Private meetings on Mac

Meeting notes without a bot or cloud upload.

Record from the dashboard, then get a timestamped transcript, speaker labels, a summary, decisions, and action items—all processed locally.

How it works

Two local audio tracks make speaker labels simpler.

1

Open Meetings, start recording, and choose the meeting window

2

TovoType captures your microphone and meeting-app audio as separate tracks

3

Local models transcribe, identify anonymous speakers, and create notes

4

Rename speakers, review the transcript, then copy or export Markdown

Privacy boundaries

Explicit recording, visible state, local storage.

No bot joins

Capture happens on your Mac, without adding a participant to Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, or FaceTime.

You choose the meeting window

TovoType uses the familiar macOS window picker, records your microphone and the selected app’s audio, and never saves screen pixels.

Local processing

Audio, transcripts, speaker analysis, summaries, decisions, and action items stay on your Mac by default. Your first recording starts immediately while a small local speaker model prepares in the background.

Audio discarded after processing

Temporary microphone and system-audio files are removed when local processing finishes, whether it succeeds or fails. Transcripts and notes remain until you delete the meeting.

Speaker separation can be imperfect during overlapping speech or in noisy rooms. Labels start as You, Speaker 2, Speaker 3, and so on; you can rename or merge them. Always inform participants and obtain any consent required where you record.

Dictation first, meetings when needed

Keep the conversation on your Mac

Use TovoType for daily dictation and private meeting notes, without a subscription or meeting bot.
