Local-first Mac meeting recorder
Record every meeting.
Nothing leaves your Mac.
Mac Note Taker is a local-first meeting recorder for macOS. It captures your mic and the system audio - both sides of any Zoom, Meet, or Teams call - then names every speaker and writes the summary, all on-device. No bot joins the call. No audio in someone else's cloud.

Why a native Mac app
What a meeting transcript
should have been.
Six things every cloud notetaker pretends are hard. None of them require a bot, an account, or a subscription. Click any card for the deep dive.
- 01
Captures both sides of the call
Mic + system audio via ScreenCaptureKit. Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, Webex - pulled together into one diarized transcript.
- 02
Knows who is who, every meeting
Voice fingerprints recognize the same person across recordings. Name once. Recognized forever.
- 03
Auto-detects the moment a meeting starts
Menubar prompts the second Zoom or Meet picks up your mic. One click, one keystroke, one transcript.
- 04
Bring your own intelligence
Summaries and action items via Ollama (fully local) or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Choose your model. Choose your boundary.
- 05
Calendar-aware speaker labels
Reads the active EventKit invite so attendee names auto-fill. No more Speaker 1 / Speaker 2.
- 06
Ship the artifact, not the audio
Markdown, JSON, SRT, plain text. Copy a quote, drop a summary in Linear, attach the transcript to the calendar event.
- 07
Pick the voice model that fits the meeting
Parakeet TDT v3 by default. Switch to Whisper Large v3 for high-stakes accuracy, Distil-Large for the speed-accuracy sweet spot, or Small.en on 8 GB Macs. One click. Cached locally.
Languages
25 languages.
All on-device.
Mac Note Taker transcribes meetings in 25 languages without sending audio to a server. Switch in Settings → General; the model is bundled with the app.
