Your interviews, codebook and themes never leave your Mac.
Native Mac software for qualitative research: transcribe interviews on your own machine, code and theme with a real audit trail, and hand your strand to the rest of the ReliCheck ecosystem.

Audio, video, Word documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets of open-ended survey responses. Interviews, focus groups and free-text all enter the same project without conversion.
Quala extracts the audio and transcribes it on your Mac. Observations, media memos and the transcript sit side by side, and the recording never leaves the machine.
Transcription runs through Apple's on-device speech recognition. Nothing uploads, there is no per-minute bill, and no third party holds a copy of what your participant said.
For IRB-restricted and clinical work, "all audio and transcripts are stored locally" is simply true. The data path in your protocol stops at the edge of your desk.
First Read holds the corpus at a glance, the research question, the methodology and a first-impressions memo. Themes stay anchored to the study rather than drifting from it.
Select a passage, apply a code, keep reading. The codebook builds as you work rather than being designed in advance and abandoned by interview nine.
Every code holds its own definition and examples, so a code means the same thing in week six as it did in week one. Drift is the failure mode, and this is the fix.
Group codes into themes and keep the excerpts that justify them underneath. A theme you can defend is a theme you can trace back to the transcripts that built it.
The quote bank holds the strongest evidence ready for the writing stage. The passage you remember hearing is a search away instead of an afternoon away.
ReliCheck Intelligence proposes codes from the codebook you built, on your own machine. It never applies a code by itself. Every suggestion waits for you.
Codes applied, codes changed, memos written. The trail cannot be edited after the fact, which is what makes it worth something when somebody asks.
Reflexivity, limitations, negative cases and member checks are first-class parts of the project rather than paragraphs bolted on at the end.
Nothing is decided for you and nothing is applied behind your back. Every judgement in the project is one you made, and the record proves it.
Written in Swift for the architecture, notarized by Apple, and working offline. It opens fast and behaves like the other apps on your Mac.

Audio, video, Word documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets of open-ended responses.
ReliCheck Intelligence suggests codes drawn from your own codebook. It never auto-applies a code; you remain the coder, and every action lands in the audit trail.
Reflexivity, limitations, negative cases, and member checks are first-class features, and the audit trail is append-only. Your methods section writes itself from evidence.
One click hands your coded qualitative strand to MM Studio for mixed-methods integration.
