Talk.
It's typed.
On-device dictation, meetings, and quick voice notes. Your voice never leaves your Mac.
Hold a key and talk.
Hold Fn and it listens. Tap space and it locks on, hands free. Let go and your words are already sitting at the cursor. The ums and the false starts don't make the trip.
No window to babysit. It sits in the menu bar, the live caption rides in the notch while you talk, and ⌃⌘V drops your last line in again anywhere you need it.
Records you and them on separate tracks.
Your mic on one channel, whatever's coming out of your speakers on the other. They never blur together, so the transcript knows who said what. End the call and a Claude run on your own machine writes the summary and lifts out the to-dos.
A key for the thoughts going nowhere in particular.
Different hotkey, same idea. Hit ⌥⌃, say the thing before it's gone, and it's saved and transcribed for whenever you come looking.
Idea for later: turn this week's memos into a single to-do list.
Your voice never leaves the laptop.
The model that turns speech into text runs on the machine in front of you. Your recordings and transcripts sit in a folder on your disk, and there's no account to sign into.
The one thing that can leave is optional: the meeting summaries. Switch them on and the transcript is sent to Claude to write the summary and the action items, through the Claude Code you already pay for, on your own Max-plan subscription. No API keys, and no cost beyond your normal usage. Leave it off and nothing ever leaves the Mac.
The rest of it.
Claude Code can read all of it.
A small CLI and an MCP server hand Claude ten tools over everything you've captured, plus five skills you run by name. Ask what you said this week, or for every open action item, without opening the app.
Transcribe a file
Already have a recording? Drop it in and get the same local transcript back.
A markdown vault
Every note, memo, and meeting is also written to your disk as plain markdown.
Notion, one way
Push a meeting to Notion (notes, summary, to-dos, transcript). Invocal stays the source of truth.
Up in the notch
The recording dot and the live caption sit in the MacBook notch, out of your way.
Stats you'll open
Words spoken, time recorded, day streaks, and a year of activity in one grid.
Nothing's really gone
Delete a meeting and it waits 30 days in a trash you can pull it back from.
Built with Claude Code. The same tool that writes the summaries once it's running.
