Never reconstruct the context behind a conversation.
A transcript knows what was said. It doesn't know the ticket you had open while you said it. Switch ambient context on and Nod remembers both, as text, so you can ask what actually happened instead of piecing the story back together. The text is stored encrypted in your Nod account and deleted when it expires. The call gives Nod the conversation; your screen gives it the meaning. It ships off, and no update turns it on.

Screen context
The answer knows what you had open.
A transcript can only tell you what was said. Ask Nod why something happened and the answer draws on the conversation and on what you were looking at while you had it.
Why did we decide this?
It was settled on Tuesday's call, but the reasoning starts earlier: the version you had open that morning already had the date moved twice, and the call was reacting to it. Nobody said that part out loud.
From the conversation
- Weekly sync · Tuesday, 41 min
- Follow-up call · Friday, 18 min
From your screen
- The document open at 09:14
- The page you read before the call
Text only, read through the same macOS accessibility interface screen readers use. Screenshots are never saved. It feeds Ask Nod only, and it is off until you switch it on.
Captures
The window you're actually in
It reads the one window you're looking at. Your blocklist is checked before anything is read — not after.
Doesn’t touch
- Password managers and one-time-secret sites
- WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messages and other personal messengers
- Any app, category, or site on your blocklist
- Every other window, including the same app's
- Anything at all, while you're paused
For the work that happens between the calls.
You spent the day in a ticket, a doc, and a spreadsheet. None of it was said out loud, so none of it is in your notes. Ask anyway.
The standup answer
What you did yesterday is spread across a ticket, a pull request, and a doc you already closed. Ask once instead of reconstructing it.
A weekly review that writes itself
What actually took the week — including the two hours nobody scheduled and no one wrote down.
Cross the call with the source
You agreed one thing on the call and the spec says another. Nod can hold both, because it saw both.
The thing you read and can't find
You know you saw it. You don't know whether it was Linear, Notion, or an email. Describe it and get it back.
How ambient context works
You switch it on
It's off until you turn it on, in Settings → Privacy or from the ambient control at the bottom of Nod's sidebar — which always shows whether it's on, off, or paused, so you never go looking for the off switch.
Nod reads the focused window as text
About every five seconds, through the same macOS accessibility interface screen readers use. No saved screenshots, no video, no keystrokes, no clipboard, no password fields. A screen that hasn't changed stays a single entry, not one every five seconds.
You ask, later
What Nod read joins your meetings in Ask Nod. Every entry carries an expiry — 14 days by default, and you choose — and a scheduled job deletes it server-side whether or not you ever open Nod again.
No bot joins
Nod listens through your Mac. Nothing new shows up in anyone's call.
Audio is never stored
Transcribed, then discarded. Notes are encrypted; your data never trains a model.

Ambient context questions
Is this screen recording?
No. Nod keeps text, never a picture. No video is recorded and no image of your screen is ever saved. There is one honest exception: apps that tell macOS almost nothing about what they're showing — Slack, Figma, and other Electron or canvas-drawn apps — are converted from pixels to text on your Mac, at most once every 20 seconds. That image lives in memory for the moment recognition takes, is never written to disk, never uploaded, and is released immediately. Only the text is kept.
Does it read everything on my Mac?
No — only the window you're actually focused on, never an app's other windows. Personal messengers and password managers are excluded before you touch anything, and your own exclusions are checked before a window is read, so an excluded app is never traversed at all. You can exclude any app, whole categories of website, or specific sites in Settings → Privacy.
Does what I had on screen end up in a summary I share?
Never. Ambient context feeds Ask Nod — your own private chat — and nothing else. Meeting summaries and share links are built from the conversation's transcript alone, so nothing Nod read from your screen can travel to anyone you send a link to.
How long is it kept, and can I delete it?
Entries expire after 14 days by default, and you can set that yourself. You can also delete on the spot from the same sidebar control — the last 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hour, or everything Nod has ever read from your screen. Deletion is immediate, permanent, and doesn't touch your meetings or transcripts.
Can I switch it off for one call?
Pause it for 15 minutes, an hour, or the rest of the day. Nothing is read while it's paused, it resumes on its own when the time is up, and the pause survives quitting Nod. That way the call you wanted private doesn't cost you the feature for the rest of the week.
What does it need to work?
The macOS Accessibility permission, which you grant explicitly. Without it, the switch tells you what's missing instead of sitting there looking on while nothing happens. The pixels-to-text step for apps like Slack and Figma additionally needs macOS 14 and the Screen Recording permission you already granted so Nod can hear a meeting.
Useful on day one. Hard to work without by month three.
