Start your meeting prepared
Coming soonBoswell preps a Brief before each meeting — who's attending, what you discussed last time, and what matters now.
The AI notepad that helps you stay focused.
Notes without a meeting bot.
v1.7.1 · macOS Silicon
Your notes,
with super-powers.
-
No bot joins your call — Boswell records your Mac's own audio.
-
Recorded and transcribed on your Mac — notes sync through your own iCloud, never our servers.
-
Works with Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams — and every other meeting app.
Features
Boswell's with you before, during, and after every meeting.
Boswell has your back: it records, transcribes, and files every meeting on your Mac, so you can stay in the conversation.
Give the conversation your full attention
Let Boswell do the listening. It captures your mic and your Mac's system audio separately, transcribes on-device, and keeps your side and theirs distinct — the audio doesn't leave your machine unless you say so.
The write-up's done when the meeting is
The moment your meeting ends, your notes, action items, and follow-ups are ready — so you can keep things moving.
Boswell vs. the bot
A note-taking bot, without the note-taking bot.
We're not going to name names. You know the ones: the apps that join your call as a fifth attendee, screenshot your slides, and send you a "happy summary".
The bot in your meeting
Cloud assistants
Joins your call as a guest. Everyone sees it.
Audio uploads to vendor servers. Retention varies.
Per-seat subscription. Cancel and the archive leaves with them.
Notes live in a vendor's web app.
Works for video calls. Not the hallway.
You hope it's still around in 2030.
Boswell
A native Mac app
Captures from your Mac. The call doesn't see it.
Audio stays on disk. Network can be disabled.
One subscription. Cancel anytime — your notes stay.
Notes are plain Markdown.
Works for any audio: calls, dictations, podcasts.
Enterprise
Boswell for teams and organizations.
The same local-first app, set up for a group: one bill instead of many receipts, deployment that fits how your Mac fleet is already managed, and a person to email when you need one. Tell us your team size and what you need, and we'll put together a plan that fits — there's no public list price, just a real conversation.
Volume licensing.
License Boswell Pro across a team or a whole organization under one agreement, instead of buying seat by seat.
Centralized billing.
One invoice for the team, with purchase-order terms where your finance process needs them — not a pile of individual card receipts.
Managed deployment.
Boswell is a standard macOS app, so it installs through the MDM and device-management tooling you already use to roll software out to your Macs.
Priority support.
A direct line to email support for your team's setup, rollout, and day-to-day questions.
Private by design, for the whole org.
Recording and transcription run on each Mac, and transcripts are plain Markdown your people keep — the same local-first, privacy-first posture, applied across the team.
FAQ
Things to note
No. Boswell captures audio directly from your Mac: your microphone and whatever is playing through your speakers. Other attendees see nothing new.
By default, no. Transcription runs on your Mac with Apple's on-device speech recognition, and on-device AI drafts your notes without anything leaving the machine. When you want a stronger model, Boswell-funded cloud AI is built in — no API key to set up — or you can bring your own key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama) instead. Cloud AI is always something you choose to invoke; when you use your own key, that traffic goes directly from your Mac to the provider.
We never use your data to train models, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you ask for it. The exception worth knowing: when you invoke cloud AI, your request goes to the model provider that serves it, and by default that pool includes providers that may train on what you send. Turn off Allow providers to train on my data in Settings → AI Services to exclude them. See our Trust & Security page for the full picture.
Yes. Boswell includes system-wide dictation: press a hotkey and speak into any app, and your words are transcribed on your Mac, not in the cloud. The free plan includes 4,000 words a week; Pro removes the limit.
Almost. The iOS app is in the final stretch before the App Store. It does everything the Mac app does except dictation, and your notes stay in sync between your iPhone and your Macs through your own iCloud, never a server we run.
macOS 26.4 Tahoe and later, Apple Silicon only. Even an M1 MacBook Air handles 60-minute meetings in real-time with the Medium model.
Yes, with caveats. Boswell needs Microphone and System Recording permissions; some MDM profiles block one or both.
