meeting notes and dictation for Mac
Jot listens to your meetings and your voice and writes it all down, without sending your conversations to the cloud.
Meetings
any call, any room
Works with any call
Jot records your microphone and your Mac's sound together, so it works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex or anything else that plays audio, as well as meetings in the room.
Who said what
Jot recognises different voices and labels each line with the speaker. Add names from a calendar invite or the Mac Calendar app and they're filled in for you.
Notes alongside
Type your own notes while the meeting runs. Afterwards, the transcript and your notes are saved together as a Markdown file in a folder you choose.
Clean audio
Echo cancellation removes the call coming back through your speakers, so the transcript isn't full of repeats.
Dictation
hold, talk, let go
Hold a keyboard shortcut in any app, talk, and let go: Jot types what you said where your cursor is. Double-tap the shortcut to keep listening hands-free.
- Removes filler words like “um” and “uh”.
- Say “new paragraph” or “bullet point” to format as you speak.
- Teach it names and terms it gets wrong.
- Optional smart formatting can shape your words into paragraphs, lists or an email to suit the app you're typing in.
Also included
the small things
- A to-do list kept as a plain Markdown file.
- View and edit any Markdown file, including notes in an Obsidian vault.
- Import recordings made elsewhere, such as Voice Memos.
- Optional meeting summaries written by Claude, using your own Anthropic API key.
Privacy
your words stay yours
on-device
Speech recognition runs on your Mac. Recordings, transcripts and notes are stored on your Mac. Jot has no account and no analytics. The only features that send anything over the internet are the optional Claude summaries and smart formatting, which are off until you add your own API key and turn them on. Read the full privacy policy.
Requirements
- A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later).
- macOS 14.2 Sonoma or later.
- Microphone and screen and system audio recording permissions, which macOS asks for the first time you record.
