I built SumaFlow Minutes so no one could sell your meetings
SumaFlow Minutes is out of beta, and there's now a Pro tier. Here's why it exists — and why paying for it is the most private thing about it.
I built SumaFlow Minutes for the people who can’t put confidential conversations in the cloud — because I couldn’t find a meeting tool that respected that.
Financial advisors, lawyers, therapists, technical skeptics, and other regulated professionals — people who’d gone back to a legal pad because every “AI notetaker” wanted to upload the room.
If you’re one of them, I’ve gone deeper elsewhere: a Reg BI-friendly way for financial advisors to document client meetings, what FINRA, the SEC, the FCA, and ASIC actually require for client records, and how to keep a faithful record without losing eye contact.
The open beta proved people will trust an on-device tool for conversations that matter. SumaFlow Minutes is now out of beta and live on Google Play, with a paid tier: SumaFlow Minutes Pro. A paid tier on a privacy product deserves scrutiny — so here’s how it works.
The catch, and why there isn’t one
If it records your most sensitive meetings on your phone with no account, the fair question is: how does it stay alive?
Most answers are the problem — ads, analytics, “anonymized” data that isn’t, an investor who needs your meetings to become revenue.
I didn’t build SumaFlow Minutes to sell your meetings. I built it so no one could. Pro is how I keep it that way — paid software with clean incentives, not free software that quietly monetizes you. What you pay for is the absence of all of that. That’s not a side effect of the business model. It is the business model.
What you never pay for
Access to everything you’ve recorded is always free. Your meetings, transcripts, and minutes stay openable whether or not you ever pay; Pro never locks your history behind a renewal. If it lapses, the power tools switch off — nothing you recorded is taken away.
The free tier isn’t a demo: on-device recording, transcription, AI minutes, templates, exports, and the audit log — all free, no account, no ads, no telemetry.
What Pro adds
For people who live in the app — back-to-back meetings, growing archives:
- Higher-quality transcription, plus one-tap re-transcribe
- Audio playback with tap-to-jump transcript sync
- Professional and custom templates — legal, therapy, interview, and your own
- AI faithfulness and detail controls
- On-device full-text search
- Merge and batch export
- Encrypted device-migration backup
Same on-device architecture — Pro adds capability, not exposure. Monthly, yearly, or lifetime. See what Pro adds · Pricing
What touches the network
I won’t pretend the app is sealed shut; you’d check. Two things touch the network, both opt-in or user-initiated, and neither carries your meetings: the one-time on-device model download, and Pro billing, handled by Google Play. No payment details reach us, there’s still no account, and your recordings never leave your phone. Full detail’s in the privacy whitepaper; the privacy-critical code is open source.
I claim no certification — just an architecture you can verify, built to keep client conversations off the cloud and under your control.
Privacy here was never a policy I asked you to trust — it’s the architecture. Pro is how it keeps the lights on without becoming the thing it was built to avoid.
