What it does

What was just talk,is text now.

One meeting, start to finish

You don't have totranscribe anything.

Four steps, and none of them is your work: pressing a button, pasting a quote somewhere, hand-formatting a document.

  1. 00:00Press RecordYour mic and your Mac's audio land in the same recording. You can carry on working — the panel stays docked at the bottom of the window.
  2. +0 minThe text shows upThe transcript scrolls in the panel while the meeting is still going, timestamped per segment. Whoever is in the room follows along in text.
  3. When it endsAsk for the summaryApple's on-device model writes the sections and builds the task table, with the exact minute each item came from.
  4. AfterEdit it however you likeThe summary opens as a document: type, select, format, edit the table cells. It saves itself, and the colours stay put.

And after

Small moments,done properly.

  • Search by word

    The search field looks through every meeting's title and summary, not just its name.

  • Rename it

    Straight from the context menu. No odd dialog, no leftover confirmation.

  • Mark the moment

    Every transcript line carries its exact minute, the same one that reaches the file.

  • Highlight a line

    The system highlighter, in whatever colour you like. Colours and highlights survive saving.

  • Fix the table

    Every cell is an editable field. The wrong owner gets corrected in place, not rebuilt.

  • Undo and redo

    ⌘Z and ⇧⌘Z work on the summary, like a real text editor.

  • Regenerate whenever

    The ✨ button writes a new summary — and warns before discarding what you edited.

  • Throw it away

    The meeting and its files go to the Finder Trash together, and you can bring them back.

The whole point

Your meeting is notsomebody else's business.

Not an opinion — the architecture. Listener sends no audio, no transcript and no summary anywhere, because there is no server to send them to.

  • Runs on your Mac

    Transcription is Apple's Speech. The summary is Apple's on-device model. No third-party API is involved.

  • No account, no login

    There is no sign-up, no e-mail to register, nothing tying your licence to a server.

  • Works offline

    Recording, transcribing and summarizing are all local. With the Wi-Fi off, it behaves the same.

  • Real SwiftUI

    No dependency, no Electron, no framework. A native app, wearing the system's materials and behaviour.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. You pay once, there is no renewal and no account to create. The app is yours, and it keeps working without a single network call.

It needs macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, and a Mac with Apple Intelligence — the same requirement the system itself has for the local model. The app checks both and tells you which one is missing.

Brazilian Portuguese today. The interface is in Portuguese and English, and the summary language is configurable (automatic, Portuguese or English) — but transcription itself is pt-BR only for now. It is at the top of the list.

Not yet. You ask for the summary with a button on the meeting and it appears on screen. There is a setting to generate it automatically when a meeting ends, but it is not wired up in the current build — we'd rather say so than pretend.

Not really, yet. The microphone list exists in Settings, but recording uses the system default device. This is a known limitation and it's being fixed.

No. The transcript carries the text and the time of each segment, with no participant names. Apple's transcription does not give reliable speaker identification, and we'd rather not invent it.

Yes. Recording, transcribing and summarizing all run on your Mac. Turning the Wi-Fi off changes nothing.

A native Swift app with no bundled runtime. It costs what the system costs, plus the on-device model while a summary is generating.
