A free Mac app that records lectures, meetings, and calls, then transcribes them and creates structured notes on-device.

For: Mac users recording lectures, meetings, and calls
Worth noticing: A custom dictionary correction is applied across titles, notes, transcripts, and future Whisper transcriptions.

Field notes

Recordings can capture microphone and system audio together, with live transcription shown during capture. Users can edit or regenerate notes, search across transcripts, and export a study sheet as a PDF. The site says an on-device language model can write notes offline; optional cloud providers are also available, with a warning when text would leave the Mac. The app is labeled beta.
