Record a meeting with Voice Memos on your Apple Watch, iPhone or Mac. A few minutes later there's a note with the summary, decisions, action items and a transcript labelled by speaker. Nothing leaves your Mac.

Whosayz lives in your menu bar and watches your Voice Memos. You keep recording the way you already do.
Voice Memos on your Watch, iPhone, iPad or Mac. In a meeting room, on a walk, or next to a Zoom call.
iCloud brings the recording to your Mac. Whosayz picks it up as soon as it lands, and shows its progress in the menu bar.
If there's a voice it hasn't heard, it asks who's who and lets you listen to each one. After that it recognises them.
Summary, decisions, action items with owners, and the full transcript, saved as Markdown in the folder you choose.
It works from a recording you made, so nobody gets a "Notetaker has joined" message.
Transcription, speaker detection and the summary all run on your Mac. Good for hiring, board, legal and medical conversations.
The hallway conversation and the whiteboard session get captured, because the recorder is on your wrist.
Every word in the transcript plays the recording from that moment. When the transcript looks wrong, you can hear what was actually said.
"What did Dan ask about pricing, and what did we answer?" The answer comes from the whole transcript and is saved with the note.
Rename a voice everywhere, move one line to someone else, or merge a person who got split in two. It finds other lines that sound like them.
A voice memo is the fastest way to capture a thought. Soon Whosayz will notice what you asked for and act on it, still on your Mac, and always asking before it does anything outside it.
Set up a call with Priya next week about the launch.
A calendar invite drafted with the right people and a suggested time, ready to send.
Idea: what would it take to run the summaries on a phone?
An idea note with what you said, plus starting points for digging in.
Took my 8 a.m. meds, and went for a 30-minute run.
An entry in your habit and health log, with the time, so you can see streaks and spot misses.
Remind me to send Marcus the contract on Friday.
A reminder in Apple Reminders, due when you said.
One press on your wrist. On Apple Watch Ultra, set the Action button to Voice Memos (Settings → Action Button on the watch). Press it, say what you need, press again. The memo syncs to your Mac and Whosayz turns it into the right action, with no phone and no app to open. On other Apple Watch models, put the Voice Memos complication on your watch face.
Measured on an M4 Max with a 56-minute, six-person meeting; older Macs take longer. Each stage, to scale:
Three open models, running locally. No account, no subscription, no upload.
Speech recognition on the Mac's GPU, with a timestamp for every word.
Separates the voices, and matches them against people you've named before.
Writes the summary and answers your questions. Optional; turn it off if you only want transcripts.
Whosayz is a free beta. It isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it once.
Download Whosayz, open the file and drag Whosayz into Applications. Then open it from Applications.
A setup window downloads the speech model, sets up summaries with Ollama (or skips them), asks to read Voice Memos, and lets you pick where notes go.
No. Recordings, transcripts, voices and notes stay on your Mac. Whosayz only goes online to download the models during setup. See Privacy.
No. It works from your own recording. As with any recording, let people know you're recording and follow the laws where you are.
Yes. Drop any audio or video file into the Meetings Inbox folder in Documents, or onto the Whosayz icon.
Plain Markdown files in a folder you choose, ready for Obsidian or any notes app. You can copy a meeting into Google Docs or Apple Notes with formatting.
Transcripts and speaker labels will. For summaries, pick a smaller model in Settings, or turn summaries off.
Not right now. It needs an Apple silicon Mac.
It's free while it's in beta.
