Local-first meeting intelligence
Meetings remembered. Attention preserved.
Record, transcribe and shape the important parts of a conversation without sending every word to somebody else's bot.
Built for macOS 26, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.
A calmer meeting workflow
Capture evidence. Add judgement. Leave with clarity.
Recognizing keeps the transcript, the moments you marked and the source material together so the final record can stay grounded.
Live local transcription
Apple Speech produces live text while the recording state, elapsed time and controls remain visible.
Timestamped human notes
Write the context only you know. Notes remain tied to the moment they were added.
Source-grounded records
Transcript, notes and explicit captures can be combined into an overview, decisions, actions, risks and follow-ups.
