Notepad · part of Nod

A notepad you talk to.

Notepad captures your voice and nothing else. Not the call you just left, not what's on your screen. Talk a thought through on a walk or between meetings, and get it back as clean, searchable notes.

Captures

Your microphone

Just you. Nothing else in the room ends up in the note.

  • System audio
  • Other people on a call
  • Anything on your screen

For the thoughts you'd otherwise lose.

The idea that lands right after a call and slips away before you write it down. Say it out loud instead.

  • Walk-and-talk ideas

    Think out loud on the move. Nod keeps up so you don't have to stop and type.

  • Between back-to-backs

    Brain-dump what just happened before the next call pushes it out of your head.

  • Dictate follow-ups

    Say the thing you promised to handle. It comes back as a clear, checkable note.

  • Reflect out loud

    Reason through a problem or a decision by talking it out instead of writing.

How Notepad works

  1. 1

    Hit record and talk

    Open Nod, start Notepad, and say what's on your mind. There's no setup and no one else on the line.

  2. 2

    Nod cleans it up

    Your voice comes back as structured text, not a raw transcript. You get tidy notes you can actually use.

  3. 3

    Ask it later

    Every note joins one private, searchable memory. Ask Nod across all of them, in your language.

  • No bot joins

    Nod listens through your Mac. Nothing new shows up in anyone's call.

  • Audio is never stored

    Transcribed in the EU, then discarded. Notes are encrypted; your data never trains a model.

  • Works on day one

    A Mac and any Google account is all it takes. 14-day free trial, no card.

Notepad questions

  • Does it record the meeting I'm in?

    No. Notepad captures only your microphone. When you want both sides of a conversation, use Meeting Notes instead.

  • Where does my audio go?

    Audio is never stored. Capture runs on your Mac; transcription happens in the EU and the audio is discarded right after. Your notes live encrypted in the EU, and your data never trains a model.

  • What do I need to start?

    A Mac and any Google account. It works on your first note, with a 14-day free trial and no card. See pricing for what comes after.

  • Which languages does it handle?

    14, including Serbian. Your notes come back in the language you spoke, and you can ask Nod about them the same way.
