BrievaYour meetings, in your pocket
Brieva for iPhone and iPad carries the meetings from your Mac with you: every transcript, summary and set of minutes, readable and searchable wherever you are - including offline. It syncs directly from your Mac over your own network, so your meetings still never touch a server.
All names and meetings shown are fictional.
Pair once, with a QR code
On the Mac, choose Connect iPhone or iPad in Settings; on the phone, scan the QR code it shows. That is the whole setup - no account to create, no email to confirm. You can disconnect either side at any time, and the meetings already on the phone stay readable.
Sync without a server
Your iPhone talks directly to your Mac over your own local network, and the connection between them is encrypted. There is no cloud in the middle, no relay, and no copy of your meetings anywhere but on your own devices. When you are away from your network, nothing syncs - and nothing needs to, because the meetings already on the phone work fully offline. New and updated meetings, including the two weeks ahead on your calendar, arrive the next time both devices are home.
Read the transcript
You're on the train to a client meeting. The notes you need? Back on your desk.
So you try to remember. What did they ask for? What did we promise? Was it Tuesday, or Thursday?
The usual fix: sync everything through the cloud. Up to someone's server, and back down to your phone.
So every client call now lives in one more place. And in a tunnel, with no signal, it may not open at all.
The phone isn't the problem. The detour is. Your notes don't need to leave home to reach your pocket.
The better way: pair your phone with your computer once, and let them sync directly, over your own network.
The phone keeps its own copy. Read it, search it, even with no signal. By the time the doors open, you're ready.
Brieva does this. Pair your iPhone or iPad with a QR code, and your meetings sync from your Mac. No server in between. brieva.app
Reading and searching
- Meetings are listed by day, with a calendar view for jumping to a date, and carry the same colors you set on the Mac.
- Search covers titles, transcripts, summaries and minutes - the search runs on the phone, against the phone’s own copy.
- Transcripts show the same voice-grouped bubbles as the Mac, with the names you gave each speaker.
- See action items and decisions at a glance in each summary, with anything you ticked off on your Mac shown as done.
- Share a meeting’s summary, minutes or transcript from the phone with the normal iOS share sheet.
- On iPad, the list and the meeting sit side by side in a split view.
The iPad split view - again, everything shown is fictional.
Privacy, same rules as the Mac
The app collects nothing - no analytics, no account, no server of ours to send anything to. Meetings on the phone are stored in the app’s own protected storage. Deleting a meeting on the Mac removes it from the phone on the next sync; deleting the app removes everything on the phone.
Getting it
Brieva for iPhone and iPad is free - included with your Brieva licence at no extra cost - and works with Brieva 1.0.5 or later on the Mac. Not paired yet? Tap See an Example on the first screen to look around with example meetings first.
