Start recording with the iPhone Action Button

June 16, 2026

The fastest note is the one you don’t have to think about. This update cuts the steps between having a thought and capturing it — and then brings the finished summary back to you without you asking.

What’s new?

Start with the Action Button

Map Astari to your iPhone’s Action Button and a single press starts a recording — no unlocking, no hunting for the app. It’s the quickest way yet to catch a thought before it’s gone, whether you’re walking into a meeting or just had an idea in the hallway.

See it on your Lock Screen

Active recordings now appear as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. You can see at a glance that Astari is still capturing — and how long it’s been running — without opening the app.

Summaries straight to your inbox

Turn on Auto Email Summary and every finished summary lands in your email automatically. Your notes come to you — easy to forward, file, or read later on any device, without opening the app at all.

Update Astari on the App Store.
