Everyone knows.

Recording people should never be a secret. Each of these is on by a switch you control.

Says it out loud

A spoken announcement when recording starts, pauses, and stops.

Shows on screen

A recording badge that appears in your screen share, and a menu-bar icon that pulses red.

Posts in Zoom chat

A one-line notice to the meeting the moment you hit record.

You already pay for an AI. Scribe doesn't charge you for a second one. Transcribing on your own Mac costs nothing per meeting, so there's no subscription. Your transcripts are plain text, so any model can read them. And when the models get better, Scribe gets better. For free.

Bring your own AI

Works with the one you have.

Scribe does what has to happen on your Mac. The thinking goes to whichever assistant you already use.

One click

No second subscription.

Most notetakers are a monthly fee on top of the AI plan you already have.

02

One privacy policy.

Audio stays home. Your AI sees only the passages you choose, under terms you already accepted.

03

Questions

Does Scribe join my meeting as a bot?

No. It captures the audio your Mac is already playing, plus your mic if you want. Nothing appears in the participant list, so it works for Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, FaceTime, or a conversation across the table.

Which Macs?

Apple Silicon, macOS 13 or later. Transcription runs on the GPU, so it stays fast and quiet even on a MacBook Air.

Do I need Claude or Codex?

No. Recording, transcription, search, the Minutes Reader, and on-device answers work with no AI account at all. Claude and Codex are optional, for minutes and richer answers.

What counts as one of the 20 free meetings?

Any completed recording of two minutes or longer. Short tests don't count, and a recording in progress is never interrupted.

What if I don't buy a license?

Everything you recorded keeps working: transcripts, minutes, search, export. Only starting a new recording is gated.

Do I pay again for updates?

No. Every 1.x release is free, delivered automatically through a signed update feed. If a future major version is ever paid, your license keeps working on the version you own.

I used Scribe before it had a license.

You're grandfathered in automatically. Recording stays unlimited on Macs that already had transcripts. Nothing to do.

Is it legal to record my meetings?

That depends on where you live and who's on the call. Scribe's announcement, badge, and chat notice exist so telling people is the default.

Your Mac. Your files. Your AI.

Free to start. $9.99 once.
