-

Our Verdict

The cleanest no-bot meeting notetaker, held back by Mac-first scope and enterprise gaps.

Pros

  • Captures device audio without meeting bots
  • Templates tailor notes to your workflow
  • Clean, distraction-free UI
  • Fast transcription and summarization

Cons

  • Mac-only for key features currently
  • Privacy model depends on trusting local app
  • Limited enterprise admin controls
  • Price climbs with heavy usage
Best for: Mac-using founders and consultants wanting silent, templated meeting notes. Not for: Windows-heavy teams or enterprises needing strict admin and compliance controls.
