What it is

DoodleNote captures meetings and creates searchable notes on macOS, Windows and the web. Its desktop capture records microphone and system audio from the user’s side of a call without a bot joining. Recording, transcription, storage, search and summarization can run on-device without an account, and meeting audio stays on the computer rather than being uploaded through Sync. Notes can use a downloaded local model or the user’s own OpenAI or Anthropic API key. Users can ask questions about one meeting or across meetings and receive answers with citations.

Microsoft 365 and Google Calendar can prompt users when meetings start. The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes unlimited meetings and recording, on-device transcription, calendar prompts, templates, folders and search. Sync costs $10 per user per month and adds two-way syncing, a web library, read-only share links, team workspaces and synced images. Windows downloads are identified as beta; macOS downloads support Apple Silicon. The project’s desktop, iPhone and sync server code is available under the MIT license.
