If you're writing it down in a note, it's probably important. The thing is, getting the important stuff is often too hard. Your notes should already know about your meetings and events. And, if you're taking notes in a meeting, you're probably leaving with action steps. Meetings shouldn’t end in scattered notes and forgotten follow-ups. Contextly turns what you capture into what you do—right on your Mac. Contextly connects your notes to your calendar so every thought lives in context. Record a meeting (or drop in an audio file), and Contextly transcribes it on device, summarizes the conversation, and generates clear action steps you can actually use. Then, send those action steps to your preferred task manager as to-dos with the click of a button. Connect Things 3, Reminders, Omnifocus, or Todoist, and turn your meeting notes into action without juggling multiple apps. Instead of revisiting notes later, you leave every meeting with decisions, tasks, and momentum. What you can do with Contextly: Capture notes in context Link notes to calendar events automatically so you always know when, where, and why something was written. Record and transcribe meetings Use built-in recording or import audio. Transcription runs on your Mac for speed and privacy. Summarize instantly Get clean, readable summaries that highlight what matters—no manual cleanup required. Turn conversations into action Contextly generates actionable next steps from your notes. Review, edit, and send them where you work. Sync with your task manager Send tasks to Things, OmniFocus, Todoist, or Apple Reminders. Built for Apple Intelligence Powered by on-device Apple Intelligence for fast, private summaries and insights. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
