<h3>Private, local-first recording and transcription</h3><p><strong>Dictantor is a free, local-first app for recording and transcribing meetings, conversations, and voice notes on Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch.</strong></p><p>It was built around a simple idea: your conversations shouldn't have to leave your devices just to become searchable text. Dictantor transcribes recordings locally, works offline, and requires no account or subscription.</p><h3>On Mac</h3><p>Record online meetings directly from your Mac without inviting a meeting bot. Dictantor captures microphone and system audio separately, so you can keep track of both sides of the conversation and get a searchable transcript afterwards.</p><h3>On iPhone and Apple Watch</h3><p>Record in-person meetings, conversations, or quick voice notes from your iPhone. You can also start recordings from Apple Watch when you don't want to keep your phone on the table.</p><h3>Search, playback, and insights</h3><p>Search across your transcripts to find something that was said weeks or months ago, then jump back to the corresponding moment in the recording. Audio and transcript playback stay synchronized.</p><p>On supported devices, Apple Intelligence can turn recordings into useful insights such as summaries, key takeaways, and action items — processed on-device.</p><p>Your Dictantor library can sync between iPhone and Mac through your private iCloud account, so recordings and transcripts are available across your Apple devices.</p><p><strong>No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. Local transcription. Free to use.</strong></p>
