android apps do the same things?
The heart of the app is identical: record, transcribe, and summarize on the device; family to-dos; nothing uploaded. The differences, honestly stated: iPhone summaries can use Apple Intelligence on supported models, and Apple devices sync through iCloud. Android speech recognition currently handles English and fetches its model once (about 250 MB — best on Wi-Fi); Android activates with a license key instead of a store account. Both sides share across ecosystems through the Care Bundle.
Can we mix iPhones and Androids in one family?
Yes — that's exactly what the Care Bundle is for. Each person uses the app that's native to their phone, and a shared record travels between them end-to-end encrypted, over a folder your family already shares. No one has to switch phones to help.
I'm switching phones — does my library come with me?
Between Apple devices, yes — your own iCloud carries it. Between ecosystems, no: recordings live on the device that made them, and the App Store and our Android store don't share purchases. Family sharing still bridges the two, but a personal library doesn't migrate. We'd rather tell you now than surprise you later.
Why isn't the Android version on Google Play?
We sell it directly. You buy once, get the app and a license key by email, and install without a Google account. The app keeps itself current — it checks for updates at most once a day, sends nothing about you, and verifies every update's checksum before installing. Direct distribution also means no store account is ever attached to your family's medical conversations.
Is it HIPAA-compliant?
HIPAA applies to healthcare providers and the companies that handle data for them. ADVCT is neither — it's your family's own notebook, and your conversations never reach us. Apps that advertise a "HIPAA-compliant cloud" still hold your data on their servers; ADVCT's answer is to have no server at all.
Whatever the app, make sure everyone in the room knows they're being recorded — the built-in consent card makes that easy.
A real person reads this.
ADVCT is made by a small shop, and the person who built it answers the mail. Questions, problems, or something an aging parent's family needs that the app doesn't do yet — write to us.
