Transcripts & recordings

Every session writes its own record to ~/Documents/MeetingRecordings. None of it is uploaded anywhere.

What gets written

*.transcript.mdThe questions, the drafted answers and your own replies, with timestamps
*.events.jsonlTimings — when each question landed, how fast the answer started, when you spoke, reconnects. No audio
*.wavOptional. 48 kHz stereo: left channel you, right channel the meeting

Turning recording off

Untick Save .wav in the toolbar. Transcripts are still written — and note that in most jurisdictions a transcript of a private conversation is treated much like a recording, so this isn't a way around consent rules. See recording & consent.

If the app quits unexpectedly

Recordings are written continuously and the file header is refreshed every couple of seconds, so a crash or force-quit costs you the last second or two, not the whole file.

Transcribing an old recording

File ▸ Transcribe Recording… (⌘O) turns any saved .wav into a speaker-labelled transcript, using macOS's on-device recogniser. The audio doesn't leave your Mac, and it costs no minutes.

Housekeeping

Nothing is deleted automatically — an hour of stereo audio is around 650 MB, so it's worth clearing out old sessions occasionally. Deleting the files is enough; there's no copy anywhere else.
