NoteOwl

NoteOwl is a Mac app that records your microphone and call audio from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, FaceTime, Webex, Slack huddles or any other app, then transcribes and summarizes everything on your device. No bot joins your call and nothing leaves your Mac. The app labels every line of the transcript with who said it, extracts action items using 22 built-in templates, and tracks commitments so you can see what you owe and what you're owed.

You can search your entire meeting library with plain English questions and get answers that cite the exact passage and jump to that moment in the recording. The app works offline and runs on macOS 26 and later with Apple silicon. Free dictation lets you record your voice into any app with customizable tone, while the Pro version adds meeting notes, speaker recognition, summaries and the ability to ask questions about past meetings.

NoteOwl includes voice notes, transcription, lecture recording, subtitle generation and custom vocabulary. You can export everything you record and choose from templates for 1:1 meetings, stand-ups, sales calls, job interviews, therapy sessions, board meetings, brainstorms, podcasts and more.
