Pro for each person, and for IT:

What firms get
  • By default, each person’s recordings, transcripts and notes stay on their own laptop
  • Managed settings for the Macs IT manages: notes written on the laptop, a cap on how long audio is kept, legal hold
  • Notes by the built-in engine, or with your firm’s own Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible key
  • The vendor pack: a one-page security brief, a pre-filled questionnaire, our data-processing position
  • A reply from hello@recordist.app within one business day

The surprise is a thank-you we choose to give, not part of Pro, its price or anything you buy, so please decide on Pro for what it does today. It is one e-gift card per person, household and payment method, from a store we choose, sent by email once a month of a Pro plan started by 30 November 2026 has been paid and its refund window has passed: a gift card of a value we set, larger for a yearly plan and the same for everyone on the same plan, with nothing left to chance. It has no cash value, cannot be exchanged or transferred, is subject to the store’s own terms, and is not part of Teams plans. We may change or end it at any time, and decide who qualifies, including refusing it where we see misuse; if we end it, anyone who has already qualified still gets theirs. Our responsibility for it goes no further than the card’s value. Questions: hello@recordist.app.

Not sure? Start free, and decide after your first call.

What you need

What we keep. What you type above, stored for us by our hosting provider, Cloudflare, and sent to our own inbox. We use it only to answer you about Recordist for your team: no marketing email and no list. We delete the enquiry after 12 months, and the copy in our inbox as we do support email, up to 2 years after the last message; we delete both sooner if you ask. To limit repeated tries we keep short-lived counts against your connection's IP address and your email address; your IP address is never kept with your enquiry. More in the privacy policy.

Follow-up emailScope call with Priya

Hi Priya, 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
  • Priya · 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 laptop 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 every export, 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 promise

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

Your recordings, transcripts and notes stay with you, on your laptop, 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 from your laptop 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. Windows and Linux are a preview. 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.

Questions

The trial, the price, keys and refunds.

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: every call written up, the follow-up email drafted with the notes on every built-in template except Lecture, and Ask. 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 year starts the day you pay. Two days before the 7 days end, the app shows what you recorded and what stays free. When they end, nothing is taken from your data: recordings, transcripts, search and Prep Briefs (on a Mac) stay free with no limit. The Pro parts pause: AI notes drop to 3 a month, and Ask and follow-up emails switch off until you subscribe.
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 every export are free on every plan, with no time limit. Pro is the work after the call: the notes, the follow-up draft and Ask.
What is the launch price?
Pro is $9 a month, or $90 a year, for anyone who subscribes by 30 November 2026. Your price stays the same for as long as you stay subscribed. From 1 December 2026, Pro is $15 a month or $144 a year for new subscribers. The end date is the same for everyone: the end of 30 November 2026, Toronto time.
Does my price go up after 30 November 2026?
No. If you subscribe by 30 November 2026, 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 30 November 2026 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.
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 laptop 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, search and Prep Briefs 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?
After checkout, we email you a key in the form RECORDIST-…. Paste it into Settings → License. The app verifies the signature on your laptop, 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; the privacy policy says exactly what that sends. 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 30 November 2026, open the billing portal from recordist.app/billing or the link in your Stripe receipt and choose the other interval; a launch subscriber who switches then pays the launch price for the new interval. From 1 December 2026, write to support@recordist.app and we switch it for you, at your launch price if you subscribed by 30 November 2026. 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 30 November 2026, it renews at your launch price for as long as the subscription stays active. If you subscribed from 1 December 2026, 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 laptop 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 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 Prep Briefs (on a Mac) stay free, with no time limit and nothing to buy, and what is on your laptop stays there whatever you decide.

Recordist

Recordist for Mac is downloading.

Thank you for trying Recordist. Three small 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. 10 AI notes a month instead of 3, 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
