Your recordings, transcripts and notes exist only on your device. Recordist has no server that could hold them. The only thing we ever keep is the email on your receipt.
If you choose a cloud AI provider for notes, the transcript goes from your computer to that provider under your own account. That is your choice, off by default, and listed in the Privacy Ledger.

This is the short version of the launch film: the fake ad, the Wi-Fi switch, and the receipt that reads zero. It plays muted with captions; turn the sound on for the narration. We serve it from our own domain with no third-party player and no tracking.
Before you pay
Recordist is an independent product in its first public release, with the limits stated plainly. Transcripts and notes are generated by software and can be wrong; check them before you rely on them.
Current limits
Made for the Mac first.
Requires macOS 14.6 or later on Apple silicon. The Mac app is what we use every day. Windows and Linux versions are in early access. Early access means the build is produced from the same code as the Mac app and compiles in our test pipeline, but we have not yet verified a full recording on that hardware ourselves. It may fail to record, or capture only one side of a call. Please tell us what happens.
Local notes take a few minutes on an 8 GB Mac.
With the built-in engine's default model, a 40-minute meeting takes about five minutes to summarise on an 8 GB Apple-silicon Mac; the larger model you can pick takes about 12. 16 GB machines are roughly three times faster. With your own cloud key, notes arrive in about 20 seconds. Transcription is fast either way, and the app shows the estimate before it starts.
Early builds are not yet notarised by Apple.
Until Apple notarisation lands, macOS will warn on first launch. Right-click the app, choose Open, and confirm once. A checksum is published for every release so you can verify the download.
Everyone on the other side of the call shares one speaker label.
Your own voice is always attributed correctly because it is recorded on its own channel. The other participants are labelled as one remote speaker for now; you can rename that speaker per meeting.
RECORDIST-…. Paste it into Settings → License. The app verifies the signature offline; no account and no phone-home are required. Pro keys work on the devices you use personally.Wren · Recordist's support assistant (AI)
It answers from the Help Center and isn't a human.
Hi, I'm Wren, an AI assistant, not a person. I answer from Recordist's help articles and docs. I can't see anything on your computer, I can't access your recordings, and I can't issue refunds or make commitments on Recordist's behalf, and what I say about recording laws is general information, not legal advice. If you'd rather talk to a human, choose "Talk to a human" at any time and someone at Recordist will reply within one business day. Please don't paste transcripts or audio here; I don't need them and we never ask for them.
