Persist Notes
Record meetings, transcribe on your computer, keep files you own
A meeting recording app that transcribes locally on your computer and stores everything in Markdown files you control, without requiring a bot in the call.
About this launch
Persist Notes is a desktop application that records meetings directly from your computer's audio, transcribes them locally using on-device speech recognition, and stores everything as Markdown files you fully own. The app captures your microphone and call audio on separate channels, works with any meeting tool including Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, and requires no bot in the call.
Meetings are automatically organized by project and can be summarized using Claude AI through your own account. The app provides features like action tracking with owners and due dates, meeting synthesis that updates automatically, and a query interface to ask questions about your meetings. All recordings, transcripts, and files remain on your computer and can be opened in any text editor.
Without Claude, the app still records and transcribes normally; summaries are optional. The free plan includes 5 hours of recording per month with every feature, while paid plans offer more recording hours and additional computers.

Shopper questions
Do I need Claude to use Persist Notes?
Claude is required only for generating summaries. Recording and transcription work without Claude; without it you get the full transcript but no summary.
Does the audio leave my computer?
No. Recording and transcription happen on your computer. Only the transcript text and your notes go to Claude through your account to generate the summary. The audio, images, and voice profile never leave your computer.
What happens to my files if I cancel my subscription?
Your files stay in the folder you chose, no matter what. The app never hides or deletes your meetings because of your plan, whether free, expired subscription, or no internet.
Does Persist Notes work with all meeting platforms?
Yes, it works with any calling tool including Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, because the app records your computer's audio without joining the meeting.
Can I move my meetings to another computer?
Yes, copy your meetings folder to the other computer and choose that folder in the app.
