A desktop notepad that captures your computer's audio during calls and enhances your rough notes into structured summaries afterward. Because it records the system's own audio rather than dispatching a bot into the meeting, there's no visible notetaker for participants. Includes shared folders, custom templates, and an AI chat over your notes.
