FAQ

Does it send my audio anywhere?

No. Recording, transcription (Whisper) and summarization (a local Ollama model) all happen on your Mac, and no audio or transcript is ever uploaded.

Three things do reach the network, none of them your content: the one-time model download on first run, a check for app updates, and crash reports — which are off unless you turn them on.

Do the summaries need anything installed?

They need Ollama, which is free and runs locally. First-run setup installs it for you if you have Homebrew; otherwise you install it yourself. Without it you still get the full transcript, just no summary.

What Macs are supported?

Requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.

Can it record system audio?

Yes. It captures both microphone and system audio, so it works with any meeting app (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, etc.).

How accurate is the transcription?

It records with Whisper's base model for the live view, then re-transcribes the whole recording with the larger medium model when you stop. Clean audio gives the best results.
