More Than Just Meeting Notes

From team stand-ups to university lectures — record any audio offline and let AI turn it into structured notes

TalkFold records audio from any source, transcribes it locally on your Mac using WhisperKit — completely offline and private — and builds a searchable library of transcripts you can edit and organize.

It captures system audio natively, so it works with any app — Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Teams, FaceTime, or even a YouTube video. No bot joins your call, no one knows you're recording.

All recordings stay on your Mac, attached to their transcripts — you can always go back and listen to the original audio to verify what was said.
