Summary

Undertone captures dictation and ambient audio memory on your Mac and turns it into searchable, organized notes and meeting records, all on-device.

Problem

Voice is the fastest input and the worst to retrieve later. Existing tools trade privacy for convenience and scatter the output across apps.

Approach

A native macOS app that runs capture, transcription, and organization locally. Smart meeting detection, a clean home for every session, and an import path for existing archives. The audio never leaves the machine.
