Built for meetings, conversations, interviews, lectures, and podcasts. Transcribe locally by default, even offline, with on-device summaries on Mac and cloud options when you need them.
Built for professionals who need local AI transcription for sensitive conversations, interviews, and recordings that should not rely entirely on cloud-based transcription tools.
For journalists, consultants, trainers, recruiters, and others who need to record and transcribe real-world conversations — not just meetings inside a shared meeting app.
For research interviews, lectures, podcasts, field recordings, multilingual conversations, and app audio transcription — especially when minute-based transcription tools become expensive fast.
Each app stands on its own. Together they create a stronger local-first workflow across recording, transcription, review, and summaries.
Everything on iPhone, plus a stronger local workflow for deeper review
Requires Apple Silicon (M1 or newer)

talking.From meetings to interviews to long recordings — here's what real users say. These reviews are from the App Store, unedited.
Been using it to take notes during meetings. Super helpful. Also used the translation feature quite a bit with different languages, and very useful for real time translations.
I’ve been looking for a transcription app that doesn’t push everything to the cloud. Geode actually works offline, and it’s reassuring knowing my audio isn’t being uploaded just to get a transcript. It’s become my go-to for meetings.
Geode has been really helpful for interviews and longer voice notes. I like being able to use it even when I'm not connected, and I feel better knowing my recordings stay on my own device. It saves me time, and I also don't have to stress about minute limits.
Built for online meetings and shared team workflows. But with cloud AI transcription tools, recordings are uploaded for processing, costs often scale by the minute, and long-form or sensitive conversations can become harder to manage.
Good at offline transcription and keeping audio local. But with many local AI transcription apps, once you need AI summaries, translation, or deeper review workflows, you often end up copying transcripts between multiple tools.
Record and transcribe conversations locally by default, with optional AI summaries and translation when you need them. No per-minute billing. No stitching tools together. Privacy and costs stay predictable.
Your core recording and transcription workflow runs locally by default, so transcription costs stay predictable and your audio stays on your device. Cloud transcription and AI summaries are available only when you choose to use them.
Record and transcribe conversations without worrying about minute caps, overage fees, or usage-based transcription pricing.
Choose a transcription plan based on how you work — not how many cloud processing minutes you consume each month.
Use cloud transcription and AI summaries only when you want extra processing power — not because your core workflow depends on the cloud.
