Summary
Get More Done in One Meeting
Anything you miss leaves you guessing at the end or needing a follow-up. The assistant tracks three things so you don't end up there.
For people who end up in fast, packed meetings.
Vague requirements
An ask still unclear after the conversation has moved on.
“Ask what ‘manual slog’ actually means — where’s the time going?”
Goal drift
The conversation wandering from what you came in for.
“Ask which renewals are at risk if reporting doesn’t change.”
Buried prep
A detail from your prep that doesn't surface when it should.
“They dropped a rigid reporting tool last year — lead with why custom fits.”
Tuned against a 96-scenario benchmark to nearly eliminate hallucinations.
"Wait, say that again — I'll start recording."
A system-level shortcut, like Spotlight or Raycast. Or let it start itself (beta) →
Answers from Your Prep Notes
Add your docs in any format and the right details surface at the right point in the conversation 83% of the time. Drop in whatever you have: paste CRM exports, pricing PDFs, competitor briefs — no matter how messy.
Discovery call with Brightwave, a performance marketing agency. Goal: learn how they build client reporting today, what’s forcing a change and by when, and leave with a scoped next step. I build on their own stack — n8n, their warehouse, dashboards — not a tool they rent.

client Looker StudioReal Names, Not “Speaker 3”
Speaker identification is accurate 97–99% of the time on the public benchmark — and it’s the on-device pipeline’s, not a cloud model’s. Audio never leaves the Mac; an optional step just puts names to the speakers, and you can run that locally too.
Most AI notetakers join your call as a bot to do this. MimicScribe captures audio at the OS level, so nothing joins — no attendee added, no recording badge, no permission to ask the other side (though you probably should).
Speaker profiles saved across meetings
Save a speaker’s name once and their voice is recognized automatically in every future meeting — correctly 92% of the time with zero wrong matches in 779 benchmark trials. When the app isn’t sure, it refuses and asks instead of guessing. A profile takes about 20 seconds of clear speech to create, and voice profiles live on your Mac alongside the rest of the audio pipeline.
A 60-minute meeting finishes in about a minute
Transcription runs live during the meeting, so most of the work is already done when you hit stop. The remaining on-device step — working out who spoke when — takes about a minute for an hour of audio on Apple Silicon.
Brightwave Reporting Discovery
Sam, you’re the one building these — walk me through what month-end actually looks like for you, step by step.
Sure. On the first I start exporting — GA4, Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn — each one its own dashboard, one platform at a time.
Got it.
Then everything goes into one master sheet and I start reconciling. The platforms never agree on conversions, so I’m hand-matching attribution windows row by row.
And every client wants their numbers framed a little differently — it’s never quite the same report twice.
Right, so I rebuild the same charts four or five times. By the time the deck’s ready we’re already a week into the month.
And the renewals coming up next quarter — how many of those hinge on getting these out faster?
Capture Decisions, Action Items
Action items with the right owner because the transcript has the right speaker.
“3 PM my time” → 1 PM yours
If your prep notes say where Marty’s based, the app does the math. Every deadline from him lands in your own time, with the original zone kept alongside.
Send captured items where they belong
Push action items to Apple Reminders or Calendar in one click. Connect an AI agent and it can pull whatever it needs from the meeting into your task tracker, Slack, or anywhere your workflow lives.
Brightwave Reporting Discovery
Each Brightwave client report takes most of a week to hand-build across five ad platforms, and four renewals next quarter hinge on fixing it. The proposed build: scheduled API pulls into one store, live per-client dashboards, and an ask-anything agent — all on their own stack.

Audio On-Device. You Pick the Provider.
The text AI defaults to a zero-retention, open-source proxy — yours to override, or switch off entirely.
Using it for work? Point the AI at the provider your company already cleared, on your company's key. Read the company-policy guide →
Choose Your AI Provider
The built-in proxy is just the default. Send the text AI to your own Gemini key, a provider your company already approved, or a local model — Ollama, LM Studio.
Local Mode
Go offline at setup or per meeting — transcription and speaker separation stay on your Mac, cloud AI pauses.
No Account Required
No login, no email, no account — your usage is never tied to your identity, and there's no stored copy to breach.
GDPR & CCPA Compliant
Transcripts pass through our proxy and are discarded — never logged, never retained. Opt-in analytics delete after 90 days.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Is it really free?
Yes, for light use. Recording, transcription, and summaries with named speakers need no account or card. The live in-meeting assistant — briefings and follow-up questions — runs on a daily allowance a subscription lifts.
Does it work with Zoom, Teams, and other apps?
Yes. Most AI notetakers join the call as a participant — a bot in the attendee list, a recording badge. MimicScribe captures system audio at the OS level instead, so it works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, or any app that plays sound. Speakers are still separated on-device. No plugins, no extensions, nothing joining the call.
What runs on-device vs. in the cloud?
Audio never leaves your Mac: speech recognition, speaker separation, and echo cancellation always run here. The text-based AI — speaker names, summaries, action items — runs wherever you point it: a local model like Ollama or LM Studio, Apple Intelligence for dictation, your company's approved provider, or your own Gemini key. The default is our open-source Gemini proxy, which keeps no copies. See the technology page for the full breakdown.
Do I need to tell people I'm recording?
Recording laws vary by state and country — some US states and most of Europe require all parties to consent. MimicScribe doesn't announce itself to participants; that's your call. Best practice: tell attendees at the top of the call, and stop if anyone objects. In a regulated industry, check with legal or compliance first.
Where do my meetings live, and can I get them out?
On your Mac, in one searchable library. Nothing syncs to a server, and no account holds your data. As each meeting ends MimicScribe can drop a Markdown note into an Obsidian or Logseq vault, POST to a webhook for Zapier or Make, and hand meetings to AI agents through an MCP server. See the integrations →
What permissions does MimicScribe need?
- Microphone — required for all voice features.
- System Audio Recording — captures audio from video calls. Audio only — no screen capture or video.
- Accessibility optional — voice editing, plus recognizing meeting sites in a browser for automatic recording. Skip it and meeting recording still works, including automatic recording for Teams, Slack, and Zoom.
Can it start recording on its own?
Yes, in beta. Turn it on and calls in Teams, Slack, Zoom, and browser meeting sites like Google Meet record themselves from the start. Anything it doesn't recognize it leaves alone. While one is recording, the menu bar shows “Capturing audio” with the elapsed time, and recordings stop when the call does. See how each app is detected →
Does it handle other languages and technical terms?
Yes. The speech model recognizes 25 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. Meetings that are primarily English with occasional code-switching — a customer quote in Spanish, a German product name — transcribe cleanly and stay searchable. Technical vocabulary, proper nouns, and jargon work without a custom dictionary.
Will MimicScribe slow down my Mac?
No. MimicScribe holds at about 330 MB during a meeting, less than a single browser tab, and doesn't grow as the recording runs long. ML models run on the Neural Engine, not main RAM, so your other apps aren't competing for memory. It runs on any Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 15 or later, including a base M1 with 8 GB; setup downloads about 600 MB of models. There's no Intel build. See full performance details →
