Meeting notes with nothing to hide
Records calls and lectures on your Mac, with no bot and no upload, and answers with the exact moment.
Everything said, kept
Ask, and get the exact moment
Press Command-Return during the call. Every answer links to the second it was said, so you can check before you speak.
Notes that cite the moment
A summary, decisions and to-dos before you’ve closed the call. Every line links to the second it was said.
Visible in every way
Hearkeeper is built to be seen. Everyone in the room knows, every single time.
Tells everyone first. Every recording starts with a consent step. Read the notice aloud, post it in the chat, or both.
Never hidden. The recording pill stays on top and shows up in screenshots and shared screens. There is no hide button, by design.
Keeps a receipt. A consent record is saved with every recording, so you can always show who was told, and when.

Questions, answered
Anything else? Write to hello@hearkeeper.com
Does a bot join my calls?
No. Hearkeeper records your microphone and your computer’s audio directly on your Mac. Nobody new appears in the participant list, and nobody else has to install anything.
Will the other people know they’re being recorded?
Yes, always. Every recording starts with a consent step, the recording pill stays on screen (including in screen shares), and a consent receipt is saved with each recording.
Where is my data stored?
On your Mac. Transcription and summaries run on your computer, and nothing is uploaded unless you connect a team server or your own API key.
Which languages does it understand?
99, the languages Whisper supports, detected automatically: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Japanese and many more. Hearkeeper is made in Reykjavík, so Icelandic, one of the hardest, gets extra care: we measure it on the public FLEURS test set, and a model tuned on Icelandic speech is on the way.
Which apps does it work with?
All of them: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex and FaceTime, plus meetings and lectures in the room.
When can I use it?
Hearkeeper is in private testing on the Mac. Join the waitlist and we will email you when there is a build for you. Other platforms come after the Mac: tell us which one you use when you sign up.
What happens to my email address?
We use it for one thing: to tell you when Hearkeeper is ready. We never sell or share it, and it is deleted the moment you leave the list. The privacy page has the details.
