What it does
Transcripted is a free open-source Mac app that records meetings and dictation, transcribes on the device and saves plain Markdown files with timestamps and speaker names. It records the microphone and system audio, so both sides are heard and no bot joins the call. The speech models ship inside the app, so transcription works offline. Notes connect to an agent with the `Connect` button on the Agent page for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. It adds the `transcripted-mcp` server to the client configuration, and the server is read-only: it searches and opens notes but cannot change or delete them. Its capabilities include `recent_context`, `search_context`, `list_meetings`, `read_meeting`, `search`, `who_is`, `recap`, `list_action_items`, `list_decisions` and `digest`. A separate `transcripted-live` plugin brings the meeting in progress into Claude Code: Claude receives the call as context with each message, a line above the prompt shows meeting status, and a wrap-up arrives when the call ends. Install it with `/plugin marketplace add r3dbars/transcripted` and `/plugin install transcripted-live@transcripted`.
Who it is for. Mac users on Apple Silicon who record meetings and want to ask Claude Code or Codex about decisions, tasks and promises from past calls.
Good fit when
- After a call you need a recap, decisions and a task list from the transcript
- In the morning you want to recall what you promised in yesterday's meetings
- You search who said what on a topic across many recordings
- During a call you want a draft answer to a question aimed at you
- Notes should live as plain Markdown files, for example in an Obsidian vault
Not a fit when
- You have no Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 26 Tahoe or later: the app runs only there
- You want the agent to edit notes: the MCP server is read-only
- You want a bot that joins the call and records for you: the app records locally and uses no bot

Limitations
An Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) with macOS 26 Tahoe or later is required, with about 700 MB to download including speech models. Autocomplete is optional and downloads a 3.4 GB model; a Mac with 16 GB of memory or more can take a 5.6 GB model instead. Live lines the plugin passes to Claude go there like any other message. Recording conversations requires participants' consent under the rules of your country and company. The Writing feature saves what you type in chosen apps and is off until you turn it on. The `transcripted-live` plugin needs Transcripted 1.1.69 or later and Claude Code 2.1.287 or later.
How to disable. Disconnect from the Agent page in the app or remove the `transcripted` entry from the client configuration. The plugin is removed with `claude plugin uninstall transcripted-live`. Note files stay in your folder.
FAQ
How do I connect Transcripted to Claude Code?
In the app open the Agent page and click `Connect` next to Claude Code, then restart the client. Claude Desktop, Codex and Cursor have similar rows, and other agents get a ready-made prompt.
Can the agent change my notes?
No. The `transcripted-mcp` tools only search and read notes and cannot modify or delete them.
Do recordings go to a cloud?
Transcription and storage run on your Mac, and the speech models ship inside the app. Lines you show to an agent go wherever the agent runs.
What does the transcripted-live plugin do?
It passes the meeting in progress to Claude Code: context in every message, a status line with the meeting and a wrap-up after the call. It needs Transcripted 1.1.69 or later and Claude Code 2.1.287 or later.
Where are notes stored?
By default in `~/Library/Application Support/Transcripted/captures/`. The folder can be changed in settings, for example to an Obsidian vault, and the app moves the files.

README in short
The README explains what the app does: meeting recording, speaker identification, dictation, file transcription and an optional writing feature. It then shows the note format, a section on asking an AI, connecting through `Connect`, the live-meeting plugin, Mac requirements and installation through Homebrew or a download.
