Hearing Buddy — No One Should Have to Miss What Matters
A hearing buddy is the person in your life who helps you hear — patient, understanding, and always on your side. But your person can't be with you through every interaction. Hearing Buddy is your backup: reliable, supportive, and always there when your person can't be.
Built by someone living with a hearing disability, every feature was designed from lived experience — not market research.
UNLIMITED FREE LIVE CAPTIONS
Most captioning apps charge by the minute, turning an accessibility need into a metered service. Hearing Buddy offers unlimited live captions for free. Every word around you becomes clear text on your iPhone — accurate even in noisy rooms, with accents, and fast talkers.
Everything stays on your device. No cloud processing. Your conversations are nobody else's business.
A BUDDY THAT'S YOURS
Name your buddy. Choose a personality. Each one transforms the entire look and feel of the app while sharing the same core: warmth, patience, and zero judgment.
BUDDY BOOST
Buddy Boost turns any headphones — AirPods, Bluetooth, or wired — into a real-time sound amplifier. Up to +39 dB to lift quiet voices into focus, shaped to your hearing test from Apple Health. Try it free during onboarding.
BUDDY EVERYWHERE
Captions shouldn't live on a tiny screen in your hand. Stream Buddy's live captions from your iPhone to your Mac in meetings, or to Apple Vision Pro during conversations and presentations. Big, readable text — without breaking eye contact with the people in front of you.
APPLE WATCH ALERTS
A tap on your wrist when it matters most. Get instant haptic alerts when someone says your name or asks you a question — no need to pull out your phone. Stay present in conversations instead of worrying about what you might have missed.
QUESTION ALERTS
Missing a question and having to ask someone to repeat themselves is one of the most exhausting parts of hearing loss. Question Alerts immediately surface what was asked, helping you respond in real time instead of enduring another "sorry, what did you say?"
NAME ALERTS
Waiting for your name at the pharmacy, coffee shop, or waiting room? The moment your name is spoken, Hearing Buddy catches it — notification on your iPhone, alert on your Lock Screen, and a tap on your Apple Watch. You'll never miss your name again.
CONVERSATION SUMMARIES
For longer meetings, conferences, and group conversations — catch what was said at a glance without reading every word. Your Buddy summarizes key points so you're never lost.
