Private AI meeting notes. No bot in the call.
QuietNote records, transcribes and summarizes on your own computer, so your meetings stay yours and nobody extra joins.
- No bot joins the meeting
- AI runs locally, works offline
- No account, no cloud by default
Coming soon for macOS 14.2+, with Windows to follow. We’ll email you the day it ships.
Like Otter, Fireflies or Granola, without the bot and without the cloud.
No mystery guest.
Your meeting already has enough people. QuietNote listens from your computer instead of joining the call, so the participant list stays exactly as you invited it.
How it works
From call to notes in three steps.
- 01
Press start
Start recording when the meeting begins. Nothing records before that.
- 02
Meet as usual
Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or any call on your computer.
- 03
Read your notes
A short summary, the decisions made, and action items with owners.
The notes
One short note per call.
What was decided, who does what, and by when.

Questions
Common questions
Does a bot join my meeting?
No. QuietNote records from your own computer, so nobody new appears in the participant list.
Which meeting platforms does it work with?
Any call on your computer, including Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. QuietNote records your microphone and system audio, so it doesn’t need to connect to the meeting platform. It runs on macOS 14.2 or later. Windows and Linux versions are planned.
Where is meeting audio processed?
On your computer. QuietNote transcribes with a Whisper model that ships with the app, and the audio stays in your meeting’s folder. There is no QuietNote server to send it to.
Does QuietNote work offline?
Yes. Recording and transcription always run offline. Summaries are optional: with a local model in Ollama, nothing leaves your computer. If you choose Claude instead, only the transcript text is sent, with your own Anthropic key, and only when you ask.
Is QuietNote compliant with HIPAA, GDPR or SOC 2?
We don’t claim any certification. Your recordings and transcripts stay on your computer rather than on our servers, but you or your organization decide whether that meets your obligations.
Can government or regulated teams use it?
Audio, transcripts and notes stay on the device, and there is no QuietNote server to send them to. We don’t claim any certification, so your organization decides whether that meets its requirements.
Will other attendees know I’m taking notes?
QuietNote doesn’t add anything to the call, so it’s up to you to tell them. Recording and consent rules vary by location; follow the ones that apply to you.
What happens after the meeting?
You get a short note to review: a summary, the decisions made, and action items with owners.
How much will QuietNote cost?
€8 a month or €79 a year. Everyone who joins the waitlist before launch gets 50% off for life: €4 a month or €39.50 a year.
Can I download it now?
Not yet. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you the first signed Mac release the day it ships.
