SageMeet – AI Meeting Notes & Transcription SageMeet turns every meeting into searchable, actionable notes — automatically. Record using your device microphone or capture system audio directly. When you stop, SageMeet transcribes the recording and generates structured notes including key takeaways, action items, and decisions — powered by OpenAI Whisper and GPT-4o via your own API key. How It Works Create a meeting and tap Record SageMeet transcribes and generates notes automatically when you stop Review your summary, search across past meetings, and explore speaker analytics Features Record microphone or system audio via Broadcast Extension Live transcription with real-time word display AI-generated summaries, action items, and key decisions Speaker diarization with an analytics dashboard Semantic search across all meetings using AI embeddings Organize meetings into folders iCloud sync across all your Apple devices Spotlight and Siri Shortcuts integration Privacy Mode: fully offline recording with all AI features disabled — no data leaves your device GDPR-compliant with transparent data handling Available on iPhone and Mac Your Key, Your Data SageMeet requires your own OpenAI API key. Audio is sent directly to OpenAI for transcription and note generation — not to our servers. You control your data and pay only for what you use, directly through OpenAI. Before AI features are used, you will be asked to consent to data being processed by OpenAI as a third-party service. No Subscriptions. No Ads. No Paywalls. Every feature is included and free to use. The only cost is your OpenAI API usage. Privacy First Enable Privacy Mode to use SageMeet as a fully offline voice recorder. In this mode, no audio or data ever leaves your device. AI features are disabled entirely. When AI is active, audio is transmitted directly to OpenAI under their privacy policy — SageMeet does not store or access your recordings on its own servers.

Meetings, videos, documents — translated as you listen, processed only on your device; the sentences you actually read come back as review cards. LIVE SUBTITLES (APP) Bilingual subtitles for whatever your device is playing. On Mac, the app listens to system audio and shows a floating subtitle bar that stays on top of any app, even full-screen video (macOS 26 or later). On iPhone, play a video or podcast out loud in any app, and a picture-in-picture window scrolls the original and the translation, sentence by sentence. Recognition happens on the device; Live Subtitles need iOS 26 / macOS 26. CONVERSATION · LIVE INTERPRETER (APP) Talk across a language gap. Both sides speak freely; each sentence is transcribed, translated and can be read aloud. Speech is recognised on the device, so the audio never leaves it. Requires iOS 26 / macOS 26. SYSTEM TRANSLATION (IPHONE) Select text in any app and tap Translate — BelliedMonkey answers with the engine you configured, in a small sheet, without leaving the app. Choose BelliedMonkey once in Settings › Apps › Translate › Default Translate App. Sentences you translate this way can go straight into your review deck. Requires iOS 18.4 or later. WEB PAGES, SIDE BY SIDE The Safari extension (also on Chrome and Firefox) keeps every paragraph's original text with the translation right below it. No switching tabs, no losing your place. VIDEO DUAL SUBTITLES YouTube, podcasts and web video get sentence-matched dual subtitles. No captions? Turn on AI transcript subtitles. DOCUMENT TRANSLATION Open a PDF, Word file or image and read it page by page, original and translation side by side. LEARN AS YOU READ Sentences you actually read can become review cards on a forgetting curve — read, listen and write practice, sentence notes and read-aloud. Optional sync lets your phone review what you read on your computer. YOUR ENGINE, YOUR CHOICE Bring your own AI service key, or any compatible endpoint. PRIVACY, SPELLED OUT Your keys and settings stay on your device. With your own key, text goes straight to the provider you chose and is not stored. Live Subtitles and on-device transcription never record audio. We send anonymous usage events (which features are used, never page content), and you can turn them off in Settings. No ads. The whole app is open source and free to download.
