What's inside
Stays out of the way until you need it
One small app for meetings, dictation, and screen capture.
Notch mode or floating bar
On Mac, run it from the notch or as a small floating bar. Controls and the live transcript stay one click away.
Floating bar on Windows
A compact bar that stays on top of your call, with record, pause, and the live transcript.
Automatic meeting detection
It notices when a meeting starts and offers to record. No bot joins the call.
Local video and audio
Recordings are saved on your machine. Nothing leaves it unless you turn on a cloud feature.
Pause and resume
Step off the record for a sidebar, then pick up where you left off in the same recording.
Dictation
Press a hotkey, speak, and clean text lands at your cursor in any app.
Screen recording (macOS)
Capture your screen with audio for walkthroughs and bug reports, in the same app.
Your engine, your keys
Use Apple Intelligence, Whisper, or Parakeet locally, or bring your own Deepgram, OpenAI, or Anthropic keys.
