About Vobbly

Vobbly analyzes meeting audio in real-time to show how well your team shares the conversation. Place your iPhone on the table, and the app tracks speaking time, turn-taking balance, and meeting health — all processed locally on your device.

What it does

Tracks speaking time — See how long each participant spoke
Measures turn-taking balance — Reveals whether the group conversation is balanced or dominated by a few voices
Calculates meeting health score — A single metric for participation equity and conversation flow
Works with hybrid meetings — Captures both in-person voices and remote participants through your speaker
Saves locally — Optionally save session summaries to your device for later review

How to use

Open the app and start a meeting session
Place your iPhone on the table where it can hear all speakers
For remote participants, use your speaker (not headphones)
When the meeting ends, view the analysis and optionally save the summary

Privacy by design — Your audio never leaves your device. All processing happens locally on your iPhone.

We use on-device machine learning to extract only the metrics you see. Raw audio is not stored, transcribed, or uploaded.

Audio processing — local only

Vobbly uses your iPhone's microphone to listen to meeting audio. All audio processing happens on your device. The raw audio is never transmitted, uploaded, or stored on external servers. The app extracts only meeting metrics (speaking time, turn-taking scores, health indicators) from the audio. Raw audio is discarded after analysis.

Optional session saving

When you end a meeting, you can optionally save a session summary (date, duration, participant metrics) to your device. This data is stored locally in the app's sandbox and is never transmitted externally.

Data we don't collect

Vobbly itself does not collect personal information, transcripts, raw audio, or analytics. Audio analysis happens entirely on your device. Note: third-party advertising (Google AdMob) is the one exception — see "Advertising" below.

Advertising

After meetings longer than 5 minutes, Vobbly shows an interstitial ad provided by Google AdMob. To deliver these ads, AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) and use it for personalized advertising and tracking across apps and websites.

On first launch, iOS shows an App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, ads still appear but without personalization. You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Vobbly.

For details on what AdMob collects, see Google's privacy policy.

Permissions

Microphone: required, used to capture meeting audio for on-device analysis.
Tracking (App Tracking Transparency): optional, requested only to enable personalized ads. Declining does not affect any other functionality.

Your rights & contact

You have the right to know what data is collected and to request its deletion. Since Vobbly stores all session data locally on your device, you can delete everything by removing the app or clearing history in Settings.

For ad-related data held by Google, manage it via your Google account settings or contact Google directly.
