For the conversations around the fire that you wish you could remember.

The conversations you regret losing

Your grandmother told a story at last Thanksgiving you swore you'd remember and now can't. The conversation that night around the fire on the trip with your old college friends — you remember it was great, you can't reconstruct a single specific thing. The bedtime story your child made up that you laughed about for an hour.

These are the conversations Bonfiyah is named for. Around the fire is where stories begin; Bonfiyah is where they live.

How it works for groups

Drop your iPhone in the middle of the table or on a chair near the group. Hit record. Bonfiyah's lock-screen Live Activity shows the recording is on. Speaker separation runs on-device — different voices get their own track in the transcript.

For groups of more than ~6 people, audio quality benefits from a small Bluetooth lavalier or a stereo Bluetooth speaker placed centrally. Bonfiyah works with any input source iOS supports — AirPods, lavaliers, USB microphones, stereo Bluetooth pairs. The recording app doesn't care.

For multi-day trips, you can have multiple recording sessions over days. Speaker profiles persist across recordings (Pro), so "Aunt Mary" tagged in one conversation is automatically tagged in the next.

Story Mode recaps

The morning after, Pro AI's Story Mode generates a narrative recap — the setting, who was there, the moments that mattered, the funny lines as direct quoted audio you can re-listen to. The result reads like someone was paying attention, because someone was: your phone.

Use the recap as the intro to your group chat the next day. Or send it to the person who fell asleep at midnight. Or save it for the family memory archive.

Consent at gatherings

When you record a group, the polite thing is to tell them. Bonfiyah's consent prompt plays a short voice line — your own voice or a generated one — that says the group is being recorded and asks for verbal consent. People who don't want to be recorded say no, and you stop. People who say yes are logged in the consent record.

You aren't covertly recording your relatives. You're saying "I want to remember this conversation later" — and the people who matter to you will almost always say yes.
