Savory
Records both sides. Joins nothing.
Savory records live and keeps no recording. It captures your mic and the call's system audio directly on your Mac; no participant named 'Notetaker', no meeting-app plugin, no cloud in the loop.
Start from anywhere. Stop thinking about it.
- ✓The floating recorder sits wherever you drag it and remembers its spot: your timer, pause, and a stop that asks first.
- ✓The menu bar menu shows what you are recording, your next meeting, and what is due today, with Quick record one click away.
- ✓Record from any calendar event, now or on a reminder when it starts. The scheduled time is never a gate.
- ✓A consent check before you record a calendar meeting. Recording is a deliberate act, not an ambient one.
Clean audio in, attributed transcript out.
On speakers, your microphone hears the other side of the call, which naive tools transcribe as you. Savory's echo cancellation removes that before transcription. Speaker separation then tells voices apart in the shared audio, and one click turns "Speaker 2" into a named person, back-filled across the whole transcript. If a mic goes quiet or a device disconnects mid-call, Savory recovers calmly and tells you what happened; it never fakes a healthy state.
All of them. Because Savory captures system audio on your Mac rather than joining the meeting, it works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, FaceTime, a phone call on speaker, or a hallway conversation, with nothing to integrate.
The iPhone app records from the microphone, a deliberate, first-class mode that fits rooms and in-person conversations. System-audio capture, echo cancellation, and speaker separation are Mac capabilities.
Where the audio goes
Recording usually implies a file. Here is the entire life of Savory audio, start to finish.
1Capture
Your mic and the other side of the call, streamed in memory. No bot joins, nothing touches disk.
2Transcribe
A local Whisper model turns the audio into text on your device, as the meeting happens.
3Discard
Each sample is dropped the moment it is transcribed. No audio file ever exists, and an automated audit fails any build that adds a way to save one.
4Summarize, if you ask
Only the text transcript is ever sent, scrubbed of emails, phone numbers, card numbers, and IDs. Audio cannot leave your Mac. By then it no longer exists.
The best meeting bot is no bot.
One download, and every call you're in can become a transcript.
