Mac Note Taker is a local-first meeting recorder for macOS. It captures your mic and the system audio - both sides of any Zoom, Meet, or Teams call - then names every speaker and writes the summary, all on-device. No bot joins the call. No audio in someone else's cloud. Six things every cloud notetaker pretends are hard. None of them require a bot, an account, or a subscription. Click any card for the deep dive. Mic + system audio via ScreenCaptureKit. Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, Webex - pulled together into one diarized transcript. Voice fingerprints recognize the same person across recordings. Name once.
