Ask your agent

Meeting memory for AI agents.

Agents are good at work and bad at remembering what was said on Tuesday. Point them at macnote and they can look it up: search, read the transcript, quote the timestamp.

"What did Anya and I agree on pricing this month? Cite the meeting and timestamp."

"Turn every action item assigned to me this week into GitHub issues."

"Write my Friday update from this week's meetings."

"Which customer calls mentioned the export bug? Quote them."

"Before my 3pm with Owen, summarize our last three meetings."

"How many hours did I spend in meetings last month, per app?"

Tip: add this to your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md

My meeting transcripts are available through the `macnote` CLI (read-only).
Run `macnote help` for commands. Prefer --json. Cite meeting id and [mm:ss].

Eight commands. Every one speaks JSON.

Version and library location

Filters that work everywhere

--since 3d, --until 2026-09-30, --today, --this-week, --last-month, --app Zoom, --with Anya, --title standup. Search ignores case and accents, takes --regex, and --context 2 shows the lines around each hit. Meetings are addressed by a short id or latest.

Read-only

No command can edit, add or delete a meeting. Safe to hand to an agent.

On your Mac

No server, no API key, no account. It reads the library the app already keeps.

Installed with the app

Updates with the app. Settings > General shows where it lives.

Questions

How do I install macnote?

You don't. It ships inside Mac Note Taker 0.2.9.56 and later, and the app puts it on your PATH the first time it opens from your Applications folder. Open Terminal and type macnote help. Settings > General shows where it lives.

Can it change or delete my meetings?

No. macnote is read-only. It opens your meeting library in read-only mode, so no command can edit, add or delete anything, even by mistake.

Does my data leave my Mac?

Not because of macnote. It reads the library on your Mac and prints to your terminal. What happens next is up to the tool you pipe it into: a local model keeps everything on your Mac, a cloud agent sees what you give it.

Which AI agents can use it?

Anything that can run a shell command: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, Gemini CLI, Raycast scripts, a cron job. Every command has --json, so agents get stable, structured output instead of scraping text.

Can I start a recording from the command line?

Not yet. The first version reads only: list, show, search, transcripts, speakers, action items and stats. Tell us what you would automate next.

Is it included in the license?

Yes. macnote is part of Mac Note Taker, with no extra charge and no API key.

Record once. Query forever.

Mac Note Taker records and transcribes your calls on your Mac, with no bot in the meeting. macnote makes all of it searchable from anywhere you type.
