For Mac · Beta

Meeting transcription and voice dictation. 100% free.

Sloth transcribes your calls on your Mac and turns your voice into text in any app. No account, no subscription.

Why Sloth

  • No meeting bot

    Nothing joins your call. Sloth listens to your Mac’s microphone and call audio, so it works with Zoom, Meet, Teams or any call app.

  • Plain files you own

    Every meeting is saved as Markdown in ~/Documents/Sloth. Open it in any editor, AI tool or sync service.

  • Your own AI

    Write notes with your Claude API key, your Claude subscription via Claude Code, ChatGPT or Ollama. Or use Apple Intelligence on your Mac, free.

  • Private by default

    Transcription runs on your Mac. No account, no telemetry. Meeting content leaves only if you pick a hosted AI for notes.

Two jobs, one app

Meetings

Click Take notes when the reminder pops up. Type what matters as you go. When the call ends, the note opens with a summary and action items.

How meeting capture works
