Never forget another word.
RecapMuse records your calls and meetings, transcribes them live on your Mac, and hands your day back as a searchable memory. No bot joins your call. Your live transcript never leaves your device.
Capture the conversation. Keep the memory.
RecapMuse runs quietly while you talk, then turns the recording into something you can actually search: who said what, when, and what to do next.

RecapMuse records on your Mac. While you talk, it transcribes live, entirely on your device, using Apple's own on-device speech engine. That transcript never touches a network call, on any tier.
No meeting bot in the call, ever. Your recordings and your searchable library live on your Mac, not in an account of ours.
Cloud notetakers remember everything, on someone else's server.
The convenient ones send a bot into your call and upload every word to a vendor's servers, with no way to opt out. RecapMuse was built the other way.

The trust problem is not hypothetical.
Real, sourced concerns from people using today's cloud notetakers. Not our customers: the industry, describing the exact problem RecapMuse was built to answer.
“What Otter has done is use its Otter Notetaker meeting assistant to record, transcribe, and utilize the contents of conversations without the Class members' informed consent.”
“I never created a Fireflies account, never agreed to its Terms of Service, and never provided any written consent authorizing the collection of my biometric data.”
“Secretly activating an AI notetaker is inconsistent with the candor lawyers owe clients.”
“Recording isn't stored, anonymized transcripts limit subpoenas.”
“The whole software operates like a virus and it's almost impossible to cancel the subscription you never asked for.”
“The system experiences a failure at least once daily when attempting to search for notes from a past meeting.”
Built for conversations that cannot leave the room.
The reason most people will not put their calls through a cloud transcription service is the reason RecapMuse exists. Tailored editions are coming for the work that needs privacy most.
A second memory for your working day.
The honest answers.
Does my audio go to the cloud?
Your live transcript never does: it is generated entirely on your Mac using Apple's on-device speech engine, with no network call in that path. The Diary step is different, and we want to be exact: after a call ends, it currently sends that recording's audio to OpenAI to transcribe it speaker by speaker and draft the title and action items, using your own OpenAI key from your Mac's Keychain. No Epiphani account or server ever touches your audio, and without a key the app still records and live-transcribes. A fully on-device Diary step is next.
Does a bot join my meeting?
No. RecapMuse records on your Mac, the way a voice memo would. There is no participant to admit and no link to paste into the invite.
How do Mac and iPhone stay in sync?
The iPhone companion is in private testing today. As it ships, your library stays on your devices, and any sync runs through your own iCloud, never an account we hold. You control where it lives.
Is it legal to record my calls?
Recording laws vary by state and country, and consent rules differ for one-party and all-party jurisdictions. RecapMuse is a tool; following the law where you are is yours to manage. When in doubt, tell the room you are recording.
Is there a version for lawyers or therapists?
RecapMuse Session (clinicians), Counsel (attorneys), and Recall (sales) are tailored editions we are building now, priced from $79 to $348 a seat a year. They are not open yet; leave your email and we will bring you in as each one launches.
Why a subscription when some Mac transcribers are one-time?
RecapMuse keeps working for you every day, with a Diary that improves over time and an iPhone companion on the way. The yearly price covers that ongoing work, including the cloud step until it moves fully on-device.
What happens to my recordings if I stop?
They are files on your devices. They do not live in our account, so they do not disappear when a subscription lapses. You keep what you captured.
Keep every word. Keep it on your Mac.
From $59 a year on your Mac, with the iPhone companion in private testing. No meeting bot, no account that owns your memory, and a live transcript that never leaves your device.
