Does anything join my call?
No. Natively listens to your computer's audio the same way a recorder in the room would. No participant is added, no recording notice fires, and the other side sees nothing different in the roster.
What leaves my machine?
Audio capture, transcription buffering and the transcript archive stay local. If you are using a hosted model or a hosted speech-to-text provider, the text of the prompt goes to that provider — that is the network boundary, and it is the only one. Point the app at a local Ollama model and on-device speech recognition and nothing crosses it.
Will a screen share show the overlay?
Not under normal window-based capture in Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. There is one common exception — Zoom's hardware-accelerated screen sharing — and a page about it. Verify on your own machine before a call that matters.
Is it detectable?
Against screen-share capture and task-manager process scans, it is built not to be. Against a human watching your eyes, a webcam proctor, or a locked-down machine you do not control, no software can make that claim, and we do not. There is a longer treatment in Is it detectable?.
Can I use it without paying anything?
Yes, in two ways. There is a ten-minute trial with no account and no card. Beyond that, bringing your own provider key means you pay your provider directly and nothing to us; running against a local model means you pay nobody. Free with your own keys covers the setup.
Does it work fully offline?
Yes — a local model through Ollama plus on-device speech recognition, and the network is not touched at any point. Fully offline mode walks through it.
Which platforms?
macOS 12 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel, and Windows 10 build 19041 or later and Windows 11. There is no Linux build and no mobile app.
Where are my transcripts stored?
In a local SQLite database in your user application-data directory, with a vector index alongside it so semantic recall works without a server. You can export any meeting to Markdown, plain text or JSON. Deleting the database deletes the history — there is no copy elsewhere to reconcile with.
Is it open source?
It is source-available, not open source, under the Natively Personal Use Source License v1.0. You can read the code; the licence restricts commercial redistribution. The distinction is worth being precise about, and the licence text is the authority.
