Pinarify AI

Pinarify AI, listed as Pinarify AI: AI Note Taker, is a note-taking and summarizing app for iPhone and iPad by Fazil Butev. It uses AI to turn audio recordings, audio files, PDF documents and YouTube videos into notes, summaries, quizzes and flashcards. Pinarify AI is aimed at students, professionals and other busy people who need to capture and review information from lectures, meetings, interviews or reading material.

A user records audio in Pinarify AI, uploads an audio file or PDF from the phone, or pastes a YouTube link, and the app processes the material. Recordings and audio files are transcribed into text, PDFs are interpreted and summarized, and YouTube videos are summarized without the user needing to watch them in full. The resulting notes can then be turned into study material and managed inside the app.

Pinarify AI's main capabilities are audio transcription, PDF analysis, YouTube video summaries, and the creation of notes, quizzes and flashcards from any of these sources. A Feynman AI mode applies the Feynman technique, in which a learner works through explaining a topic in simple terms, to help users study a subject in more depth. Note management tools keep summaries and transcripts organized.

Pinarify AI is free to download, with All Access in-app purchases listed at $9.99, $12.99, $14.99, $19.99, $79.99 and $99.99. It requires iOS 17.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 17.0 or later on iPad, runs on Macs with macOS 14.0 and an Apple M1 chip, though it is not verified for macOS, and is offered in English and Turkish under the Education category.
