DoodleNote captures meetings and creates searchable notes for macOS, Windows, and the web. Its desktop app records microphone and system audio from the user's side of a call without a bot joining. Recording, transcription, storage, search, and summaries can run on the device without an account, and meeting audio stays on the computer rather than being uploaded as part of 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 provide meeting-start prompts. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free, billed forever, and includes unlimited meetings and recording, on-device transcription, calendar prompts, templates, folders, and search. Sync is 10.00 USD per month per user and adds two-way multi-device syncing, a web library, read-only share links, team workspaces, and synced images. The monorepo, including desktop, iPhone, and sync server code, is available under the MIT license. Windows downloads are marked beta; macOS downloads support Apple Silicon.
