Quick verdict
Worth installing if you already rely on Fathom or often have important conversations in person. It is still an early release, so expect some rough edges.
Best for Fathom users and professionals who want AI notes from in-person meetings as well as calls

Fathom review
Fathom is known as an AI notetaker for video calls, and this iPhone app extends it to conversations that happen away from a screen. You can record a 1:1, a client visit or a quick hallway chat, and once it ends Fathom produces a transcript with speaker labels, a structured summary and a list of action items. It suits people who already use Fathom at work, or anyone whose important meetings often happen in person.
Day to day, the app works both as a recorder and as a way to look back at past meetings. Before a follow-up you can skim what was said last time, search for a decision or a promise you made, or ask a question about an earlier conversation. Answers link straight to the relevant spot in the transcript, which is quicker than scrolling through a full recording. The aim is to let you pay attention in the room instead of writing notes.
Why we picked it: It brings Fathom's meeting summaries to in-person conversations and connects them with the rest of your meeting history.
Watch out for: The app is very new and has few ratings so far. Always tell people before you record them.
What we like
- Records and transcribes in-person meetings straight from the phone
- Speaker identification for conversations with several people
- Summaries and action items appear automatically after the meeting ends
- Ask questions about past meetings and jump to the exact moment in the transcript
What could be better
- Early version with only a handful of App Store ratings
- Listed with English as the only language
- Most useful if you already use Fathom for your video calls
- Recording people in person raises consent and privacy issues
Questions about Fathom

From the developer: how Fathom describes itself
CAPTURE MEETINGS ANYWHERE. MOVE WORK FORWARD. Fathom is the AI meeting assistant trusted by hundreds of thousands of companies – and now it's in your pocket. Record and transcribe in-person meetings, 1:1s, and spontaneous conversations directly from your iPhone. The moment a conversation ends, Fathom gets to work: generating instant summaries, transcripts, and action items automatically, so you can stay present in the room instead of buried in notes.
YOUR MEETING ENDS. FATHOM KEEPS WORKING. The most important conversations don't always happen on a Zoom call. They happen in conference rooms, on-site visits, coffee chats, and hallway moments. Fathom was built to capture all of them — with the same accuracy and quality you've come to expect from the desktop.
High-quality transcription with automatic speaker identification means every word gets captured, even in multi-speaker conversations. Structured summaries, key decisions, and action items appear automatically. No editing. No manual cleanup.
BUILT FOR THE MOMENTS BETWEEN MEETINGS The Fathom mobile app isn't just for recording. It's your on-the-go command center for everything that happened before, during, and after your conversations.
Refresh on what was discussed before your next follow-up. Surface the commitment you made to a client last week. Find the exact moment where a decision was made. Ask Fathom a question about any past conversation and get an instant answer — with a direct link to the moment in the transcript. Everything you expect from Fathom. Now everywhere you need it.

FREE ON EVERY FATHOM PLAN The iOS app is included at no extra charge – any plan, any tier.
Note: The Fathom mobile app is designed for in-person conversations. Virtual meeting capture (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams) remains desktop-based.
