Questions

Before you ask.

Does it tell people on a call apart?

It separates you from the call. Your mic is labelled You; everyone else is labelled System.

Which apps does call recording work with?

Any app that plays sound on your Mac. Nothing joins your call.

Do I need headphones?

No, but they give the cleanest transcript. On speakers, your mic also hears the call.

What if I forget to stop recording?

It stops by itself after 5 minutes with nothing to transcribe.

Should I tell people I'm recording?

Yes. Consent rules vary by place, and a call is other people's words too.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Writing, dictation and summaries run on your Mac. Sync catches up when you're back online.

Where do my notes live?

On your Mac. With iCloud sync on, also in your own private iCloud database — not ours.

What do I need?

macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon (M1 and later). Summaries need Apple Intelligence turned on.

How do I check permissions?

Settings → Manage permissions. "Test system audio" checks recording in under a second.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not today. Mindslip is a Mac app.
