Memory Notch opens from the notch, follows the conversation with a live transcript, and folds away while recording continues. An optional glow keeps the collapsed recording visible. Search library titles and metadata, replay speaker turns, copy a transcript, or open the files.
No account is needed to record. There is no automatic summary generation. Recordings and transcription stay on-device; licence and update checks are described in our privacy policy. Choose a team or clinical tool if you need those specialized workflows.
