Get Pro

7 days of Pro first, with no card. Cancel any time and keep everything you recorded.

Private by design. The audio never reaches us and nothing joins the call. By default Recordist asks before it records, and it works offline.

What Pro does for you

  • Every call you record, written up with decisions and next steps
  • A follow-up email from the call, to read and send
  • What you owe and what you’re owed, from every call
  • Before you meet someone again, see what you agreed last time
  • Ask your calls “What did we agree with Sarah?”
  • Tap a note to hear it said, while the audio is kept
  • Ready-to-send PDF and Word copies of every call
  • Where things stand with each client, on one page (Beta)

Everything Free keeps comes with it, from the recording to every export.

Pro customers can be invited to share their story and their practice on recordist.app and our LinkedIn page. How it works

Subscribe by 8 January 2027 and your price never goes up for as long as you stay subscribed. Everything we add to Pro comes with it, at no extra cost. From 9 January 2027, Pro is $15 a month or $144 a year for new subscribers.

Writing up calls a week at minutes each comes to over 75 hours a year, across 46 working weeks. On Pro, Recordist writes them up and gets each follow-up ready for you to read, change and send.

On both plans. Every call is recorded and transcribed on your own machine, with no time limit. You can search every word, play it back while the audio is kept and export it, even offline, and connect Claude and other AI assistants to your calls.

On every plan, by default Recordist asks before it records, and it gives you the words to tell the other people. Telling them is yours to do, and the app keeps a mark of when you did.

On Free, notes and transcripts export as Markdown, plain text and JSON. Pro adds PDF and Word, and SRT and VTT subtitles. An assistant you connect reads your transcripts through its own tools on every plan.

If you installed Recordist before 10 November 2026, Free keeps everything it gave you then, Prep Briefs from your calendar too, until 31 December 2026.

After one call, on Pro

The email you owe, ready to send.

Pro writes up the call and gets the follow-up ready. Both are checked against the transcript before you see them.

On the Fast built-in model, no email is filled in for you. You tick the lines you want, and the draft is made from exactly those.

A staged call. The people are made up and the client’s name was changed; the email and the notes are otherwise Recordist’s own, unedited. Pro

Follow-up emailScope call with Hannah

Hi Hannah,

Thanks for the update. We're moving forward with phase two starting from the 2nd of November. You'll receive the revised scope by Thursday. The board pack will be sent by the 4th. The board meeting is on the 14th. Interview notes will remain separate from the board pack.

Next steps:

You will send the board pack by the 4th.

I'll share the revised scope by Thursday.

Talk soon.

Yours to read, change and send. Recordist sends nothing.

Action items

  • You · 22 October I will get you the revised scope by Thursday
  • Hannah · 4 November I will send the board pack by the 4th
  • You keep the interview notes separate from the board pack

Open question

  • Do we need the second workshop before the board meets?

Recorded on a MacBook Air; the notes written on that machine on the General meeting template, with Settings → AI notes set to Balanced. The call’s audio is not published.

On every plan

Everything that keeps the record whole is on every plan.

The record card, Copy notice and the mark of when you gave it, legal hold, edit history, a fingerprint that shows each audio file is unchanged, the Client work preset, the Privacy Ledger and export of everything you made, with no time limit.

On every plan, by default Recordist asks before it records, never sends us the audio, and lets you choose how long the audio is kept.

The price on this page is all you pay us. The app is the only thing we sell, and there are no investors and no data business behind it. Questions worth asking about your last client call

The promise

Your calls stay yours. We have nowhere to keep them.

Your recordings, transcripts and notes stay with you, never with us. Recordist has no server that could hold them. We keep nothing about your meetings: only the email you give us on a receipt or on one of our forms, and what each form on this site says it stores.

If you choose a cloud AI provider for notes, the transcript goes straight from Recordist to that provider under your own account. That is your choice, off by default, and listed in the Privacy Ledger. On a Mac your organisation manages, it can choose to archive each meeting to its own storage. We never receive it.

Billing details

Prices are before tax. Checkout adds any sales tax that applies where you live and shows the total before you pay. Pro is sold through Link, a service of Stripe. On a Mac it needs macOS 14.6 or later on Apple silicon; on Windows, 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with an AVX2 processor; on Linux, x86_64 with glibc 2.35 or newer. There is no lifetime plan. Pro for a team of 3 to 49 people is bought in one checkout, at the Pro yearly price for each person; a larger organisation can talk to us.

Pro is not yet offered to customers whose billing address is in Quebec, because the French version of our terms is not ready. If a purchase is made with a Quebec billing address, we refund it in full and tell you by email. Pro n'est pas encore offert au Québec. La version française de nos conditions est en préparation.

Recordist is made by Havihi Digital Inc., 2 McMillan Place, Welland, Ontario L3B 0L5, Canada, telephone +1 (416) 477-3314. Write to support@recordist.app and a person answers.

Something else? Write to support@recordist.app and a person answers.

What does the 7-day trial include, and what happens when it ends?
A week of every Pro feature, with no card and no account: a Prep Brief from your calendar before you meet someone again, every call written up, the follow-up email with the notes on every built-in template except Lecture, the promises from every call, and Ask. On the Fast built-in model, no email is filled in for you. You tick the lines you want, and the draft is made from exactly those. Your 7 days start with your first recorded call of 10 minutes or more, or 14 days after you install, whichever comes first, so a quiet first week doesn't use them up. You can subscribe at any time, including during your 7 days; Pro carries on under your key, and your first paid month or year starts the day you pay. Three days before the 7 days end, and again on the last day, the app shows what you recorded, what stays free and what stops. When they end, nothing is taken from your data: recordings, transcripts, search, playback from the transcript while the audio is kept, and export of everything as Markdown, plain text and JSON stay free with no limit. The Pro parts pause: AI notes drop to 3 a month, with promises found only in those. Ask, the follow-up drafts, Prep Briefs (from your Mac's calendar or a calendar feed), the card before a call, the Monday list and Where things stand stop until you subscribe. So do one tap from a note to its moment, PDF, Word and subtitle exports, copying notes or a whole client for an AI, the most accurate speech model and the names filled in for you.
Is anything that keeps a call safe behind Pro?
No. By default it asks before it records. The record card, Copy notice and the mark of when you gave it, legal hold, edit history, a fingerprint that shows each audio file is unchanged, the Client work preset, the Privacy Ledger and export of everything you made are free on every plan, with no time limit. Pro is the work around the call: the Prep Brief from your calendar before it, and the notes, the follow-up draft, the promises and Ask after it.
What is the launch price?
Pro is $9 a month, or $90 a year, for anyone who subscribes by 8 January 2027. Your price stays the same for as long as you stay subscribed. From 9 January 2027, Pro is $15 a month or $144 a year for new subscribers. The end date is the same for everyone: the end of 8 January 2027, Toronto time.
Does my price go up after 8 January 2027?
No. If you subscribe by 8 January 2027, you pay $9 a month or $90 a year for as long as your subscription stays active, including every renewal. The price is tied to the interval you chose; to switch between monthly and annual billing after 8 January 2027 and keep the launch price, write to support@recordist.app and we switch it for you. The launch price ends if the subscription ends: if you cancel, or if a payment fails and is not fixed within Stripe's retry period of about two weeks, and you subscribe again later, you pay the price for new subscribers at that time. Everything we add to Pro comes with it, at no extra cost.
What if paying for Pro is hard right now?
Ask for more time at recordist.app/more-time. If you don't subscribe, we give you Pro at no cost for one, three or six months, as you choose. If you subscribe, write to us and we'll work it out with you. A person reads every request and answers within two business days. We don't ask for proof or a reason, and nothing on your machine changes whatever we answer.
What counts as an “AI note”?
Each time a model writes or rewrites a meeting's notes counts as one, whatever the template: the summary, decisions, questions and action items together are one. Basic notes written without a model (with No AI chosen, for a very short meeting, or after a provider error) don't count. Transcription and search are never metered.
How long is the audio kept?
By default, a meeting's audio is deleted after 30 days, and the transcript, notes and search index stay until you delete them. You can change this in Settings: keep audio for 7, 30 or 90 days, forever, or delete it as soon as the transcript is written. This works the same on every plan.
Can the notes be wrong?
Yes. Transcripts and notes are produced by software and can be wrong. Check them against the recording while the audio is kept: 30 days by default, or as long as you choose in Settings. Before the follow-up draft is saved, it is checked against the transcript, and a sentence made of words nobody said is taken out.
How do licence keys work?
If you start checkout from the Recordist app, version 1.0.9 or later, Pro usually switches on there by itself within a minute or so while the app is open. Either way, we email you a key in the form RECORDIST-…, with an Open in Recordist button above it: press it, press Open in Recordist again on the page that opens, and confirm in the app, or paste the key into Settings → License. The app verifies the signature on your machine, and no account is needed. Pro keys work on the Macs and PCs you use personally. Each key works until 7 days after the period you paid for. From version 1.0.5, with update checks on, the app brings in each renewed key by itself once the payment goes through, so there is nothing to paste. For this the app registers the key once with our licence service; Settings → Privacy lists each request, and the privacy policy says exactly what is sent. Every renewal also emails you the new key. When a payment is refunded, the key it bought ends. A key bought at checkout shows who it is licensed to: the business name you gave, or else the billing name.
Can I switch between monthly and annual?
Yes. Until 8 January 2027, open the billing portal from recordist.app/billing and choose the other interval; a launch subscriber who switches then pays the launch price for the new interval. From 9 January 2027, write to support@recordist.app and we switch it for you, at your launch price if you subscribed by 8 January 2027. Updating your card and cancelling stay in the portal.
Does Pro renew automatically?
Yes. Pro renews every month or every year until you cancel. If you subscribed by 8 January 2027, it renews at your launch price for as long as the subscription stays active. If you subscribed from 9 January 2027, it renews at the current price; if that price changes, we email you 30 days before the renewal it applies to, and you can cancel before then. If a payment fails, Stripe retries for about two weeks and emails you; if it is not fixed by then, the subscription ends. You can cancel at any time from recordist.app/billing, on Link's order page, or with the Cancel by email button on that page. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for, and nothing on your machine is deleted. Monthly renewals are not refunded. Cancel any time and Pro runs to the end of the month you paid for. A yearly renewal is refunded if you ask within 7 days after the renewal date. We email you 30 days before it renews. How refunds work. Nothing here limits the rights the law gives you where you live.
How do refunds work?
Try every Pro feature free for 7 days before you pay, with no card and no account. Because you can try first, payments are not refunded, except in these cases. Within 24 hours of the first payment of a subscription, you can ask for a refund, once per customer. To ask, email us from the address on your receipt, and we refund it and cancel the subscription in the same step. A yearly renewal is refunded if you ask within 7 days after the renewal date. We email you 30 days before it renews. When we refund a first payment or a yearly renewal because you asked, we refund what you paid less the fee Stripe kept on that payment, and nothing more is taken off. Our email shows both amounts. If you ask on the day of the payment, we refund it in full: the day counts by the date on your receipt or by the date where you live, whichever suits you. Billing errors, refunds for a problem or a change on our side, and any refund the law requires, such as an EU or UK withdrawal, are paid in full, with nothing deducted. Billing errors, such as a double charge or a charge after you cancelled, are always refunded. Monthly renewals are not refunded. Cancel any time and Pro runs to the end of the month you paid for. Otherwise payments are not refunded, including when you change your mind or do not use Pro, except where our Terms (recordist.app/terms) or the law where you live require it. If you live in the EU or the UK, you have the right to withdraw that the law there gives you, and Link, the seller of record, handles it under its terms: how withdrawal works. When a payment is refunded in full, or in full less Stripe's fee, the licence it bought ends. How refunds work. Nothing here limits the rights the law gives you where you live.
What currency do you charge in, and is tax included?
Prices are in US dollars, before tax. Checkout adds any sales tax that applies where you live and shows the total before you pay. Pro is sold through Link, a service of Stripe.
Can my firm buy Recordist for several people?
Yes. Each key is personal, and a team of 3 to 49 people buys Pro in one checkout on the pricing page. A team pays what one person pays for Pro yearly, per person, on one invoice. One email to the buyer carries a personal key for each person, numbered; each person pastes their own, and a reply to that email adds or removes seats. For a larger team, or for your security questionnaire, talk to us, or see Ask IT for Recordist. IT can set a policy on the Macs it manages with managed settings, which work the same on every plan.
Can I be featured as a Pro customer?
By invitation. After a month of Pro, we may ask whether you would like to share your story and your practice on recordist.app and our LinkedIn page. You approve every word before anything goes up, nothing about your clients is ever shared, and you can take it down at any time. Each story says plainly that you are a Pro customer, featured with your permission. Nothing is paid for it, your price stays as it is, and we never ask you for a rating or a review. If your professional body has rules on endorsements, those come first.
Can I pay once instead of subscribing?
Pro is a subscription, monthly or yearly, so that Recordist keeps being maintained; over a year the yearly price is the lower one. Recording, transcription, search and export stay free, with no time limit and nothing to buy, and what is on your machine stays there whatever you decide.

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
