Every NoteHand release.

9 September 2026 · Direct download

1.1 · The first direct release

Available as a direct download from this site, signed and notarised by us. Requires macOS 14 or later. This build carries the NoteHand name; the App Store listing keeps the previous name until the 1.1 update is approved.

DICTATION

• Dictation can type the recognised text straight into the app you are using, once you grant NoteHand the Accessibility permission in System Settings
• Your previous clipboard is put back afterwards, unless you turn that off in Settings › Dictation
• If you move to another app mid-dictation, NoteHand will not type into the new one; it keeps the text for Re-insert Last Dictation in the menu bar
• Until Accessibility is granted, the text goes on the clipboard for you to paste, exactly as it does in the App Store build

PURCHASE AND UPDATES

• Unlocked with a licence key bought from inside the app rather than an in-app purchase; one licence covers up to three Macs
• No automatic updater in this release: a new version means downloading the disk image from this site again and replacing the app, and your key stays valid

DATA HANDLING

• The app checks your licence key with api.notehand.io when you enter it and about once a day afterwards; the privacy policy sets out what is sent
• Everything else matches 1.0: audio and transcripts stay on the Mac, and transcript text is sent to a provider only if you choose OpenAI, Anthropic or a custom endpoint for Coach or notes

1 September 2026 · Mac App Store

1.0 (8) · The first release

Available on the Mac App Store. Requires macOS 14 or later. The listing still carries the app’s previous name, BIT Call Intelligence, until the next update is approved.

RECORDING AND TRANSCRIPTION

• Records the meeting app’s audio and your microphone when it detects a meeting in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, Slack or Discord, or a Google Meet, Zoom, Webex or Teams meeting in a browser tab
• Manual recording with ⌘⇧R for anything else, from the microphone
• Transcription on the device with Whisper, in your choice of Tiny, Base or Small English models

COACH AND NOTES

• Coach: suggested questions, open points and commitments during the call, refreshed about every 30 seconds in its own window, using your agenda if you add one
• Notes after the call: summary, decisions, action items and open questions, with the full transcript, editable in the Library
• Coach and notes through Ollama on the Mac, your own OpenAI or Anthropic account, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint

MEETING HISTORY AND EXPORTS

• The Library: every recorded meeting searchable by title, summary and transcript, with rename, tags, reveal in Finder and delete
• Markdown export of each meeting to a folder you choose, organised by year and month
• Regenerate notes or re-transcribe from audio for any meeting; interrupted recordings are recovered on the next launch

DICTATION

• Hold ⌥Space to dictate, or tap to dictate hands-free; audio is processed in memory and not written to disk
• The recognised text is placed on the clipboard for you to paste with ⌘V

SETUP AND PURCHASE

• A first-launch setup covering consent, permissions, the speech model, the AI provider, the export folder and dictation, resumable across relaunches
• Three free meetings and 25 free dictations, then a one-time in-app purchase; App Sandbox, hardened runtime and a privacy manifest

DATA HANDLING

• Audio and transcripts stay on the Mac. Transcript text is sent to a provider only if you choose OpenAI, Anthropic or a custom endpoint for Coach or notes
• The in-app Send Feedback form sends your message to BITSUMMIT, with app and macOS version details for bug reports and logs only if you opt in; see the privacy policy

Availability. The app is also available as a direct download from this site, built from the same source, signed and notarised by us, and unlocked with a licence key instead of an in-app purchase. Its dictation can also type the recognised text straight into the app you are using, once you grant it the Accessibility permission; the App Store build always puts the text on the clipboard. The download page shows that build’s version and checksum. An update carrying the NoteHand name on the App Store has been submitted to Apple and will appear here when it is released.
