Your meeting ends. The note is already written.

No. Afterword records and transcribes on your Mac. The audio and the text stay on the machine, and the note is saved to a folder you choose. The app only goes online to activate your key, to check for updates and, for monthly or yearly plans, to confirm the subscription is still active. None of that includes your audio or notes.

Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Afterword starts recording when a call begins in any of them.

macOS 26 Tahoe or later, on a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer). Transcripts work on all of them. The summaries are written by Apple Intelligence, so turn it on in System Settings to get those too.

Yes. Turn on Tuned for atypical speech in Settings and Afterword uses Apple's on-device model built for stutters, lisps and other speech differences. It also tidies ums and repeats out of the note by default, so it reads the way you meant it, and you can add names and words it should know.

Set the language you speak and the language they speak, and Afterword translates them into yours as they talk, on your Mac. Both their words and the translation go in the note. After the call it can also tidy broken English and misheard words into clear sentences, and it keeps the word-for-word version too.

Afterword shows a visible recording indicator whenever it records, and a notice on first run. You are responsible for telling participants they are being recorded where the law requires it.

Founding prices, for now: the first 25 people get a lifetime license free. Or pay $39 once for a founding lifetime license, numbered, with every update included. Or become a founding member: 7 days free, then $4 a month or $29 a year, locked for life. Your card is only charged when the 7 days end, so cancel before then and you pay nothing. Any payment can be refunded within 14 days if Afterword doesn't work for you. Later, the price goes to $6 a month, $48 a year or $99 once.
