“A native app that records locally and encrypts everything was an easy sell to our security team. No bot joining calls made it easier still.”
Made for the way you work on a Mac.
Mac app questions, answered.
- Does a bot join my calls when CraftNote records on Mac?
- No. CraftNote captures your Mac's system audio and microphone together at the system level, so nothing joins the call. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and anything else playing on your Mac. An optional meeting bot is available if your team prefers one.
- Does CraftNote for Mac work offline?
- Yes. CraftNote records locally even without an internet connection — on a flight or in a dead zone — and transcribes and syncs your notes as soon as you reconnect.
- Does the Mac app run on Apple Silicon and Intel?
- Yes. CraftNote for Mac ships as a universal build, so it runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) and Intel Macs.
- Is CraftNote for Mac free?
- The Mac app is free to download and includes the free tier: 5 AI-generated notes and 5 hours of recording per month. Pro unlocks unlimited AI notes, recordings up to 4 hours, and advanced AI features.
- Do my notes sync between Mac, iPhone, Android, and the web?
- Yes. Recordings, transcripts, and AI notes sync across the Mac app, the Windows app, the iOS and Android apps, and the web app — record on your Mac and pick it up on your phone.
