The default. A free local model through Ollama writes the notes on this Mac. These controls illustrate the app; nothing on this page processes a real meeting.
Sample meeting. Switch the view, or change the AI provider, and watch the line on the right.
Know what was decided and what happens next.
Every note has the same parts. Summary: the main points from the conversation. Decisions: the choices made during the meeting. Action items: the next steps and who agreed to take them. Open questions: the points that still need an answer. Transcript: the conversation text, with timestamps for reference.
Notes are generated after the call ends. How long that takes depends on the recording length, the speech model and the AI provider you chose.

Meeting notes
Yours to keep, edit and check.
Keep a copy you can edit and share
Notes are saved as Markdown files in the export folder you choose during setup. Markdown is a readable text format that works with text editors and apps such as Obsidian. Share a file with a colleague or include the folder in your own backup. If you choose iCloud Drive or Dropbox, that service handles syncing the exported files.
Use the AI provider you prefer
Coach and post-call notes each use the provider and model you set in Settings › Models. Ollama, installed on your Mac, runs a local model with no usage charges. If you choose OpenAI, Anthropic or a custom endpoint, transcript text is sent to that provider under your own account and billed by them. Audio is never sent. If the provider is unavailable after a call, the transcript is kept and you can generate the notes later from the Library.
Review before you follow up
Transcripts and generated notes can contain mistakes. Check important names, dates, figures and commitments before relying on them.
Questions
The ones we get asked about Notes.
Where are exported notes saved?
In the export folder you chose during setup or in Settings › General, organised by year and month. New meetings use the current folder; existing exports stay where they were saved. The app keeps its own record of each meeting in its local storage; the exported file is your copy. If no folder is set, meetings stay in the app and the files are written once you choose one.
What if the notes fail?
The transcript is kept. Fix the provider in Settings › Models, then choose Regenerate notes on the meeting in the Library. Coach and notes can use different providers, but neither can be switched off in this version.
How long do notes take?
They are generated after the call. Timing depends on the recording length, the model and the provider.
Can I edit the file?
Yes, in any text editor, and edits there do not change what the Library shows. You can also edit the summary, decisions, action items and open questions inside NoteHand, which rewrites the file to match; that replaces any edits made to the file outside the app.
For the technically minded
Plain files, so your own tools work too.
Each meeting is one Markdown file with a short front-matter header: title, start time, duration, source app and the models used. Opening it in a text editor or Obsidian just reads the file. Importing it into another app, or letting a sync service copy it, is that app's or service's job. From the terminal, it is text like any other.
