Transcripted

Turn meetings and dictation into clean notes.

Transcripted is a local Mac app that records meetings, captures dictation, and saves clean Markdown files on your Mac. You can read them yourself, or point your agent at the folder later.

What You Get

• Clean meeting notes with speaker names
• Dictation notes for your follow-up thoughts
• Plain Markdown files on disk
• Files you can hand to your agent later
• Local-first storage you can inspect yourself

How To Get Started

1. Download Transcripted from the latest GitHub release.
2. Record a meeting or capture a dictation on your Mac.
3. Open the saved Markdown files yourself, or point your agent at the folder.

Just Markdown. Not A Black Box.

Transcripted starts with readable Markdown. You do not need to learn a proprietary format to get value from it.

Meeting example:

# Product Review

## Summary

Keep annual pricing manual for now.
Onboarding friction is still the blocker.

## Transcript

[00:00] Sarah: Keep annual pricing manual for now.
[00:04] Michael: Onboarding friction is still the blocker.

Dictation example:

# Dictation
2026-04-07 9:15 AM

Need to test the onboarding changes before touching pricing.

The main thing is simple: Transcripted saves readable Markdown files you can open anywhere.

Local By Default

• Audio stays on your Mac
• Saved files stay on your Mac
• Transcripted records from your Mac and does not join as a meeting bot
• By default, captures live under ~/Library/Application Support/Transcripted/captures/

For the full storage map, compatibility paths, and migration details, see docs/storage-paths.md.

Works With Your Agent

Point Claude, Codex, Cursor, Obsidian, or any other file-reading tool at your Transcripted folder.

On supported agents, Transcripted also includes a read-only local MCP server for search, recap, and direct file access.

Build From Source

bash build-deps.sh
bash build.sh

build.sh is the main app build. Package.swift exists for TranscriptedCore tests and smoke coverage, not as the primary app build.

Run Tests

bash run-tests.sh

If you touch Sources/Meeting/ or Sources/TranscriptedCore/, also run:

bash run-integration-smoke.sh

If you touch Package.swift or the public TranscriptedCore seam, also run:

swift test
