Aila for iPhone
The Aila iOS app is the capture and review companion to the Aila web platform. It gets client call recordings into Aila from your phone — through iPhone's built-in call recording or a Plaud hardware recorder — and lets you review the results anywhere: transcripts, summaries, extracted data, audio playback, contact linking, and MISMO export.
The heavy lifting (transcription, AI analysis, CRM sync) happens on the Aila platform, the same as calls captured on the web. A call captured on your phone shows up everywhere.
Requirements
- iPhone running iOS 15.1 or later. The app also runs on iPad.
- An Aila account. Sign up at withaila.com (opens in a new tab) — accounts are created on the web, then you sign in on the phone.
- For iPhone call recording: iOS 18 or later (Apple's built-in call recording feature; availability varies by region and language — see Apple's guide (opens in a new tab)).
- For hardware capture: a Plaud Note or NotePin recorder (optional).
The four tabs
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Capture | Everything about getting recordings in: the how-to guides, the Plaud hardware panel, and the Add / import call recording shortcut. |
| Calls | Your call list with search and live processing status, and the call detail view (summary, data, transcript, Ask Aila, playback, export). |
| Contacts | CRM contacts with call history, MISMO data review, and FNMA file export. |
| Settings | Your account, organization, connection status, Plaud device management, and sign out. |
Built-in guides
The Capture tab leads with a collapsible How to use Aila section containing screenshot walkthroughs of every flow:
- How to capture a call — the full iPhone call-recording path
- How to pin Aila on your iPhone — put Aila at the front of the share sheet
- How to connect Plaud hardware — pairing, step by step
- Switching from the Plaud app — releasing a Plaud that was set up with the Plaud app first
- A link out to Apple's call recording guide
Two ways to capture
- iPhone call recording — record a call natively on iOS 18+, then share the recording from Notes to Aila. See Capturing Calls on iPhone.
- Plaud hardware — pair a Plaud recorder over Bluetooth; recordings sync into Aila automatically, including hands-free auto-sync the moment a recording ends. See Plaud Hardware.
You can also share any audio file to Aila from the share sheet (Files, Voice Memos, email attachments — anything that shares audio), or use Add / import call recording on the Capture tab.
