Share feedback on the onboarding flow

Quiet while you talk. Yours when you're done.

During the meeting. Every sentence, as it's said.

Each sentence is on screen within seconds, with a translation into your language when the meeting is in another one.

The Gistsmith live panel while recording a Finnish meeting: each speaker's Finnish sentences with the English translation underneath, your own lines in English, and a “What did I miss?” button at the bottom.

After the meeting. Ready when you hang up.

Your tasks with owners and due dates come first, then the summary, decisions and a glossary.

Any time later. Search every meeting.

Ask across all your meetings and get an answer that links back to the meeting it came from.

The Ask page in Gistsmith: the question “What did we decide about the budget?” answered in two bullet points with numbered citations, and a row showing 3 sources from 2 meetings.

The follow-up email, already drafted

One click drafts the follow-up from the note, with decisions and owners, ready to edit or open in Mail.

Pricing page · 12:40The yearly toggle is hard to spot.

Feedback pinned to the right slide

In online calls, snapshots of the shared screen are matched to what was said, so each comment lands on the right slide.

What did I miss?

In the last 5 minutes: the beta moved to 14 November, and the release notes are yours.

Catch up without interrupting

“What did I miss?” sums up the last few minutes in one click, so nobody has to repeat themselves.

Privacy. Your meetings stay yours.

Built for conversations you'd rather keep private, by a small company in Finland.

  • Stored on your Mac

    Notes, transcripts and recordings live on your Mac. Our servers don't store your audio, or notes we can read unless you turn on AI assistant access.

  • Not used to train AI

    Your meetings aren't used to train our providers' models. We've opted out wherever that's a setting.

  • EU company, GDPR

    Run from Finland under EU data protection law, with our account database in the EU.

  • Delete any time

    Delete your account in the app or on the website at any time; a web or Mac subscription ends with it.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

The trial is free and needs no card: 3 meetings or 7 days from your first meeting, whichever comes first. Meetings you haven't used by then expire. Trial meetings can be up to 90 minutes long. After that, the subscription is $5.99 a month or $49 a year, taxes included.

Does a bot join my meetings?

No. Gistsmith listens to your Mac's audio and microphone; participants never see a bot. It reminds you to tell participants before you start recording.

Where does my audio go?

While you record, the audio streams from your Mac to Deepgram for the live transcript; Deepgram is asked not to keep it or use it for training. If that isn't available, the live transcript is produced on your Mac instead. When the meeting ends, the audio is passed through our server to ElevenLabs to separate speakers and produce the final transcript; for notes and translation the text goes to Anthropic's Claude model. Our servers don't store audio, or notes unless you turn on AI assistant access; they count the duration and hold the final transcript encrypted, only so it can be re-sent for 2 hours if the connection drops; it is deleted at the next daily cleanup, within about a day. ElevenLabs and Anthropic may keep what they process for a time under their own retention rules (Anthropic deletes it within 30 days). If you turn on “Use screen snapshots in notes”, up to six of the meeting's screen snapshots go to Anthropic along with the transcript when the note is written, and up to three with an Ask question about that part of the meeting; otherwise snapshots never leave your Mac. The privacy policy has the details.

Which languages are supported?

You can speak in 35 languages, including English, Finnish and Turkish, and get notes and live translations in 37. You choose the language of your notes and translations, whatever language was spoken. The app itself is available in 12 languages: English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified) and Finnish. It follows your Mac's language, and you can pick another one in Settings › General.

Does it work for in-person meetings and recordings?

Yes. Turn on “In person” before you start, and the Mac's microphone records everyone in the room. You can also import an audio or video file, such as a recorded call or a voice memo, and get the same transcript and note; an imported file counts as a meeting.

Let it write the note for your next meeting.

Set up in a minute, then just start listening.
