Nod for coaches
Coaching is one of the few jobs where taking notes actively damages the work — the moment you look down, the person in front of you notices. Nod captures the session from your Mac's own audio, with nothing joining the call, and keeps what was explored and committed to, so the next session opens where the last one ended instead of with "remind me where we got to".

I’m already looking for relevant context.
For executive coaches
“What has this client committed to, and what came back?”
The pattern between what someone says they will do and what they do is the work. Keep both halves.
For career coaches
“What did we agree the next step was?”
Open the session already holding the last one, instead of spending ten minutes rebuilding it together.
For team and leadership coaches
“What keeps coming up across this team's sessions?”
Ask across the whole engagement and find the theme nobody has named out loud yet.
A day with Nod
Engagement memory
Any single session is legible from your notes. The pattern across twelve of them — the commitment that keeps being made and not kept, the subject that gets approached and dropped — is the thing you are actually being paid to notice, and it is exactly what does not survive in a folder of separate documents.
Commitments
Nod pulls the commitments out of the session as they were stated, with the words used. Next time you open with what was agreed rather than what either of you now remembers being agreed, which is a materially different conversation.
Ask Nod
Ask where you left off and get an answer drawn from that client's sessions only, with the ones it came from. Enough to walk in genuinely prepared for a client you last saw a month ago, without rereading three write-ups first.
A coaching conversation is told to you in confidence and often under a written agreement about where it may go. Nod keeps it in your account only, trains nothing on it, and stores no audio at all. Nod captures the audio your Mac is already playing, through native macOS APIs, so nothing dials into the call and nothing shows up in the participant list. Each segment goes through a European proxy to a hosted transcription service under Zero Data Retention, and is discarded the second the text comes back. No audio is stored at either end. Only the transcript and the summary are kept, encrypted at rest in the EU, and nothing is used to train a model. The full detail is on the security page.
Every coach solves this badly: take notes and be half-present, or be present and lose the detail. It is a false choice, and it is the only reason session write-ups eat your evenings.
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Nod is built for coaching conversations. It is not a clinical record system, we do not sign Business Associate Agreements, and we make no HIPAA claim of any kind — so it should not be used for protected health information or clinical notes. If your work is regulated care, use a system built and certified for it.
Only because you tell them, which you should. Nothing joins the call and no banner appears on their side, so consent is a conversation you have rather than something the software announces. No bot doesn't mean no consent. Recording law varies by country and by state, and some of it asks everyone on the call to agree — so tell people you're taking notes. See recording consent laws.
Yes. Put each client's sessions in their own folder and scope Ask Nod to it, so one client's question is never answered from another's sessions. That is a Pro feature — see pricing.
Yes. Nod can capture your Mac's microphone as well as its system audio, so a session in the room works the same as one over video. It is macOS only.
One Mac app. Sign in with any Google account.
Run the session as you always do. Nothing joins it.
Open the next session already holding the last one.
