Pros

  • Automatic speaker diarisation with per-speaker labels
  • Four purpose-built modes for meetings, phone calls, in-person chats, and voice sessions
  • Exposes conversations via a local MCP server so Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor can query them
  • Clean Markdown export for pasting into Notion, Obsidian, or a CRM
  • 10 full-feature sessions free with no signup required
Cons
  • Pro features are pricey
  • Voice clone abuse policy needs care
  • macOS only — no Windows, Linux, iOS, web, or mobile client
  • Requires wiring up an external AI provider for the copilot and post-call generation
  • Solo-app model: no team workspace, shared library, or admin console
  • Small indie product from a single developer domain — long-term support is not guaranteed
  • MCP integration assumes users are already comfortable with Claude Code / Cursor tooling
  • No native CRM, calendar, or Zoom bot integrations — capture is whatever the Mac hears
