Record, transcribe, and summarize with speaker diarization on macOS or Windows. Choose local models or your own API keys. 100% private by default. 100% free.
Powerful features, minimal interface
Everything you need for meeting recording, nothing you don't.
Apple Intelligence on Mac
On macOS 26+, use Apple's on-device AI for transcription and summarization. Windows supports local Whisper models and your own API keys.
Multiple Recording Modes
NOTCH-style menu bar recorder, floating overlay, or full window. Record however works best for you.
Choose Your Engine
Use Apple Intelligence on Mac, local Whisper models, or cloud APIs (Deepgram, OpenAI, Anthropic). Your choice.
Bring Your Own Keys
Use your own API keys for Deepgram transcription or OpenAI/Claude AI. Full control over your usage.
Live AI Chat
Ask questions during calls: "Summarize so far", "What are the action items?" — powered by local or cloud AI.
Speaker Diarization
Color-coded transcripts that identify who said what. Works with Deepgram or Apple Intelligence.
Markdown Notes
Rich notes with Markdown formatting. Auto-generated titles. Copy transcripts with one click.
100% Private by Default
Everything runs on your device unless you choose cloud features. Your data never leaves without permission.
Record your way
Three recording modes to fit your workflow.
NOTCH Mode
Sits in your menu bar. Minimal and out of the way while still fully accessible.
Floating Window
A compact floating overlay that stays on top. Quick access to controls and live transcript.
Full Window
Dedicated app window with full transcript, notes, and AI chat all visible at once.
Bring Your Own API Keys
Want cloud transcription or AI? Add your own Deepgram, OpenAI, or Anthropic API keys. Get the best of both worlds: privacy when you want it, cloud power when you need it.
