More possibilities. Fewer steps.
Version 2 brings the whole meeting workflow together, from recording or import to finished documents.
Every material in one place
Summary, transcript, audio and technical details live in tabs within each meeting. Search titles, resize the list and copy the text you need.
Ready for the next call
Start a new recording while the previous meeting is processing. The current recording and processing meeting have separate sidebar entries.
Light, dark or system
Choose your appearance in Settings. Both themes cover the workspace, documents, lists and controls.
Help where you need it
Missing a permission, speech model or LLM connection? A short hint explains the next step and opens the right settings. Find the overall readiness check in Diagnostics.
Summaries with your model
Connect Ollama, a compatible API, Codex or Claude Code. CLI settings link to a setup guide, and a chain of connections can fall back to the next one on failure.
Prompts and processing
Choose a prompt, LLM and speaker context for summaries. Configure transcript cleanup separately. Title rules can select the right prompt for each meeting.
Export to your folders
Save summaries, transcripts or both automatically using rules. Choose a folder and filename template while keeping the local meeting materials.
Automation for your day
CalDAV calendar, window watching and a local API. Window presets include Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, FaceTime, Telemost and Kontur.Talk.
From conversation to outcome
One workflow for a live call or an existing recording.
Record or import
Record system audio and microphone into separate tracks. Start manually or automatically, or add an existing audio or video file.
Get the transcript
Your chosen local engine recognizes speech. If setup is incomplete, the app explains the next step.
Keep what matters
Create a summary with your LLM, listen to individual tracks and export documents using rules.

Speech recognition happens on your Mac
Choose explicitly between FluidAudio and whisper.cpp. Recognition settings, model management and technology checks are grouped into separate panels.
- Speaker diarization for meeting transcripts.
- Whisper model, language and Metal acceleration choices.
- A separate microphone settings tab.
- Repeat transcription or summarization from the meeting menu.
Your files and connections, under your control
Audio is recorded and transcribed locally. Transcript text is sent to your selected LLM provider when you configure and run processing. Use Ollama to keep summaries local too.
