Why Recordist may ask for your email

From version 1.0.10, when Recordist first opens, it may ask one thing: where should we send your Pro key? Your 14 days of Pro come as a key by email, so you always have it. There’s no account and no password, and your recordings stay on your own machine.

You can skip it and use Recordist free; the 14 days of Pro need an address for the key. Continue with Free, under the button, finishes setup with no address, and Recordist records, transcribes and searches with no limit. On a copy that was already running before the update, the same question has Not now, and Recordist carries on as it was. On a new install, Continue with Free keeps the 7 days of Pro in the app, which start with your first recorded call of 10 minutes or more, or 14 days after you install.

What we send

Your key first. It is already in place on the machine where you asked, so there’s nothing to paste; the email is the copy you keep for another machine or a reinstall. Then three short notes, the last the day after your 14 days end, each with a stop link. Nothing else follows unless you sign up for it.

Tick Send only my key, no notes when you give the address, and the key comes alone. Just the key, please in the key email does the same later.

What we keep, and for how long

The address until a week after the last note, about three weeks after you gave it, and never more than 30 days. Resend, our email service, keeps its copy of each email for 30 days after it is sent. Once the address is deleted, we keep only a one-way code of it, with the key’s dates and the words you saw, as our record of what you agreed to. We never sell your address or share it for advertising, and our emails carry no tracking pixels and no tracked links. The privacy policy, section 3.2 has every detail.

How to stop, or be forgotten

  • Stop these notes in any note, or the unsubscribe button your mail app shows, stops the notes. Your key keeps working.
  • Stop all email from Recordist to this address, on the same page, stops the notes and, while we still hold the address, our news of new versions too.
  • This wasn’t me, at the end of the key email and every note, deletes the address and keeps only a one-way code of it, so we never write to it again. Use it if someone typed your address by mistake.
  • Or write to support@recordist.app and a person deletes it.

For IT

Your organisation can turn the ask off on every platform, and the download needs no email: see managed settings.

Recordist

Recordist for Mac is downloading.

Thank you for trying Recordist. Three steps and it is ready before your next call. Open it now, so it is set up in time.

  1. 1Open the download and drag Recordist to Applications, then open it from there.
  2. 2Allow the microphone and system audio when your Mac asks, so both sides of the call are heard. Calendar is optional: it names your meetings and who is in them.
  3. 3Close the window when you like. Recordist waits in the menu bar and, when your next call starts, asks: Record this meeting? Nothing is recorded until you say yes.

The first time it opens, Recordist downloads its speech model: 142 MB in English, 466 MB for other languages. That usually takes a minute or two, and you can record once it finishes. The notes engine, 1 to 3 GB, follows in the background.

While it downloads, see a finished call in your browser

Every install includes 7 days of Pro, so your first calls are written up in full.

No call today? Import a recording you already have: in Recordist, Meetings, then Import audio. One of 10 minutes or more starts your 7 days of Pro, and the notes follow the transcript.

While it downloads, get your Free key. More AI notes each month, with no end date. Optional: your download has already started.

Two emails: a link to confirm, then a copy of your key. Nothing else unless you ask. We never sell or share your address, and Resend, our email service, sends them for us. Privacy
