Your past meetings.
Your next decision.

TOM records every meeting, transcribes it, summarises it, and answers questions across every past meeting — all on your Mac

Compounding value

The longer you use TOM, the smarter it gets.

Every meeting adds to a searchable memory on your Mac. The more TOM knows, the more it can connect — decisions, promises, patterns.

01Month 1

Transcripts, summaries and action items — searchable per call.

02Month 3

Cross-meeting Q&A. Ask once; TOM cites the calls that answered.

03Month 6

Your full meeting history. Search any promise, decision, or recurring topic across everything.

Features

Stored on your Mac. AI on your Mac.

No bots on your calls

No meeting assistant joins the call — nothing for participants to click “kick out.” TOM just records what's on your screen. Works for Zoom, Meet, Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, even an in-person chat on speakerphone.

Video + audio of every call

TOM saves the whole meeting — what was on screen, what was said by you, and what was said by the other side — as a normal video file on your Mac. Go back and re-watch the slide, the demo, or the moment they said the thing.

All AI runs on your Mac

Transcription, summaries, and search all run on-device on Apple Silicon. After the first launch, TOM works offline indefinitely. No cloud round-trip, no third-party AI provider in the loop.

Title, summary & action items

After every call, TOM writes a clean title, a TL;DR, decisions, discussion topics, action items, and open questions. Don't like the structure? Edit the prompts in Settings → Advanced.

Search across every past meeting

Ask a real question — “what did we agree with Acme on pricing?” — and TOM finds the answer across all your past calls, with citations and the exact moment to re-watch. ~50 ms across a thousand meetings, 100% recall, all local.

Speaks 100+ languages

Multilingual embeddings and a multilingual transcription model mean non-English meetings stay searchable, summarisable, and side-by-side with the rest of your library.

Karaoke playback

Re-watch any recording with synchronised subtitles that highlight word-by-word as the speaker says them. Find the moment by reading, not scrubbing.

Voice notes

Just hit record on yourself for the thinking-out-loud moments — walk, drive, whatever. Goes through the same transcript, summary, and search as your meetings.

Drop in old recordings

Got a meeting recording from somewhere else (Zoom export, voice memo, an old MP4)? Drop the file into TOM and it's treated like any other meeting — transcript, summary, searchable.

How it works

Four steps, one menu bar icon.

01

Click TOM in your menu bar

Pick the meeting window you want to record. Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack huddles, or even an in-person call on speakerphone — if it's on screen, TOM can capture it.

02

TOM records on your Mac

TOM captures the screen and the audio from both sides of the call — no bot joins the meeting. Just remember to tell the others you're recording.

03

Notes ready when the call ends

On-device AI turns the audio into a transcript and writes a clean summary, topics, and action items. No cloud round-trip — all inference runs locally on Apple Silicon.

04

Ask questions across every past meeting

Ask anything. TOM answers from your full history with the exact moments to re-watch — no more hunting through old recordings.

Privacy

Local-first, all the way down.

Your recordings stay on your Mac. The AI runs on your Mac too.

Three jobs need an AI: turning audio into text, writing the summary and action items, and answering questions across past meetings. TOM does all three on-device, on Apple Silicon — no third-party AI provider is involved. After the first-launch model download, TOM works offline indefinitely.

01
Recording — happens on your Mac.TOM saves the video and audio in a folder on your Mac. Nothing uploaded.
02
Transcript & summary — happen on your Mac.On-device transcription writes the words; a local LLM writes the title, summary, action items, decisions, and open questions. Both run on Apple Silicon. No audio or text leaves your machine.
03
Search across meetings — happens on your Mac.TOM embeds every meeting locally with a multilingual model and stores the vectors next to the transcripts. When you ask a question, the embedding, the matching, and the cited answer are all generated on-device.
04
We — never see your data.There is no server in the loop. No account, no telemetry, no analytics, no sync. The only network call TOM ever makes is the one-time AI model download on first launch.
No cloud AI provider, no server. No telemetry, no analytics, no account. Your recordings, transcripts, embeddings, and summaries never leave your Mac.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Do I need to bring an OpenAI key or sign up for anything?+
No. There is no account, no API key, no third-party AI provider in the loop. TOM does transcription, summaries, and cross-meeting search entirely on-device on Apple Silicon. The only network call TOM ever makes is the one-time AI model download from Hugging Face on first launch (about 4 GB). After that you can use TOM offline indefinitely.
Which AI models does TOM use, and where do they live?+
Can I edit how TOM writes summaries and titles?+
Does TOM identify speakers by name?+
Does TOM transcribe live during the meeting?+
Do I need consent to record meetings?+
Will other participants see TOM on the call?+
