Record meetings and transcribe privately on Apple devices
Dictantor captures meetings and voice notes across Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch. On Mac, it records microphone and system audio together and prompts you before meetings. Transcription runs on device in 25 European languages, separating your voice from everyone else. Search returns you to exact spoken moments. No Dictantor account or subscription. Supported recordings can sync through your private iCloud account.
I built Dictantor because I wanted a simple way to capture conversations and ideas without sending personal recordings to another company’s servers.
Dictantor started as an iPhone and Apple Watch voice notes app. Today, it’s also available on Mac, where it can record your microphone and system audio together, suggest recording before meetings, and turn conversations into searchable transcripts.
Everything is designed around a local-first approach:
• On-device transcription in 25 European languages • Your voice separated from everyone else • Transcript search linked to exact playback moments • No Dictantor account or subscription • Optional sync through your private iCloud account
The goal is simple: audio is the source, but useful, searchable text is the destination.
I’d love to hear how you currently capture meetings and voice notes, and what would make Dictantor more useful in your workflow. Thanks for checking it out!
