It hears the whole call, and keeps what matters.

Every voice is transcribed on your Mac as the call happens. When it ends, you get the decisions and who owns what. No bot joins the call.

Transcribing on this Mac

Everything you say, locked on your Mac.

Transcripts and notes are encrypted the moment they're saved, with a key that never leaves the app. Nothing you say is sent anywhere.

Close to the best cloud services. Without the cloud.

This is what each system's average error rate looks like on a page: how many words in every hundred it gets wrong.

Quick update on the launch. Engineering finished the pricing fix on Tuesday, and the build passed review this morning. Sarah wants to ship on Friday, but only if support has the new help articles ready by Thursday afternoon. Tom will send the board deck tonight with the revised forecast for the third quarter. Emma is booking a call with Acme about annual billing, probably Tuesday at ten. The Android app stays paused until we hire a second mobile engineer. Last thing: please add your notes to the shared doc before Monday, so we can go through everything together next week.

The rates are each system's published average word error rate on the Open ASR Leaderboard, across seven English test sets, as of 19 September 2026. Mythral's figure is the published result for NVIDIA Parakeet, the model it runs on your Mac. The marked words show how many errors that rate means, not the actual mistakes each system made on this paragraph. How it was measured →

For organizations

The meeting notes your security team can approve.

There is no server to assess, because there is no server. IT deploys Mythral like any managed app and locks how it works.

Deploy with your MDM

One installer with the app and its models, pushed with Jamf, Kandji or your MDM. No Mac downloads anything.

Lock every setting

Offline mode, a consent check before recording, blocked apps, screen reading and retention, locked on every Mac.

Nothing to sign off

No servers, no accounts, no telemetry. Transcripts and audio encrypted on the Mac. Every connection the app can make is documented.

FAQ

Is it really free?

For personal use on your own Mac, yes, always. Macs are fast enough to do this themselves now, and with no server it costs nothing to run when you use it. Organizations pay for the controls their IT team needs: Teams from $20 per user per month. No ads, no account, and the app collects nothing.

Does it work with Outlook calendars?

Mythral reads meetings from the macOS Calendar app. Add your Microsoft 365, Exchange or Google account in System Settings › Internet Accounts, and meetings arrive with their titles and attendees.

Does it work with Zoom, Meet and Teams?

Yes, and any other call app. It listens to your Mac's audio, so no bot joins the call.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Apple silicon Mac, M1 or later, on macOS 14.4 or newer. Intel Macs aren't supported.

What languages does it understand?

English on a model tuned for it, plus 98 other languages, detected as you speak.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Transcripts and notes are encrypted on your Mac. Delete anything, or everything, from Settings.

How big is it?

The app is about 24 MB. The speech and notes models download once, about 3.7 GB, and then it works offline.

Your conversations stay yours.
