Being productive — and actually remembering what was said in a conversation — matters to me. It matters even more right now, with AI everywhere and everything moving fast. So I decided to build a tool that helps. Not one that thinks for you. Not one that does the work for you. Just something that helps you structure what's already in your head and stay on top of things. I see real potential here, at the very least because I'll use it myself, and because the people around me clearly need this kind of tool.
What I value most is being able to switch Nod on for more than just work calls. I use it to dictate thoughts when I'm working through something on my own. I keep it running during sessions with my therapist. There's real value in that for me — and as long as that value is there, I'll keep building and shipping.
This is an incredible time to be alive. One person can build something that helps thousands of people. I'm glad I get to try.
Nod is an AI notepad for macOS. It captures your meetings, calls, and voice notes locally on your Mac, turns them into clean, searchable notes, and lets you ask questions across everything you've recorded. It never joins your calls as a bot — it listens through your Mac, so the people on the other end see nothing new.
It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, and anything else playing through your Mac, and returns notes in eleven languages. Audio is never stored — it's held in memory only long enough to transcribe, then released. Your transcripts and summaries live in the EU (Supabase, AWS eu-west-1), encrypted at rest, and no model is ever trained on your data. The full details are in the Security & Privacy policy.
Nod is built and operated by an individual developer, Dima Barabash, and is free during its private beta. Pricing will be published on the pricing page before anyone is ever billed.
Start with your next conversation. Free during beta. Mac only.
