    AI notepad for back-to-back meetings — captures your Mac's audio, no meeting bot.

    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.

    No bot joins the meeting
    Stores transcript, not audio/video replay
