Sarah:Okay, so for Q3 the big rock is shipping the mobile app.

Marcus:Agreed. I think we lock the scope to recording and sync, nothing else.

Sarah:Works for me. Let's target the last week of August for the beta.

Marcus:I'll own the timeline and send invites by Friday

Built for meetings

The fastest way from talking to done.

A native Mac app that listens, writes, and organizes — so you can pay attention instead of taking notes.

Bot-free capture

Records the room, not a calendar invite

Note-Taker captures your system audio and mic straight from your Mac — every voice on the call, in person or remote. No bot dials in, no “this meeting is being recorded” banner, no link to paste.

  • System + mic audio
  • No meeting bot
  • Works for in-person too

Loved by people who live in meetings

Less typing. More listening.

I stopped taking notes in meetings entirely. The action items are just… there when I stop recording.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it join my meetings like a bot?

No. Note-Taker records audio directly on your Mac — system audio plus your mic. Nobody on the call sees a bot or a recording banner. It also works for in-person conversations with no meeting link at all.

Do I have to create an account?

No. You can record straight from your browser with no account. Anonymous recordings are auto-deleted within 24 hours. Create an account only if you want to save and sync your meetings.

Where does my data live?

With the Mac app, every meeting is written to a folder on your disk as Markdown, JSON, and audio. Cloud sync is optional and off until you turn it on.

How accurate is the transcription?

We use state-of-the-art speech models with sub-second streaming latency, punctuation, and multi-language support. You always get the full editable transcript, not just a summary.

Which platforms are supported?

The native app is available for macOS today, with the browser recorder working everywhere. iOS and Windows are on the roadmap.

Stop taking notes. Start listening.
