Executive summary (for embargo coverage)

Bonfiyah is an iPhone, iPad and Mac (Catalyst) app for recording, transcribing, and acting on real-life conversations. It's built and operated by Bonfiyah, Inc., a Delaware corporation focused on AI conversation memory for iPhone, iPad & Mac. The product launches with three tiers (Free; Pro $14.99/mo for the first 2 months, then $24.99/mo; Pro AI $24.99/mo for the first 60 days, then $34.99/mo), and Pro AI ships eighteen cross-recording AI surfaces the rest of the category does not have: Proactive Notifications, AI Project Context, Compatibility Analysis, Team Dynamics, MBTI Compatibility (Keirsey-Bates), Ray Dalio Pointillist Painting, Mach-IV (Machiavellianism, Christie & Geis), Daily Brief, Bonfire Pulse (weekly self-portrait through the 10 Principles of Burning Man, Larry Harvey 2004 — unaffiliated, fair-use), Founder Insights (weekly six-dimension mirror on operator posture — built for the operator running the company, not for evaluating other founders), Promise Tracker, Truth Layer, Pre-Brief, People Memory, Story Mode + Episodes, Speaker Themes, Project Actions / structured action-item extraction, and in-app Help AI (conversational assistant on every screen, your-data-grounded, with structured tool proposals).

The category context: Otter, Notta, Plaud and others occupy the meeting-bot and dedicated-hardware lanes. Bonfiyah is Apple-native (iPhone, iPad & Mac) and in-person-first, with per-speaker consent management included in every tier — the only app in the category to ship that as a free feature rather than a paid upsell. The competitive validation point is Limitless's December 2025 acquisition by Meta; that acquisition removed the closest direct competitor and validated the always-on-conversation-recording category.

One-liner pitches by angle

  • Tech / consumer angle: "Bonfiyah, Inc. ships the AI conversation app the category leaders haven't — eighteen cross-recording features Otter, Notta, and Plaud don't have, built for iPhone, iPad & Mac with privacy-binding architecture."
  • Privacy angle: "Bonfiyah includes per-speaker consent management in every tier including Free, with automatic redaction of non-consenting speakers on every export — and the privacy policy commits in writing not to train AI on user transcripts."
  • Indie business angle: "Bonfiyah, Inc. is a Delaware corporation building deliberately bounded iOS software — no investor pressure, no quarterly inflection chase. Revenue growth without surface-area sprawl."
  • Legal-vertical angle: "Built for attorneys: client intake with per-speaker consent state, witness prep with cross-recording contradiction detection, deposition review with story-level attorney-client privilege markings on every PDF export."
  • Medical / patient angle: "Patients forget 40–80% of what their doctor says. Bonfiyah captures the appointment, transcribes it, and surfaces the next-steps automatically — with explicit guidance that Bonfiyah is not HIPAA-certified, so covered entities should do their own compliance review before clinical use."

Founder bio

Richard Hearn is the founder of Bonfiyah, Inc., a Delaware corporation he incorporated in 2026. He has been building and implementing software for 20+ years and previously shipped LifeLog360, the predecessor to Bonfiyah, between 2024 and 2026. His bet on Bonfiyah is that the future of iOS conversation-memory software is privacy-binding architecture + cross-recording reasoning, not generic meeting summaries.
