Before the meeting
Start every meeting on time
WhisprNotes reads the calendars already on your Mac (iCloud, Google, Exchange, CalDAV) and taps you a minute before each call. One click joins it and starts the notes.

Meeting notes, finished on your Mac.
- Listens through your Mac’s audio, so no bot joins the call
- Your audio stays on your Mac, where the transcript and the note are written
- Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack huddles, Webex and meetings in person
- Pick a template (1:1, Sales call, Stand-up, Interview or your own) and the note is written that way; write it again with another any time
- Transcribe audio and video files into notes, on your Mac: drop one on the window or choose Transcribe File…
WhisprNotes helps before, during and after every meeting.
During the meeting
Stay in the conversation
Jot a word or two, or nothing at all. The live transcript keeps up beside you, and you can ask what you missed without leaving the call.
After the meeting
The follow-up is already drafted
When the call ends, recording stops by itself, the note is written and named after what was said. A playbook can draft the recap email and the action items for Reminders, then wait for your OK.
WhisprNotes Ask
Ask anything you’ve said.
Every note and meeting, asked in plain words: all of them, one folder, one person, or the meeting you’re in. Each answer shows where it came from. Offline, on your Mac and iPhone.
Dictation
Don’t type. Just talk.
Hold fn in any app on your Mac, say it the way you’d say it, and let go. Clean text lands at your cursor almost instantly. On iPhone, tap the mic on the WhisprNotes keyboard.
Sounds like you
Casual in Slack, formal in Mail, plain in your terminal. A mode for every app.
Command mode
Select text and say “make this shorter”. It rewrites in place.
Casing for code
Say “camel case user id”, get
userId.Your words
Names and jargon spelled your way, in dictation and meetings.
WhisprNotes for iPhone · beta
Your notepad, in your pocket.
A dictation keyboard
Tap the mic on the WhisprNotes keyboard: WhisprNotes opens and listens, you swipe back, and clean text lands where you were typing. Pick a style from the keyboard; on iPhones with Apple Intelligence it’s tidied on the device.
Meetings in the room
Record a meeting, a class or a visit with a live transcript and a template, then get the finished note, named after what was said, with no bot and no upload. Share a voice memo or an audio file to it, and that’s transcribed on the iPhone too.
Ask, widgets and a Live Activity
Ask your notes with sources, start recording from the Home Screen, Lock Screen or Control Center, get a reminder before each meeting, and keep the timer on the Dynamic Island.
On the iPhone
Speech runs on your iPhone, and on iPhones with Apple Intelligence so do the written notes and Ask. Free, with its notes kept on it; with Pro they sync with your Mac.
Free · iOS 26 or later · Beta opens soon on TestFlight
Playbooks
Get the work after the meeting done.
Playbooks write what usually comes next: the recap, the action items, the clinical note. Drafted on your Mac, sent only when you say so.
Runs when the meeting ends
After every meeting, after ones titled “1:1”, or when you say “send follow-ups”. Or only when you run it.
Nothing goes out without you
Each run waits in a review inbox. Approve it and it makes a Mail draft, adds action items to Reminders or runs a shortcut.
A scribe for clinicians
SOAP, APSO, H&P, DAP, BIRP, GIRP and PIRP notes, each line linked to the moment it was said, with ICD-10-CM suggestions to review. Visits never leave the Mac.
WhisprNotes MCP server
Use your notes in every AI tool.
No more pasting transcripts into chat windows.
WhisprNotes comes with a local MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP apps can search the notes and meetings in the folders you allow, read-only, and never a private or clinical note. It runs on your Mac with no API key, and connects in one click (or one command).
Works with
- Claude Code
- Cursor
- VS Code
- Zed
- Any MCP app
claude mcp add --scope user whisprnotes -- /Applications/WhisprNotes.app/Contents/MacOS/whisprnotes-mcpTurn it on in Settings › Integrations. Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor connect in one click, and any other MCP app takes the config you copy from there. Shortcuts, Siri and Spotlight can start a meeting note or find a note too, never a private one.
Privacy
Private by design. Your audio never leaves your device.
Speech and AI run on your Mac and iPhone, and what you keep there stays there. Pro syncs your notes’ text, never audio. How we handle your data
Nothing joins the call
WhisprNotes hears the call through your Mac. The people you meet see no bot and no extra guest.
Works with every meeting app
Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Webex, and the meeting at the table next to you.
Heard and written on your device
Speech and AI run on your Mac or iPhone, so your audio never leaves it. Meeting audio is deleted once your note is written; dictation audio is kept for 14 days only if you turn that on. History is kept as long as you choose.
Synced as text, never audio
With Pro, the text of your notes and meetings syncs between your Mac and iPhone, encrypted at rest. Audio stays on the device that heard it.
Private notes
Mark any note Private from its ⋯ menu and it gets a lock. It stays out of AI apps, Shortcuts, Siri and iPhone Spotlight, is never used to improve WhisprNotes, and asks before it’s shared.
What leaves my Mac or iPhone?
Never your audio. Speech recognition runs on your device’s Neural Engine, and the writing (cleanup, meeting notes, answers) uses Apple’s on-device model, or on the Mac a WhisprNotes model or a local model server on that same Mac. The app signs in to your WhisprNotes account, downloads its speech models (and, if you choose them, the WhisprNotes AI models) once from Hugging Face, and sends usage counts with no content in them; on iPhone, Apple’s speech languages come from Apple. With Pro, the text of your notes and meetings syncs to your other devices through our servers, encrypted at rest. With Pro, anonymized synced text may help improve WhisprNotes unless you turn it off (off by default in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland, and where we can’t tell). Never audio, voiceprints, clinical notes or notes you mark Private.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free WhisprNotes account, made in the app with your email address. Free never needs a card. Your account knows your plan and, with Pro, carries your notes to your other devices.
How does it record meetings without a bot?
It listens to your microphone and to the call’s audio on your Mac, so nothing joins the call. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Webex and meetings in person, and the iPhone app records meetings in the room. The meeting audio becomes a transcript on your device and is deleted once your note is written. Check your local rules on recording and let people know you’re taking notes.
What happens to my audio?
Meeting recordings are deleted as soon as the note is made. Dictation audio isn’t kept unless you turn on “Keep audio for 14 days” in Settings. For clinical notes you choose: delete once the note is made, or keep it until you sign the note off.
How is dictation different from Apple’s built-in Dictation?
Hold one key in any app, speak, and let go. WhisprNotes removes filler words, understands corrections like “no wait”, formats lists and emails, and can use a different tone in each app. It also keeps a searchable history, learns your vocabulary, expands snippets and rewrites selected text by voice.
Which languages does it support?
On the Mac: English and 24 other European languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish (Parakeet, on the Neural Engine). On iPhone: those 25, plus every language Apple’s on-device speech model offers on your iPhone, such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean (downloaded from Apple the first time). Cleanup, notes and Ask follow the AI model you use.
Can my AI tools read my notes?
If you want them to. WhisprNotes includes a local MCP server that Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP apps can use to search your notes and meetings. Turn it on in Settings › Integrations. It’s read-only, only the folders you allow, and never a private or clinical note.
What do I need to run it?
A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later. Cleanup, meeting notes and Ask use Apple Intelligence when your Mac has it, or a WhisprNotes model you download. WhisprNotes asks for microphone access, Accessibility access (to type into other apps), permission to record your Mac’s audio (to hear the call, only while a meeting records), calendar access if you want meeting reminders, and Reminders access if a playbook adds action items there. The iPhone app needs iOS 26 or later (iPhone 11 or newer, or iPhone SE (2nd generation) or newer); AI notes and Ask need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes, free like the Mac app, and its beta opens soon on TestFlight: a dictation keyboard (its mic opens WhisprNotes to listen, you swipe back, and the text lands where you were typing), in-person meetings with a live transcript and templates, audio files transcribed from the Share sheet, Ask, widgets, Control Center, meeting reminders and a Live Activity. On Free its notes stay on your iPhone; with Pro they sync with your Mac.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Free works on each device you sign in on, with everything kept on that device and no sync. Speech and AI run on your device with local models, so there’s nothing to meter and no usage limit. Pro ($15 a month, or $144 a year) syncs your notes and meetings across up to 10 devices, backs them up and adds share links. Pro opens soon. Join the beta list to hear when it does. The one part priced on its own is the clinician pack, per clinician; write to us about it. The pricing page has every plan.
Unlimited. And free.
Unlimited dictation, meetings, Ask and playbooks on your Mac and iPhone, with a free account. The models run on your device, so there’s nothing to meter.
