Coconote is solid for recording lectures, but if you need more from your note-taking app, here's why students are switching to Bananote.
Coconote is built around recording lectures, but studying doesn't stop there. Bananote processes live recordings, uploaded audio and video, PDFs, pasted text, and YouTube links, so every source you study from turns into structured notes, flashcards, and quizzes in one place.
Both apps transcribe in 100+ languages, but Bananote also translates your note content into any language you need. If your lecture is in English but you study better in your native language, Bananote bridges that gap automatically.
Instead of fitting your notes into preset formats, Bananote lets you design custom templates for exactly how you learn. Lecture notes, lab reports, case briefs, meeting minutes: your structure, your rules.
Start recordings from the lock screen widget, trigger actions with Siri and Shortcuts, and find any note instantly with Spotlight search. Bananote fits naturally into the way you already use your iPhone and iPad.
Bananote is privacy-first by design. Your notes are private by default and never used to train AI models. Nothing is shared unless you explicitly choose to share it.
