Private meeting notes
your AI remembers.

speechmark sits in your menu bar, listens to the meeting, and hands back a clean note — the decisions, the action items, the words that mattered. Everything stays on your Mac, where Claude and other AI assistants can search it whenever you ask.

How it works

Three things, done well. Nothing else.

01Capture

It lives in your menu bar.

One click to record. It captures your mic and the meeting audio together and handles the routing for you. No browser extension. No bot joining the call.

02Listen

It hears who said what.

Speakers are separated automatically and labelled the first time you confirm a name. After that, every transcript reads like a script.

03Write

It writes the note you would have written.

Decisions, action items, and a short recap, all in plain editorial prose. Pick the model that fits your privacy bar: Apple Intelligence, a local Ollama model, or your own OpenAI or Anthropic key. Click any line to jump to the exact moment it was said.

New · Works with Claude

Ask your meetings anything.

Connect Speechmark to Claude Desktop and your transcript folder becomes a memory your own AI can reason over, privately and on your device. No competitor can hand you this, because their notes live in their cloud. Yours live on your Mac.

01

One click to connect. Settings → Assistant → Add to Claude Desktop. It installs as a Claude extension. No config files, no terminal, no API key.

02

Grounded in your meetings. Claude answers from your own notes: decisions, action items, attendees. And it cites the meeting each answer came from.

03

Stays on your Mac. The connector reads your notes locally and makes no network calls of its own. You decide what any question surfaces.

What did we decide about pricing across my Acme calls?
Across three Acme calls you landed on annual billing at a 15% discount, with the per-seat floor still open. Two follow-ups are unresolved:· Send Acme the revised annual quote — you
· Confirm the discount with finance — Dana

Competitor data reflects their cloud-first defaults. Features may vary by plan.

I used to leave meetings with three pages of bullet points and no idea what we’d actually agreed. Now I leave with a paragraph that reads like a memo from someone who took it seriously.

Who it's for

Built for people whose meetings matter.

01 / 04

Capture the decisions and action items, not a wall of bullet points your team won't read.

Speechmark tracks who said what and when, so your sprint retros, PRD updates, and stakeholder readouts practically write themselves. Stay in the conversation instead of racing to keep notes.

Privacy by architecture

Your meetings stay on your machine.

Audio never leaves your Mac. Transcription runs locally on Apple silicon, and notes are generated on-device by default. The only things that can ever leave are ones you switch on yourself.

Questions

Common questions, answered plainly.

No. Recording and transcription happen entirely on your Mac, and the audio never leaves the device. If you pick a cloud AI model for the summary (OpenAI or Anthropic, with your own key), only the transcript text is sent, never the audio. You can also stay fully on-device with Apple Foundation Models or a local Ollama model.

Those are cloud-first: your audio is uploaded to their servers and you pay a recurring subscription. Speechmark keeps audio and transcription on your Mac, needs no account, doesn't send a bot into your call, and is a one-time purchase instead of a subscription.

No. Speechmark records the microphone and meeting audio directly from your Mac’s menu bar. Nothing joins the meeting, and other participants see no recording bot.

Speechmark is a one-time purchase per Mac, with no subscription. It’s a free public beta you can download and run today; buying now locks in the $49 founding-customer price, which rises to $79 at launch.

macOS 14.2 (Sonoma) or later on an Apple silicon Mac.

Yes. Speechmark installs a local connector for Claude Desktop in one click, with no API key and no config. Claude then answers from your own meeting notes and cites which meeting each answer came from, while the notes stay on your Mac.
