Automatic transcription and summaries for every call on your Mac. Built entirely on Apple technology. Transcription on your device, summaries through Apple Intelligence's Private Cloud Compute. No cloud, no bot, no account, no subscription.
Transcription happens on your Mac. Summaries are created with Apple Intelligence's Private Cloud Compute — Apple promises to keep your data private, to store nothing, and to never train on it. You can opt out of summaries entirely if you want.
Audio never leaves your Mac. TinyScribe deletes it a few days after the meeting if you want — or you keep it forever.
TinyScribe notices when a call begins, no matter which app you use — Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack, or anything else that uses your microphone and speakers at the same time. It starts transcribing. When the call ends, it stops.
The fennec in your menu bar wears a red dot for as long as it is recording.
Prefer to decide yourself? Start and stop manually whenever you like.
Transcripts and summaries sync through your own iCloud, so they're on every Mac you use. Audio stays on your Mac and doesn't take up space in your iCloud.
Your notes are always safe, even if your Mac dies.
TinyScribe writes into Apple Intelligence's search index, so you can use Spotlight and Siri to find your meetings.
Copy transcripts and summaries with one click to give other AI agents access to your meeting context. Export as PDF or rich text is also available.
TinyScribe never joins your calls — there is no bot for others to see. That also means it's on you to tell them. Recording laws differ by country and by US state: some require only your consent, many require everyone's.
The simplest habit is also the safest one: say at the start of a call that you're taking notes. One sentence, and it lands in the transcript.

Prices vary by country — the App Store shows yours.
Only if you tell them — and TinyScribe helps you do exactly that. macOS shows its own microphone indicator on your Mac, and the fennec in your menu bar carries a red dot while recording. Telling the other participants is up to you — how consent rules work, by region →
Transcription still works — it runs on Apple's speech framework, which is independent. Summaries won't. You get the full transcript, and the summary is queued until the model is available again.
It depends entirely on where you and the other participants are. In twelve US states and much of Europe, everyone has to agree. That is why we treat consent as a conversation, not a setting. We are not lawyers.
On your Mac, in your own file system, until it is deleted according to your setting. It is never synced to iCloud, and it is never sent anywhere else.
We couldn't. There is no server of ours that receives anything. Apple's Private Cloud Compute does not retain or train on the data it processes.
Because there are no running costs to cover. Apple pays for the inference that powers the summaries. Everything else runs on your Mac.
We want to provide the best user experience, so we focus on macOS only. An iOS companion will probably come later.
TinyScribe keeps recording your calls. New transcripts and summaries wait until you unlock — buy once, and everything recorded in the meantime is transcribed and summarized retroactively.
