# Savory

> Savory is a native macOS and iPhone app that records meetings, transcribes them entirely on your Mac with on-device Whisper models, and organizes every note around the people in the room. Audio stays in memory and is never written to disk. Free in early access; macOS 26+ and iPhone on iOS 26+.

Savory captures meetings without a bot joining the call: on macOS it records system audio locally and separates speakers, and transcription runs on device with Whisper models that live on your Mac. Notes are organized around people rather than a flat chronological pile, so each person carries their own history, cadence, and a two-way ledger of commitments. AI summaries and action items are optional and run only when you ask, with identifiers scrubbed before anything leaves the device. The app is free forever for on-device capture, people pages, calendar, and search; a Pro tier adds the AI summaries and action items. There are no analytics, cookies, or trackers on this website.
