Bought separately from the Mac and Windows licence. Already have a licence? [Find your key.](https://memorynotch.app/account) Questions? [Say hello.](mailto:hello@xyspace.dev) A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ## Good questions. More detail in the [specifications](https://memorynotch.app/specs/) and [comparisons](https://memorynotch.app/vs/). Does it work offline? Yes. Recording, transcription, and speaker labelling run on your Mac. Release installers include the models. The app also checks for updates and revoked licences when online; those requests do not contain your recordings. You can turn off automatic update checks in Settings. How does the trial work? The trial includes recording, transcription, speaker labels, and your local library. Each trial recording can last up to five minutes. At 5:00 it stops and saves everything captured. A US$79 one-time licence removes the recording limit. What does a licence include? Unlimited recording length on covered versions, use on up to five of your own Macs and PCs, and one year of updates. Versions released within your update window remain unlimited after it ends. Pay once, or monthly for US$7.99 with no commitment. You can request a full refund of the one-time licence within 30 days. Is there an iPhone app? Yes. Memory Notch for iPhone and iPad is on the App Store, free to download, with the same five-minute free recordings. A one-time US$5.99 in-app purchase (the US price) removes the limit. It is bought separately from the Mac and Windows licence, and each device keeps its own recordings and notes. Is there an Android app? Yes. Memory Notch for Android is on Google Play, free to download, with the same five-minute free recordings; your first two longer recordings run to the end. A one-time US$5.99 in-app purchase (the US price) removes the limit. It needs Android 12 or newer, and 8 GB of RAM for live transcription (with less, the transcript is made when you press Stop). It is bought separately from the Mac and Windows licence and the iPhone app. Which Macs can run it? An Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later. A physical notch is optional: on other displays, Memory Notch appears as a capsule below the menu bar. The installer is about 1.6 GB because it includes the models; recordings need additional space. Can it record both sides of a call? Yes. It captures your microphone and system audio together, with your permission. macOS Screen Recording permission is needed for system audio, even when you are not saving a video. Keep the display awake during calls. For AirPods, choose your Mac’s built-in microphone. Where are my recordings saved? In ~/memory on your Mac. Each recording gets a folder containing its audio, transcript, and Markdown note, plus video if you enabled screen recording. You can open the files directly and keep them independently of the app. Can Memory Notch type what I say into other apps? Yes. Double-tap either ⌘ key, say a phrase, and after two seconds of quiet it’s pasted into the app you’re typing in, such as Slack, Mail, or Terminal. Your speech is recognised on your Mac and the audio isn’t saved. Dictation is free, with or without a licence. It needs macOS’s Accessibility permission. On Windows, double-tap Ctrl instead; no permission is needed. Can I use the notes with my AI tools? Yes, with a tool that has access to local files. Give it access to the recordings you choose. No Memory Notch API, MCP server, or export is required. If you send notes to a cloud AI service, that service’s data policy applies. Does it generate summaries or search every spoken word? Memory Notch records and transcribes conversations. Automatic summaries are not included. Library search looks at note titles and metadata; it is not full-transcript search. Speaker labels are numbered rather than names, and overlapping voices can be difficult to separate. Which devices does it run on? Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android. The Mac app needs an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 26 or later. The Windows app, in alpha, needs Windows 11 (64-bit). The iPhone and iPad app needs iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later, and the Android app needs Android 12 or newer. On each one, recording and transcription happen on the device itself. Does one licence cover Mac and Windows? Yes. One licence, paid once or monthly, works on up to five of your own computers, in any mix of Macs and PCs. The iPhone and Android apps are separate: each has its own one-time in-app purchase that removes the limit.

It installs for you only, with no administrator prompt. 2. 2 ### Choose Run anyway Windows may say “Windows protected your PC”, because the alpha isn’t signed yet. Choose More info, then Run anyway. 3. 3 ### Click the notch A small black pill appears at the top centre of your screen. Click it and press record. WHAT WORKS IN THE ALPHA ## Record the meeting. *Read it as it happens.* It’s early, and it has rough edges. Ask AI comes later. ### Both sides of the call Your microphone and your PC’s own audio, recorded together, with no bot joining the meeting. ### A live transcript, with speakers Transcribed on your PC as it happens, labelled Speaker 1, Speaker 2. ### A Library of your notes Each recording saved as audio and a Markdown note, in the same format as the Mac app’s. ### The notch and the tray The pill stays above your other windows and shows the time while you record. Point at it and it opens; move away and it closes. The M in the system tray starts a recording, hides the notch or quits. ### Vocabulary Teach it the names and jargon it keeps getting wrong, and how they’re spelled. The same vocabulary.md as the Mac app. ### Record the screen too Turn on Record screen and the video is saved beside the note, with the same sound. Off until you switch it on. ### Dictation Double-tap Ctrl, say a sentence, and it’s typed into whatever app you’re in. Never into a password field. ### Updates, as on the Mac It checks for a new version; choose Update and it downloads it, checks it’s signed by us, and installs it when you restart. ### Your licence Paste your Memory Notch key in Settings. Without one, recordings stop at five minutes, as on the Mac. WHAT YOUR PC NEEDS ## Runs on most PCs. Settings in the app shows which it’s using: your graphics card, or the processor. - ### Windows 11, 64-bit (x64). Windows 10 isn’t supported: the way the app records your PC’s audio needs Windows 11. Windows on ARM hasn’t been tested. - ### A graphics card with Vulkan, recommended. Most AMD, Intel and NVIDIA graphics from the last several years have it, including the graphics built into many laptops. Keep its driver up to date. - ### No suitable graphics card? Transcription runs on the processor instead. It’s slower: on older or smaller laptops the live transcript can fall behind. - ### 8 GB of memory or more. - ### About 2 GB of disk space for the app and its speech models, plus room for your recordings. A SMALL APP. A SIMPLE PRICE. ## Try it first. *Keep recording for longer.* Start monthly, or pay once. Your recordings are always yours. YOURS TO TRY ### Try Memory Notch.

[Say hello.](mailto:hello@xyspace.dev) A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ## Good questions. Tell us how it went, which graphics card you have and what broke: [support@memorynotch.app](mailto:support@memorynotch.app). Is it finished? No. It’s an alpha: it records, transcribes, labels speakers, saves notes, records the screen and takes dictation, and it has rough edges. Ask AI comes later. Does my Mac licence work? Yes. A Memory Notch licence is US$79, once, for up to five of your own devices: Macs, Windows PCs, or a mix. Paste the same key into the Windows app’s Settings. Does it send my recordings anywhere? No. Recording and transcription run on your PC, and your audio, screen recordings, dictation, transcripts and notes are never sent to us. Its only network request is the check for a new version, which you can turn off in Settings. See section 14 of the privacy policy. Which does it use, my graphics card or the processor? Settings in the app says which: your graphics card, through Vulkan, or the processor when there isn’t a suitable card. I have the zip version. It keeps working, and from 0.3.0 on it updates itself. To switch to the installer, quit it from the M in the system tray, delete its folder and run the installer; your notes are kept. Version 0.2.0 or earlier doesn’t update itself, so download it again once. Can I use it without installing? Yes: the portable zip has the same files. Extract all of it first (right-click, Extract all) and open MemoryNotch.exe from the extracted folder; opening it from inside the zip leaves the speech models behind. How do I remove it? In Windows Settings, open Apps, then Installed apps, and uninstall Memory Notch. Your notes stay in the memory folder in your user folder.

A one-time in-app purchase removes the limit: US$5.99 in the US, and the App Store shows the price for your country. There is no subscription. Can it record phone calls? No. iPhone and iPad do not let apps record phone calls or other apps’ audio. Use Memory Notch for meetings in the room or on speaker. Can I use my notes with AI? Yes, when you choose to.
