About

Jotr is a local-first transcription app for Mac. Everything runs entirely on your device using Apple Silicon — no audio is ever uploaded, no account is required, and your recordings never leave your Mac. Drop in any audio or video file and get a raw transcript, a cleaned-up checked version, or a structured summary — all processed locally. Jotr supports MP3, MP4, MOV, M4A, WAV and more. Export to TXT, SRT, VTT, Markdown, or Word. Timestamp-linked playback lets you click any line to jump to that moment in the recording. Designed for meetings, lectures, interviews, podcasts, and video workflows. Free to use for transcription. One-time purchase unlocks local AI summaries and advanced exports. Requires macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon.

About

LensNote turns recorded lectures, meetings, and long videos into visual notes. Upload audio or video in the web app, or record a window on macOS. The app identifies distinct slides and key frames, matches them with timestamps and the relevant transcript, and writes a key message for each visual. Sessions include searchable transcripts, summaries, action items, and structured reports. Jump from a slide or transcript line to the original moment. Export slides as PPTX, reports as PDF or Word, and transcripts as TXT, or share a read-only link. No meeting bot is required. Available on the web and macOS 14 or later, with a 14-day trial and a Pro plan at $30 per month.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The free tier is incredibly generous—recordings under 20 minutes are free to transcribe with no limits on the number of files. For my YouTube workflow, this is a lifesaver. I just drop my final cut into Jotr, and it generates perfectly time-aligned SRT/VTT files for upload. No manual syncing or separate tools needed. Also, since my company has strict privacy policies against uploading data to the cloud, Jotr’s 100% local processing is exactly what I needed. It handles everything on-device without compromising security.

Cons

  • ​It can be quite resource-heavy since it runs AI models locally, though the transcription speed is surprisingly good. While it supports many export formats, I’d love to see direct integration with Notion or Obsidian in the future. The AI summary feature is a nice addition but still feels like it's in beta—it works, but the real star here is the manual review workspace.
