Bot-free recording for Mac

AI meeting notes. No bot in your call.

Capture Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, and in-person meetings directly on your Mac. Follow the live transcript during the conversation, then get a searchable record, AI summary, and action items without adding note1 to the participant list.

How bot-free note taking works

From call to complete meeting record in three steps

No calendar guest, waiting-room admission, or extra participant. The recording starts and stays under your control on the Mac.

01

Start your meeting

Open Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams in the browser or native app. note1 detects the call from the Mac menu bar.

02

Choose Record Locally

note1 uses microphone and Screen & System Audio Recording permissions to capture both sides without joining as an attendee.

03

Open the finished meeting record

The recording is securely uploaded to your workspace for the final transcript, summary, and action items with source timestamps.

One recorder, different rooms

Bot-free notes wherever the conversation happens

Google MeetZoomMicrosoft Teams

Online calls, minus the extra participant

Run the meeting in its native app or a browser tab. note1 captures your microphone and the other participants through macOS system audio, so the experience is consistent across supported platforms.

The same recorder for in-person meetings

Start from the menu bar and use your Mac microphone for a conversation in the room. You get the same workspace record without needing a video-meeting link at all.

During the meeting

The assistant stays on your screen, not in the call

Live speech recognition runs on the Mac. Follow what was said or watch working notes take shape without opening another dashboard.

Cool. Let’s also put a task behind that so it doesn’t get lost.

The live transcript gives you a working view of the conversation while it is still happening.

Keep decisions visible as they emerge

Real-time notes help you stay oriented. The polished record arrives after workspace processing.

Clear processing boundaries

Local while you meet. Connected when the record is finished.

Bot-free describes how note1 captures the conversation. It does not mean every later processing step stays on the device.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Support
What is a bot-free AI note taker?

A bot-free AI note taker records your device microphone and system audio instead of adding another attendee to the meeting. note1 for Mac uses this approach to create live transcripts and notes while your participant list stays unchanged.

Does note1 join the meeting when I record without a bot?

No. When you choose Record Locally in the Mac app, note1 captures the meeting from your computer and does not appear in the participant list. You can still choose the visible note1 notetaker as a second capture mode when that workflow fits the meeting better.

Which meeting platforms work with bot-free recording?

note1 supports bot-free recording for Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams in native apps or browser tabs on your Mac. The app detects supported calls and offers local recording from the menu bar.

Can note1 record in-person meetings without a bot?

Yes. Start a local recording from the note1 Mac app and use your Mac microphone to capture an in-person meeting or conversation in the room. No meeting link or participant bot is needed.

Is all processing done locally on my Mac?

Recording and live speech recognition happen on your Mac. The recording is then securely uploaded to your note1 workspace, where the final transcript, summary, and action items are generated and kept with meeting playback.

Can note1 identify speakers without joining the call?

Yes. Bot-free recordings use speaker diarization to separate voices and can use names spoken during the conversation plus confirmed speaker profiles. Because note1 is not reading the meeting roster in this mode, it does not promise that every real name will appear live.

Does bot-free recording remove the need for consent?

No. A bot-free recorder does not add a platform participant or recording alert. You are still responsible for recording consent, participant disclosure, applicable laws, and your organization policies before capturing a conversation.

What Mac do I need?

The note1 desktop app requires macOS 15 or later and an Apple Silicon Mac with an M1 or newer processor. Intel Macs are not supported.
