Why local AI notes take minutes on an 8 GB Mac, what was measured, and the three ways to make them fast: a cloud key, a smaller model, or generating notes only when you ask.
What Recordist can never see
There is no Recordist server that holds meetings, no account, no telemetry. What that means in practice, and the short list of things that can leave your machine.

How refunds work (14 days, no questions)
Full refund within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked; Team seats pro-rata. How to ask, how long it takes, and what happens to your key.
Windows and Linux early access status
Windows and Linux versions are built from the same code as the Mac app, but we have not yet verified a full recording on that hardware ourselves. What early access means, what is untested, and how to help.
Getting started
Install, first launch, permissions, moving machines.
Recording & detection
The confirm prompt, which apps are detected, calendar titles, markers.
Transcription & models
Choosing a Whisper model, languages, speed and accuracy.
AI notes & providers
Local models, your own API key, templates, how long notes take.
Privacy, data & permissions
What leaves your machine, the Privacy Ledger, deleting everything.
Billing, refunds & licenses
Plans, keys, cancelling, refunds.
Integrations
Connecting your AI assistant, the Chrome extension, exports. Technical reference lives in the Developers section.
Troubleshooting
Silent recordings, slow models, early-access platforms, known issues.
