Use case
Mac users who need meeting minutes—consultants, salespeople, project managers—facing discussions too sensitive to upload, wanting usable meeting notes during or right after the meeting.
Today they use cloud transcription tools like Otter or Fireflies, or take manual notes where allowed and reconstruct minutes from memory and recordings afterwards.
Cloud note-takers send recordings and transcripts to third-party servers, so sensitive meetings go unrecorded; manual note-taking distracts from the discussion and still needs cleanup afterwards.
