Be in the meeting. Loudly keeps the notes.
Records your calls from the menu bar, transcribes them on your Mac, and writes up what was decided.
Back-to-back calls.
Notes in three places.
The decision nobody wrote down.
Loudly was listening.
One click, and it listens.
Press Record, or say yes when Loudly notices a call. No bot joins. The audio stays on your Mac.
A small pill shows the time from any app. Point at it to follow the live transcript, if you turn it on.
Everything it does. Nothing in your way.
Four small pieces, all within reach of the menu bar.
Calls
When a call seems to start, Loudly asks. Not now is one click.
Dictation
Hold your shortcut, speak, let go. Words land where you were typing.
Notes
Summary, decisions and action items, marked as written from the transcript.
Copy, paste, move on.
Most of what is said in a meeting
was never meant to travel.
Your words. Your call.
Pick a summary provider and see exactly what leaves your Mac. The audio never does.
With no provider, nothing leaves your Mac. You still get the transcript.

Good questions.
Does a bot join my calls?
No. Loudly records your microphone and your Mac's call audio. Nobody sees a new participant.
Which call apps does it work with?
Loudly records the call audio on your Mac, so it does not depend on the app. Calendar events with a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom link get a Join button.
Do the other people know I am recording?
Loudly does not announce it. Telling them, and following the recording laws where you and they are, is up to you.
Where are my recordings and notes?
On your Mac, in ~/.loudly. There is no Loudly account and nothing is uploaded to us.
Does it send my meetings to an AI company?
Only if you choose a cloud summary provider, and then only the transcript and your notes, never the audio. With summaries off or on Ollama, nothing leaves your Mac. Privacy policy
Which languages does it understand?
English and Spanish.
