Synopsule records your microphone and this Mac's audio, gives you a live transcript while you talk, and — once the recording wraps — labels who said what. Want a summary with action items? That's a button you choose to press. Audio never leaves your Mac.
Recording and transcription run on this Mac. Raw audio is never uploaded.
Captures both sides of remote meetings. No screen recording needed.
Rename a speaker once. Updates everywhere — transcript, search, exports.
Action items and follow-ups, only when you ask. Off by default.
From the menu bar to a synced playhead, Synopsule fits the muscle memory of macOS. No accounts, no uploads, no surprises.
Transcripts appear as you talk — fast, accurate, fully offline. Pick a model that matches your Mac: small for speed, large for accuracy. Switch any time.
When the recording wraps, on-device diarization tells voices apart within each lane — mic and system audio stay separate from the start. Rename "Speaker 2" to a real name and every mention updates — in the transcript, search, and exports.
Click any line to jump there. As audio plays, the active line follows. Skim a 90-minute session in seconds — then dive into the exact moment that matters.
Turn an hour of conversation into a tight summary, a list of owners and tasks, and the open questions to revisit. Strictly opt-in — sending transcript text to AI is a button you choose to press.
Locked the launch date for October. Engineering will trim the export redesign to fit; marketing starts long-lead comms immediately.
Send a transcript to a doc, a video editor, or a project tracker. Speakers, timestamps, and the AI summary travel with the file.
Recording, transcription, and storage all happen on-device. The one moment data ever moves is if you actively ask for an AI summary — and even then, never the audio.
Synopsule needs no sign-in to record or transcribe. Audio is processed locally — the temporary capture file is deleted after finalization, and the playback copy stays on your Mac so you can replay alongside the transcript. Delete it whenever you like.
Whisper runs on this Mac. Recording, transcription, and search never need the network.
Raw capture is deleted after the transcript finalizes. The playback copy stays local so you can replay it — keep or delete any time. Audio is never uploaded.
Summaries are a deliberate action. Use your own AI key, route through Synopsule Pro, or never use them at all.

Pay once on the Mac App Store and the app is yours. AI summaries are optional — bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or LiteLLM-compatible API key, or subscribe to Synopsule Pro for one-click summaries.
Mac App Store · pay once for the app
AI summaries — two ways. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or LiteLLM-compatible API key and transcript text goes from your Mac straight to that provider (you pay only the provider's usage, no Synopsule subscription needed). Or subscribe to Synopsule Pro for one-click summaries with no key setup — $4.99/month or $39.99/year, billed through the App Store. Either way, your audio never leaves your Mac.
