Features

📝

Live transcription

See a real-time, timestamped transcript scroll by during your meeting. Captures both microphone and system audio as a single stream using Apple's SpeechAnalyzer, with multilingual support and name-mention alerts.

🧠

AI-powered summaries

Generate structured summaries with key decisions, action items, discussion points, and next steps - in seconds. Pick from built-in recipes (standups, 1:1s, sales calls) or create your own. Powered by Apple Intelligence, a bundled on-device model, Ollama, or llama.cpp.

🎯

Meeting auto-detection

Smart audio device monitoring detects when you join a call and presents a floating alert for one-click recording. Configurable auto-close after 10 seconds.

💬

Meeting Q&A

Chat with AI about what was discussed. Ask for action items, clarifications, or specific details - all powered by local AI with the full transcript as context.

📚

Archive & search

Every transcribed meeting is auto-archived to disk. Full-text search, tagging, and renaming. Audio files auto-delete after transcription; only transcripts persist.

🔒

Private by design

No data collection of any kind. Your audio and transcripts never leave your Mac. Audio is automatically deleted post-transcription. Works offline - the only optional network use is a one-time on-device model download from Hugging Face.
