Memory Notch
MEMORY NOTCH / UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Keep the explanation, not just the slide.
For university life between lectures, seminars, group projects, and office hours. Record permitted sessions on your Mac and keep a source you can return to when the assignment or exam comes around.
Apple Silicon · macOS 26 or later
Trial: up to 5 minutes per recording · US$49 once for longer recordings
Office hours worth revisiting
Ask your tutor whether you can record their explanation. Keep their feedback with the original audio, then work through it at your own pace after the meeting.
Group projects with a record of the discussion
Capture a planning session with your group’s permission. Revisit what was agreed and write your own task list. Memory Notch does not generate action items or provide a shared team workspace.
A library that follows your semester
Use clear recording titles for the course, date, and topic. Search titles and metadata in the app. This is not full-transcript search, so thoughtful naming helps you find material later.
A PRACTICAL START
Before your next session
- Choose microphone capture for an in-person session, or microphone and system audio for an online call.
- Keep the Mac awake and check the input level before the session.
- Review the transcript against the audio and course materials before using it in your work.
Good questions
Will a trial recording cover a whole lecture?
No. Trial recordings stop and save at five minutes. A US$49 one-time licence removes that limit on covered versions.
Does it sync with my classmates or phone?
Memory Notch is a Mac app with a local library, not a shared workspace or mobile app. You control whether and how you share the files, subject to course and participant permissions.
Can it hear a lecturer from the back of a room?
Capture quality depends on the room, distance, microphone, and noise. Test your setup first; a transcript cannot recover speech the microphone did not capture clearly.
Try your own setup.
Start with a short recording. For longer sessions, a US$49 one-time licence includes one year of updates and use on up to five personal Macs. Covered versions stay unlimited. Licence terms.
