How it works
Write bare notes the way you already do. Clipper runs quietly on your Mac — no bot joins the meeting.
Clipper captures your computer's audio directly and builds a local transcript with speaker labels and timestamps.
On-device AI merges your notes with the transcript into structured, searchable meeting notes — stored only on your machine.
No meeting bots
Clipper transcribes your Mac's audio directly. Nothing enters the meeting as a participant. Detection is local; recording starts only when you tap Start.
Customizable templates for customer discovery, user interviews, 1 on 1s, and more — all generated locally on your Mac.
Features
Live transcription, meeting detection, hybrid search, and on-device AI — all running locally on your Mac.
Structured sections for takeaways, budget, next steps, and decision criteria.
Real-time speech-to-text with diarization, powered by on-device Whisper.
Granola-style banner when Zoom, Meet, or Teams is detected — you choose to record.
Find anything across meetings with keyword + semantic search, fully offline.
Capture thoughts between calls with inline local AI chat.
Bookmark and revisit the moments that matter from any recording.
Local AI
Local AI models built into Clipper help you finish post-meeting action items without sending data to the cloud.
Ask anything
Chat with your transcript to come back to a point that was made — pure gold for user research, sales calls, and product reviews. Every answer runs locally.
Jim said $180/employee feels high compared to alternatives. Sarah noted finance won't approve without clearer ROI — they want cost projections before Q2 vendor selection.

Privacy by design
Unlike cloud note-takers, Clipper has no servers processing your audio. No model training on your data. No account required to transcribe. Export or share only when you explicitly choose to.
Minimal, fast, no setup. Write bare notes → local AI enhances them. The ability to chat with your transcript without sending it anywhere.
"Clipper solved meeting notes for me — and I never have to think about where my data goes. It just works, entirely on my Mac."
