Okay, so for the launch we're locked on the 24th — everyone good with that?
Works for me. I'll have the pricing page ready by Thursday.
Perfect. Let's send the waitlist email the morning of.
On it. I'll draft it tonight and share for review.
Captures every call, on every platform
Set it up once. Forget it’s there.
No dashboards to configure, no bots to invite. Sidenote works the way a Mac app should — quietly, in the background.
Install and forget it
Sidenote lives in your menu bar. Grant access once — no account, no credit card, nothing to configure.
It records every call
The moment a meeting starts in any app, Sidenote captures it — every speaker on their own clean track.
Transcript and notes, instantly
Seconds after you hang up, you have an accurate, speaker-labelled transcript and a tidy summary — searchable forever.
It’s free. All of it.
Other meeting note-takers charge a monthly subscription per person. Sidenote gives you the whole thing — unlimited meetings, every feature — for nothing.
Unlimited meetings · every feature · no credit card
Unlimited meetings
Record as many calls as you want, for as long as you want. No monthly caps, no minutes to run out of.
Every feature included
Transcripts, summaries, speaker labels, search and AI chat — all of it. Nothing hidden behind a “Pro” tier.
No credit card
Download and go. There's no trial timer counting down and nothing you'll need to remember to cancel.
Free while we grow
We're focused on building the best Mac meeting app first. Early users keep the best deal we ever offer.
One quiet app. Every meeting covered.
Records any call, any app
Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, FaceTime, a browser tab — if you can hear it, Sidenote can capture it. One free tool for every platform.
Ask your meetings anything
A built-in assistant answers “what did we decide?” across every call you've recorded. Included, like everything else — free.
Questions, answered.
Everything people ask before they trust an app with their meetings.
Is it really free?
Yes — every feature, unlimited meetings, no credit card. We may add paid options for larger teams down the line, but the core Mac app is free, and early users keep the best deal we ever offer.
What's the catch?
There isn't one, and there are no ads in the app. We're building a great product and an audience first — being genuinely free is how we get there. Your meetings stay yours.
How does the recording work?
Sidenote records from your Mac's own audio, so there's no bot to invite and nothing for other people to admit to the call. That's also why it works with every app rather than plugging into just one.
Which apps does it work with?
All of them. Because Sidenote captures your Mac's audio rather than integrating with a single platform, it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, FaceTime, Webex and any other call — desktop app or browser.
Is recording legal?
Recording laws vary by region — some places require everyone's consent. Sidenote makes it easy to record responsibly, but it's on you to let people know when the law requires it.
When can I get it?
We're in the final stretch. Join the waitlist and we'll send your free download link before anyone else.
Your next meeting, transcribed — for free.
Be first in line when Sidenote lands on the Mac App Store. It’s free, and early users shape what we build next.
