Audio stays on your device. Optional Sync uploads the meeting content you choose, but not the recording audio. ## See DoodleNote in action ### Start private and local The Mac app introduces the local-first workflow before you record your first meeting. No bot joins the call, and cloud sync stays optional. <p align="center"> <img src="docs/images/screenshots/doodlenote-welcome.png" alt="DoodleNote welcome screen explaining local capture, summaries, and optional sync" width="900"> </p> ### Find every meeting and note The home screen keeps recent meetings, quick notes, folders, search, and upcoming calendar events in one place. <p align="center"> <img src="docs/images/screenshots/doodlenote-home.png" alt="DoodleNote home screen with recent meetings, notes, folders, and calendar connection" width="900"> </p> ### Review exactly what was said DoodleNote transcribes both sides locally, keeps speaker labels editable, and preserves timestamps for quick review. <p align="center"> <img src="docs/images/screenshots/doodlenote-transcript.png" alt="DoodleNote meeting transcript with named speakers and timestamps" width="900"> </p> ### Turn the conversation into useful notes Generate a polished summary with decisions, action items, owners, and the next meeting while keeping the original notes available. <p align="center"> <img src="docs/images/screenshots/doodlenote-enhanced-notes.png" alt="DoodleNote enhanced meeting notes with summary, decisions, and action items" width="900"> </p> ### Ask a follow-up question Ask about the open meeting and get an answer grounded only in its notes and transcript. <p align="center"> <img src="docs/images/screenshots/doodlenote-ask-anything.png" alt="DoodleNote answering a question using the current meeting" width="900"> </p> ## Why DoodleNote - **No bot in the call.** Capture works from your side with any meeting app. - **On-device transcription.** Apple Silicon uses the Swift/FluidAudio engine; Windows uses a packaged local speech engine. - **Local or bring-your-own AI.** Generate notes with a downloaded local model or your own provider key. - **Notes that stay useful.** Edit rich notes, organize meetings into folders, search history, and ask questions across prior meetings. - **Capture at the right moment.** Calendar and microphone-aware prompts help you start and stop recordings without stacking notifications. - **Optional cloud features.** Sync across devices, share selected meetings, and collaborate in workspaces when you opt in. - **Agent access under your control.** An opt-in, read-only MCP server lets compatible AI tools search local notes and transcripts. ## Get DoodleNote Download the current desktop installers from [doodlenote.ai](https://www.doodlenote.ai). Official macOS releases support Apple Silicon on macOS 14 or later and are signed and notarized. The Windows 10/11 build is currently beta. Its checked-in packaging configuration is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen warns before installation. The local app is free, requires no DoodleNote account, and does not impose meeting limits. Hosted Sync is optional and costs $10 per user per month. ## Project status | Surface | Status | Notes | | --------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | macOS desktop | Supported | Apple Silicon, macOS 14 or later; official releases distributed through [doodlenote.ai](https://www.doodlenote.ai) are signed and notarized. | | Windows desktop | Beta | Windows 10/11, 64-bit; packaging and native-module smoke checks run in CI. The current checked-in configuration is unsigned, so SmartScreen warns. | | iPhone | In development | Fresh iPhone/iPad app in apps/mobile-native; iOS 26 prototype, with physical-device and release gates open. | | Web workspace | In development | Next.js app for account linking, sync, sharing, workspaces, and hosted agent access. | Public release history is available in [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Onyx-Dev-Labs/doodle-note/releases) and the [DoodleNote changelog](https://www.doodlenote.ai/changelog). Maintainer release procedures are documented in [docs/RELEASING.md](docs/RELEASING.md). ## Repository map ```text .github/ CI, CodeQL, iOS, and release workflows and community configuration apps/ desktop/ Electron + React desktop application mobile-native/ Fresh SwiftUI iPhone/iPad implementation ios/ Historical iOS implementation; not used for fresh mobile work web/ Next.js cloud workspace and public site docs/ Brand, open-source, release, and screenshot documentation engine/ Swift audio capture and on-device ASR sidecar packages/ agent-contract/ Shared MCP tool schemas ai/ Local and cloud note-generation engines db/ Drizzle schema, migrations, Neon/PGlite clients doodle-note-mcp/ Opt-in read-only local MCP server meetings-store/ Shared meeting persistence contracts ``` ## Development ### Prerequisites - Node.js 22 or later - pnpm 10.33.2 (Corepack is recommended) - macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon and Xcode/Swift for the native transcription engine - XcodeGen and Xcode 26 for iOS work ### Start the workspace ```sh corepack enable pnpm install --frozen-lockfile # Desktop app (build the Mac engine first) pnpm engine:build pnpm --filter desktop dev # Web workspace on http://localhost:4040 pnpm --filter web dev ``` The web app works locally without cloud credentials by using PGlite and a development-only auth secret. Optional integrations are disabled until their environment variables are configured; see [apps/web/README.md](apps/web/README.md). For a durable production deployment of the Sync server, follow [SELF-HOSTING.md](SELF-HOSTING.md). Production installations require an explicit authentication secret and must either configure Stripe or declare themselves self-hosted. For fresh iPhone/iPad setup, see [apps/mobile-native/README.md](apps/mobile-native/README.md). For the engine protocol and commands, see [engine/README.md](engine/README.md). ## Verification Run the checks relevant to your change before opening a pull request: ```sh pnpm --filter desktop typecheck pnpm --filter desktop test pnpm --filter doodle-note-mcp test pnpm --filter @repo/ai test pnpm --filter @repo/db test pnpm --filter web typecheck pnpm --filter web test pnpm --filter web build pnpm lint pnpm audit --prod --audit-level=low pnpm engine:build ``` CI also builds the Windows installer and smoke-tests its packaged native speech and local-model modules. ## Privacy and responsible recording DoodleNote is designed so local capture, transcription, storage, and AI generation can run without sending meeting audio to DoodleNote servers. Cloud sync, shared links, hosted agent access, external AI providers, calendars, and connectors are opt-in features with their own data flows. Recording and consent laws vary by location and organization. You are responsible for obtaining any required permission before recording or transcribing a conversation. ## Contributing Issues and pull requests are welcome.

Official cloud Sync at [doodlenote.ai](https://www.doodlenote.ai) is an optional paid backup and multi-device service ($10 / user / month). See [docs/OPEN-SOURCE.md](docs/OPEN-SOURCE.md). Libraries, speech models, and optional local AI models retain their own licenses. See [THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md) before redistributing a build.
