A command-line tool
List, search, show, and export your meetings, notes, and transcripts as Markdown. It can only read, never change or delete — so it is safe to point at your library and build on top of.
00:01 · Listenr for Mac
Great notes.
No bot in your call.
Listenr captures meetings straight from your Mac — transcribes on-device, knows who said what, and writes structured notes you can actually use. Nothing joins the call. Nothing leaves your Mac unless you share it.
Works with Google Meet, Zoom & Microsoft Teams · macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon
00:02 · Why Listenr
Everything a notetaker bot does.
Without the bot.
No bot ever joins your call
Listenr captures the audio your Mac already plays and records — system output plus your microphone. No awkward “…has joined the meeting”, no guest to admit, nothing for your counterpart to wonder about.
Knows who said what
Meet, Zoom, and Teams highlight the active speaker — Listenr watches the meeting window and reads that highlight and the name below it, so every transcript line is attributed to a person. It even notices who joins and leaves, and when.
- 02:12
Local by default
Transcription runs on your Mac, with on-device transcription by default. Offline, private, no setup — sending anything to the cloud is strictly opt-in.
- 07:48
Notes without the setup
On a paid plan the notes are just there — no key, no configuration. Prefer your own? Use your Anthropic or OpenAI account, or a model running entirely on your Mac.
- 13:05
Share on purpose
Nothing syncs automatically. Explicitly share a meeting to your team library, or send a link anyone can open in a browser.
- 18:30
Calendar-connected
Upcoming meetings appear in your menu bar. One notification action joins the call and starts transcribing.
- 24:57
Language-aware
Listenr learns each contact’s language and writes notes in the meeting’s language — or any language you pick.
- 31:42
Your notes, expanded
Type your own notes during the call. Afterwards, AI expands them into a summary, decisions, and action items.
00:03 · CLI & MCP
Your meetings, scriptable.
Your meetings live on your Mac as ordinary data, not locked inside an app. Search and export them from the terminal, or let your AI assistant read the whole library and answer questions about it.
An MCP server built in
Connect your AI assistant to your meeting library. Ask what was decided last week, pull action items across meetings, draft the follow-up email — with your real notes as context instead of what you can remember.
00:04 · Privacy
Private and local,
by default.
Local by default
Capture and transcription happen on your Mac. With on-device transcription, a meeting never touches a server at all.
Nothing leaves unless you share
There is no automatic sync. Sharing a meeting is a deliberate action — to your team, or as a link you can revoke anytime.
You choose what writes the notes
Use a model that never leaves your Mac, your own Anthropic or OpenAI account, or the one we host for you. Only the transcript text is ever sent, and only to the one you picked.
