Nod

Nod listens through your Mac's audio rather than joining as a participant. Nobody sees a new guest pop into the meeting, and no banner fires. That means it works with any call app on your machine. It also means it's a Mac-only tool. There is no Windows version, no web app, and no released iPhone app.

Voice becomes text in about five seconds, and the audio is thrown away the moment it does. Nod never writes a recording to disk, so there's no file to leak or export. Each chunk is released once its transcript returns, and whatever is held for speaker matching is dropped when the session ends. If you need the raw audio later, you can't get it because it never existed.

Every call, note, and decision joins one searchable memory, and answers come back with the session they came from, so you can check the source before you act. Notes from months ago stay searchable and still respond to today's questions. The more you capture, the more the memory can answer, which rewards building the habit early.

Agents are saved questions that run on a schedule and report back, like a morning briefing before your first call. Set one up to list what you owe people or which threads are still hanging, and Nod delivers it without you opening anything. No meetings today? It still has something for you. It's the part that keeps the tool useful even on quiet days.

Nod works as a meeting summary tool too, not just a recorder. It turns what was said into the follow-up, the action plan, the recap, or a task in Jira, Linear, or Notion, with a link back to the conversation it came from. Why does this matter? Traceability. When someone asks why a task exists, you get the quote, the context, and the decision in one step instead of hunting through notes.

Notes sit in an encrypted, access-controlled database built to GDPR standards, encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256. Row-Level Security means the app can only hand you your own notes, and there's no admin view that can reach what you kept. Neither Nod nor the providers it sends text through train any models on your transcripts.

Nod handles 35 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. Notes come back in whatever language the meeting was in, so a mixed-language week doesn't create a translation chore. You don't pick the language ahead of time. It follows the conversation.
