Nod for engineers
The reason you built it that way was said out loud, once.
The architecture decision record is empty, but the decision happened — in a design review, on a call, in the twenty minutes after standup. Nod captures those conversations from your Mac's own audio, without a bot joining, and keeps the reasoning next to the code you wrote because of it. So six months later, "why is it like this?" has an answer.
14-day free trial, no card. macOS only.
I’m already looking for relevant context.
- Why the team chose this approach, and what it ruled out
- The constraint someone mentioned that nobody wrote down
- What you agreed to own at standup, still there on Thursday
- The incident call, as a timeline you can hand over
For engineers
“Why did we rule out the queue?”
It was argued properly in a design review and recorded nowhere. Get the reasoning back before you re-litigate it.
For tech leads
“What did the team commit to this sprint?”
Standup produces a dozen small commitments a week. Ask for the ones that never came back.
For support and on-call engineers
“What did we tell the customer during the incident?”
The post-mortem needs the timeline as it was said, not as everyone remembers it the next morning.
Ask it the way you'd say it.
- Why did we rule out the queue?
- What did the team commit to this sprint?
- What did we tell the customer during the incident?
- Why did we rule out the queue?
A day with Nod
Four moments where the notes would otherwise be on you.
- 09:45Standup
What you signed up for, kept.
- The thing you offered to pick up, captured
- Blockers named out loud, in one list
- No bot in a fifteen-minute call
- 11:30Design review
The decision and the alternatives it beat.
- What was chosen, and what was explicitly rejected
- The constraint that decided it
- Ambient context ties it to the doc on your screen
- 15:10Incident call
A timeline you did not have to type.
- Who saw what, and when they said it
- The mitigation, in the order it was tried
- Written up while the post-mortem is still owed
- 17:40Ask Nod
Ask the last six months of design calls.
- “Why did we drop the queue?”
- “What did we say about the migration owner?”
- Answers with the session each came from
Ask Nod
The architecture decision record you never wrote
Decisions get made in conversation and documented approximately never. Nod does not fix your documentation culture, but it does mean the reasoning still exists: ask why a choice was made and get the answer with the design review it came from, so you can read what was actually said rather than trusting a summary.
Action items
Standup commitments that survive standup
The daily fifteen minutes generates real commitments — someone will look at the flaky test, someone will unblock the migration — and almost none of them reach a ticket. Nod pulls out the ones with your name on them so the small things stop quietly falling over.
Screen context
It knows what you were looking at
Switch ambient context on and Nod reads the window you are working in as text, on your Mac. So a question about the ticket you had open during the call has an answer, and the conversation is attached to the thing it was about rather than floating free.
Nothing joins your call, nothing reads your repo
Nod listens to conversations, not to your codebase. It has no access to your repository, your CI, or your ticket tracker, and nothing appears in a call your team can see. 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.
- No bot in standup — nothing in the participant list
- No repository, CI or ticket access of any kind
- No audio stored, at Nod or at the transcription service
- Ambient screen context is off until you switch it on
The argument you already won, still won.
The expensive part of an engineering decision is not making it. It is making it a second time, eight months later, because the reasoning lived in one call and one person's memory.
Frequently asked questions
Does Nod read my code or my tickets?
No. Nod has no integration with a repository, a CI system or a ticket tracker. It captures conversations from your Mac's audio, and — only if you switch ambient context on — reads the text of the window you are working in, on your Mac. See the security page.
Is a bot going to show up in our standup?
No. Nod captures your Mac's system audio rather than joining the meeting, so nothing appears in the participant list and no banner fires. 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.
Does it work for a call that isn't a meeting?
Yes. Because capture happens at the operating-system level, a Slack huddle, a Discord call, a pairing session or a phone on speaker all work the same as Zoom. It is macOS only.
Can I ask across only one project's calls?
Yes — put those sessions in a folder and scope Ask Nod to it, so a platform question is not answered from a hiring call. That is a Pro feature; see pricing.
