Priya Let's walk through the contract terms. We need to finalise the indemnity clause before Friday.
Marcus The liability cap looks reasonable. I'd recommend we counter at two times annual fees.
Priya Agreed. Let's draft the response and send it to opposing counsel today.
Elena I'll prepare the summary and flag the outstanding items for review.

The problem

Keep sensitive recordings off transcription servers

01

Third-party processing

Cloud transcription sends recordings and transcripts to infrastructure outside your direct control, adding another party to your data flow.

02

Meeting bots

Many tools add a visible bot to calls or upload audio after a meeting. Remark records locally without another participant joining.

03

Provider retention

External services set their own storage, access, and deletion policies. Remark keeps recordings and transcripts in local files you control.

How it works

Three things Remark does

01

Dictate

Type with your voice in any app — emails, code editors, documents, Slack. Five formatting modes auto-switch based on context. Draft emails by speaking, vibe-code with voice, or provide context to AI tools — all hands-free.

02

Record meetings

Record calls with automatic speaker identification — who said what, with timestamps. Client calls, board meetings, depositions, therapy sessions — any Zoom, Teams, or Meet call. No bots join your call, no audio leaves your device.

03

Search, summarise, export

Searchable transcripts with summaries and action items. Export to Markdown, DOCX, JSON, or auto-save to your Obsidian vault. Meeting notes and client call transcripts, all searchable in one place.

Features

Built for people who care where their words go

01

Voice dictation

Type with your voice in any app — emails, code editors, documents, Slack. Casual for Slack, professional for email, code for VS Code. Switches automatically based on context. Draft emails, vibe-code, provide context to AI tools.

02

Meeting transcription

Record calls with automatic speaker identification — who said what, with timestamps. Identifies up to 10 speakers. Cross-meeting voice recognition learns who's who over time. Meeting notes and client calls in one place.

03

Fully private

Your conversations are processed by AI models running entirely on your device. On-device speech recognition. On-device speaker identification. On-device text formatting. Your voice recordings never leave your computer. Ever.

Privacy by architecture

We can't access your data. By design.

Your voice recordings never leave your computer. Ever.

We don't have servers that store your data. We haven't built the infrastructure to collect it. We couldn't access your transcriptions even if we wanted to.

Your conversations are processed by AI models running entirely on your device.

No app accounts. No cloud transcription. No content uploads.

FAQ

Common questions

Remark's speech recognition, speaker identification, and text formatting all run locally on Apple Silicon. Your voice recordings, transcriptions, and meeting data never leave your device. Remark downloads speech recognition models on first use and checks for app updates via Sparkle — but your content never touches a server. After initial setup, recording and transcription work offline.

No. After the initial download and model setup, Remark works entirely offline. You can dictate and transcribe meetings on a plane, in a secure facility, or anywhere without an internet connection.

No. Remark is a tool, not a compliance programme or legal guarantee. Its on-device processing means your audio, transcripts, and meeting content are not sent to Remark for transcription, which can reduce one category of third-party exposure.

You remain responsible for your own compliance. Your organisation must assess consent, device security, access controls, retention, backups, and the requirements that apply to its work. Ask your legal or compliance team to review Remark for your use case.

Recordings and transcripts are stored locally in Remark's Application Support folder. You can export copies to a folder you choose, back them up, or delete them from Remark. Remark does not provide cloud sync.

Yes. Remark captures system audio, so it works with any meeting platform — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or any other app that plays audio through your computer's speakers. No browser extension or meeting bot required.

Crash reports are completely optional and off by default. If you choose to enable them, they contain only the error type, stack trace, your macOS version, and your Remark version. No audio, no transcripts, no meeting content. You can also report issues via email, where you see exactly what's being sent before you hit Send.

Your voice deserves to stay yours.
