About PolarParrot
PolarParrot is a Mac app that records meetings from your computer without adding a bot to the call, then creates notes with a summary, decisions, actions and open questions. When you press record, it captures your microphone and your Mac's audio on separate tracks; using headphones helps distinguish your voice from other participants. It can identify an action's owner when one is named. The recording is uploaded for processing and deleted after the notes are ready unless you change the retention setting. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code through a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector to search your notes. The app supports Teams, Google Meet, Zoom and WhatsApp; on FaceTime it records only your voice, not the other participants. PolarParrot is for Mac users who want structured meeting follow-up without a participant bot.

ParrotNotes
ParrotNotes is an AI note-taker for the conversations no meeting bot can join. Instead of dialling into a video call, it records what is said in the room: a client meeting, a site visit, a workshop, the conversation in the corridor after the real meeting ended. Recordings are transcribed and translated across 99+ languages, including calls that switch languages mid-sentence, with speaker detection. ParrotNotes writes the summary, pulls out action items and generates 13 types of insight. Sales teams can score discovery calls against MEDDIC, SPIN or BANT, or build custom summary templates. Ask any transcript a question in plain language instead of scrubbing back through audio. Every note is full-text searchable, auto-labelled, shareable by link and exportable to TXT, Markdown, DOCX or PDF. Audio can auto-delete, and your data is never used for AI training. A hosted MCP server connects ParrotNotes to Claude and ChatGPT. Available on iPhone, Android and Mac. Free to start.

Speakwise
Speakwise is an AI voice recorder, voice-to-text transcription app, and note taker for iPhone built for in-person meetings and conversations. With one tap, users can record a meeting directly through the iPhone microphone without a laptop, Zoom, Teams, calendar invite, or bot joining the call. Speakwise converts the recording into a searchable transcript, automatically labels speakers with diarization, and generates a clean AI summary with key points, decisions, and action items. It supports more than 100 languages with automatic detection and dialect recognition, including regional speech that other note takers may struggle with. Recording works offline, so conversations can be captured on planes, job sites, secure rooms, and other places without Wi-Fi, then synced and processed when a connection returns. AirPods controls let users start, pause, and stop recording hands-free, while the iPhone Action Button can launch recording instantly on supported devices.
