# Nod

> Nod is an AI notepad for macOS that turns your meetings, calls, and voice notes into clean, searchable notes — without joining your meetings or storing audio. It listens locally through your Mac (no meeting bot), returns notes in 11 languages, and lets you ask questions across everything you've captured. Built by an individual developer, Dima Barabash. Free during private beta.
