Watch it work

Two real flows from the app, replayed step by step with sample notes. Point at a step to jump to it.

Record a lecture: transcript, summary, tasks

Press Record in the note. A recording card opens under the title, the clock starts and the level meter moves with the sound in the room.

Jotter: the floating scrap paper that calculates

Press ⌃⌥J in any app. The Jotter floats above your windows. Start the first line with the word math and the paper becomes a calculator.

One notebook for the whole day

  • Record, and it writes

    Meeting, lecture or conversation. The transcript appears while you record, then a summary, key points and action items that become real tasks.

  • It knows who spoke

    Speakers get names, colours and their own lane on the waveform. Click any word to hear it. Fix a line that went to the wrong person.

  • Vietnamese and English, mixed

    About 90 languages, with live translation between English and Vietnamese. Search finds "Việt Nam" when you type "viet nam".

  • Boards without edges

    Cards, stickies, shapes, frames and connectors on an endless canvas. 14 templates, from storyboard to kanban. Present it full screen.

  • It helps you study

    Flashcards with spaced repetition, a quiz made from a lecture with the source passage and its time in the recording, a practice exam over a whole notebook.

  • Paper, and a book

    Ruled, dotted, grid or Cornell paper with pens and a highlighter. Open a PDF and write on it. Read a notebook as a book, one chapter per note.

Jotter: scrap paper that does the sums

A floating window for things too small for a note. Start a jot with a keyword and it changes what the paper does: math, list, timer, sum. It reads 5k, 2tr and 1tỷ the way you write them.

Type in it. This one really calculates.

Good to know

  • Speech models are downloaded once, the first time you transcribe. After that transcription works offline.
  • Summaries and quizzes use Apple Intelligence on macOS 26 or later. On older systems they fall back to a simpler method that picks sentences from the text.
  • Locked notebooks are hidden behind Touch ID. They are not encrypted, and backups contain them.
  • There is no iCloud sync, no shared links and no live collaboration yet.
  • How well it hears depends on the microphone and the room. We have not published accuracy figures.

Privacy

Notes, audio, transcripts, models and AI processing stay on your Mac. No analytics, no cloud AI. It records only when you press Record.

For your AI assistant

A command-line tool and a local MCP server expose more than 240 actions. Deleting needs explicit confirmation, and recording starts only when asked.
