Notes without the busywork
Good notes are the difference between a meeting that compounds and one that evaporates. An AI note taker should capture the conversation, then turn it into something you'd actually re-read: a tight summary, the decisions, and who owns what next. Cloak does this automatically from a live transcript of your call.
How it captures
Cloak taps system audio — both sides of the conversation — and keeps a rolling transcript as the call happens. When it ends, it generates structured notes: a 3–6 sentence summary, participants, topics, key decisions, action items with owners and deadlines, and open questions.
On your machine, not in the cloud
Unlike cloud note-takers that join as a bot and store recordings on their servers, Cloak is local-first. The audio and transcript stay on your Mac; only the text sent for summarization reaches the AI provider you chose. No participant bot, no Cloak-side recording, no surprise data retention.
More than a transcript
- Structured summary with decisions and action items, not a wall of text.
- Notes saved into your local knowledge workspace, searchable later.
- Optional live answers during the call — it's a copilot, not just a recorder.
- Your keys, your model; BYOK free forever.
