dembrane Go (the mobile app)
dembrane Go is the native iOS app for the person in the room - walking a venue, moving between tables, recording conversation after conversation on a phone. It records locally first, keeps going in the background, and uploads to the same project you’d see on the dashboard. On background-recording resilience it’s actually ahead of the web.
You sign in with your email and password (two-factor supported), into the same workspaces and projects as the web. What you can do still follows your workspace role, and recording counts towards your metered hours.
What it does#
Records, robustly. Audio is captured to the device and uploaded as it goes, so a recording survives a crash or the app being killed - the audio is already on disk. It keeps recording in the background while you do other things, a Live Activity / Dynamic Island indicator shows a recording in progress without the app open, and a live waveform plus mic selector let you confirm audio and pick the input (e.g. an external mic). You can also import an existing audio file instead of recording live.
Read and manage conversations. Open one to read its transcript and summary, generate a title, manage tags, edit, move, delete, and re-transcribe - the day-to-day actions, on mobile.
Ask questions. Ask across your conversations from the phone, with templates, history, sources, and a picker for which conversations a question draws on. Plus fast on-device search to find one without scrolling.
Edit portal essentials. Adjust the project’s title, description and key terms in the portal, and share the QR code off your screen so a participant can scan straight away.
Account. Switch the active project, sign out, and start account deletion (which completes in the browser).
When to use Go vs the web#
| Reach for dembrane Go when… | Reach for the web when… |
|---|---|
| You’re recording in person and on the move | You’re sitting down to analyse |
| Connectivity is shaky and you can’t lose audio | You need the full analysis surface |
| You want hands-free background capture | You’re building reports or a custom library |
| You want to share a QR code off your screen | You’re setting up a project or managing people |
What’s web-only#
Go is a focused recorder-and-reader, not the whole dashboard. These live on the web:
- Library & analysis - extracted topics, aspects and quotes.
- Reports - the multi-section report builder.
- The full participant verification configuration (Go does the host-side essentials).
- Project creation, and all workspace / organisation / team management.
- Billing detail, webhooks, export, and the host guide PDF.
Tip
A common pattern: collect on dembrane Go in the room, then switch to the dashboard afterwards to build the library and report. They share the same data - what you recorded on the phone is already in the project on the web, nothing to sync.
