From Reminding You to Remembering for You.
HyNote is more than a meeting recorder. It connects your calendar, questions, reusable templates, and long-term meeting memory in one workflow.
Note-taking is available
Never forget to hit record
Zoom, Meet or Teams opens and you haven't started? HyNote nudges you, with one click to record.
Ask your notes, not your memory
During or after a meeting, ask about decisions, owners, customer objections, and themes across meetings.
Run Your Usual Summary Automatically

Before you download
Still curious? Read the Mac user guide or check languages and availability.
Is HyNote for Mac really free?+
Yes. Recording and on-device transcription are free on supported configurations. Local AI is also free on compatible Apple silicon Macs. Online AI is an optional upgrade for longer transcripts, larger files, and more complex requests.
Does a bot join my Zoom, Meet or Teams call?+
No. HyNote captures system audio and your microphone directly from your Mac, so no bot appears in the participant list and you do not need to invite a guest to record.
Which Macs are supported?+
The HyNote app requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Local AI requires macOS 26.4 or later, an M1 or newer Apple silicon Mac, and Apple Intelligence enabled and available for your language and region.
What's the difference between Local AI and Online AI?+
Local AI runs on a compatible Mac and does not use Online AI credits. Online AI is designed for longer transcripts, larger files, and more complex analysis, and is available as an optional upgrade.
Can it tell who said what?+
Yes. HyNote can distinguish and identify speakers by voice, clearly label who said what, and extract key decisions, owners, due dates, and action items. Availability depends on your device, system, language, and selected AI mode.
Take your meeting notes into ChatGPT or Codex.
Record on Mac, then turn the conversation into answers, follow-ups, and development tasks.
