What happens next

On a Mac

  1. Open the DMG from your Downloads and drag Private Notetaker into Applications.
  2. Open the app from Applications. It's notarized by Apple; if macOS asks whether to open an app from the internet, click Open.
  3. Let setup download the AI models, once: about 670MB for transcription and about 2.5GB for summaries (about 4GB on computers with more than 16GB of RAM). After that, it works offline.
  4. Allow Microphone and System Audio. Click Enable for each when setup asks, and allow them when macOS asks. That's how it hears both sides of a call, locally.
  5. Hit record on your next meeting. Your 7-day free trial starts when setup finishes, so the download doesn't use it up. Nothing to sign up for.

On Windows

  1. Run the installer from your Downloads. If your browser asks whether to keep the file, choose Keep.
  2. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway. The installer isn't code-signed yet, which is why Windows asks.
  3. Open Private Notetaker and let setup download the AI models, once: about 670MB for transcription and about 2.5GB for summaries (about 4GB on computers with more than 16GB of RAM). After that, it works offline.
  4. Allow the microphone. Click Enable for Microphone and System Audio when setup asks. If Windows asks about the microphone, allow it.
  5. Hit record on your next meeting. Your 7-day free trial starts when setup finishes, so the download doesn't use it up. Nothing to sign up for.
