For you

What 1.0 means for you.

No longer a beta.

Recordist is out of beta. The Terms are version 5, in effect from 18 October 2026, with the privacy notice updated the same day.

Notarised by Apple.

Signed with a Developer ID and checked by Apple before it reaches you. Every update is signed with our own key.

Repairs itself.

After a crash, a forced quit or a full disk, an interrupted recording gets its end, its length and its audio back. The repair runs at every launch, and nothing is deleted.

1 day

Support replies within one business day, and every security report is acknowledged within three.

On from the first call

New, and already working when you update.

Nothing to switch on. These are on from the first call on a Mac.

  1. 01

    The recap.

    When the call ends, a card holds the first decision, what you owe and what you’re owed, each one a press away from the words, while the audio is kept.

  2. 02

    Promises, both ways.

    Two lists, You owe and You’re owed, in the words each promise was made in. Tick one done and Recordist offers a short note to the other person, as a draft in your own mail.

  3. 03

    A card that knows the meeting.

    The record card leads with the meeting’s name and says where it came from. A series keeps the title you gave it.

  4. 04

    Who was this?

    When the other side is still “Speaker”, one tap names them from the meeting’s invite. Names come from the invite or your tap, never from a voice.

  5. 05

    Names spelled right.

    Add the clients and products you want spelled correctly. The people on each invite are added for that call.

  6. 06

    One line for the day.

    The menu bar says your day in one line: your calls, their time, and the promises you owe tomorrow.

Yours to turn on

Also in 1.0, off until you turn it on

  • Promise LedgerSettings → NotesWhen a later call says a promise of yours was kept, Promises offers Done with the words that said it, and you confirm; nothing closes by itself. Shown only to you, on this computer.
  • Instant ReplaySettings → Audio, on the MacDuring a call, one key replays the last 15 seconds to you while the recording carries on. The replay comes from the recording itself: nothing is lost from the file and nothing is added to it.
  • Consent PassportSettings → Record promptEach recording carries how the notice reached the others and when you marked it as given, and whether a plain yes was heard from the other side in the first minutes, with the time and the line it points at. It never says agreement was given.
  • Recordist AgentSettings → AgentsA connected assistant may suggest an action on your record. Each suggestion is a card that says exactly what Approve does and waits; one Approve runs one action, once. Not now, or a suggestion left to time out, never runs.

Other new features are off until you choose them, and an organisation can keep them off on the Macs it manages. Every change in 1.0
