AlmRecorder

Local on your Mac · private by default

Every conversation, remembered. Entirely on your terms.

Record meetings or import Voice Memos and audio files. AlmRecorder transcribes everything locally, keeps track of who said what, and takes you back to the right moment when you need it.

AlmRecorder finds an onboarding decision and shows the right speaker and timestamp.

A memory you can actually work with

Find the decision—not just the file.

Search with the exact words, half a sentence, or only what the conversation was about. AlmRecorder leads you back to the person, context, and source audio, even when the wording has escaped you.

01 · Understand the conversation

Know who said what—and what needs to happen next.

Every line stays connected to its speaker, exact time, and source audio. Correct names, tag decisions, and review uncertain text without losing the surrounding conversation.

  • Named speakers and exact timestamps
  • Local summaries, topics, and tags
  • Review, correct, and restore suspicious lines

02 · Capture everything in one place

One private library for every language and every way you record.

Record microphone and Mac audio separately, import audio files, or connect Apple Voice Memos. AlmRecorder detects the language and makes it all searchable in the same local library.

English, Swedish, Spanish, or a conversation that switches languages—everything joins the same workflow.

03 · MCP

Use your conversation memory in the AI tools you already work with.

Connect a compatible local AI client through MCP to find a commitment, compare meetings, plan the next move, or draft a follow-up. You decide separately whether it can see metadata, read content, or change anything.

Privacy by architecture

Complete context. Complete control.

Recording, transcription, embeddings, search, and insights run on your Mac. No account or hosted transcription service is required. Data crosses that local boundary only when you connect a client or export it.
