Local meeting transcription
Stay in the conversation.
Keep your notes beside the call. Mote captures microphone and system audio and transcribes on your Mac, so you can listen while keeping track of what matters.
Your notes and the conversation, together.
A transcript records what was said. Your own notes record why it mattered: a decision, an open question, or something to follow up on. Mote keeps the note panel available above your other windows so you can write those thoughts while the meeting continues.
Transcription happens on your Mac.
Mote processes microphone and system audio locally. No transcription bot joins the call, and meeting audio is not sent to a cloud transcription service. Local speech models need to be downloaded before use; Mote shows model-download progress in the app.
Live captions, then a refined transcript.
A streaming model provides live captions during the call. A larger model refines the transcript afterward, with speaker labels that you can edit. Review names, decisions, and important details against your notes before relying on the transcript.
Keep the useful parts after the call.
Continue editing your note after the meeting, add action items, and use Mote’s Obsidian integration when a note belongs in your vault. Your notes remain local markdown files. Meeting transcription is included in the same app and three-day trial as the editor.
Try it with your own notes.
Mote runs on macOS 15 or later. Try the full app free for three days, with no account or card. $18.99 once at the early-bird price.
