Total recall for everything you hear.
Tonal Recall keeps a private, rolling record of the last two hours on your Mac — every meeting, every conversation. Transcribe any moment, or just ask Claude or your AI agent what was said.
Your audio never leaves your Mac.
No cloud uploads. No virtual audio drivers like BlackHole or Soundflower. Recording, storage, and transcription all happen on-device with Apple Silicon and WhisperKit.
- ✓ 100% on-device transcription (WhisperKit / CoreML)
- ✓ Captures stay in the app's sandbox
- ✓ Zero network calls after the one-time model download
Never miss what you didn't know to record.
Tonal Recall captures your mic and meeting audio into a rolling 2-hour buffer — always on, or only during the hours you set on a weekly schedule. Realize 20 minutes in that you needed that conversation? Scrub back on the timeline and transcribe it — after the fact.
- ✓ 120 minutes of mic + system audio, always ready
- ✓ Always-on, or record only during your set weekly hours
- ✓ Click or drag the timeline to pick any window
- ✓ Quick-grab the last 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes
An intentional voice transcription, with a hotkey.
When you want to capture something on purpose — not scrub back for it — one shortcut starts a live, on-device transcript as you speak. Hit ⌘⇧L from any app to dictate context for Claude or your AI agent, leave yourself a note, or just think out loud. No lag, no cloud.
- ✓ ⌘⇧L from any app — nothing to open or switch to
- ✓ Real-time, on-device transcription as you speak
- ✓ Made for handing spoken context straight to your AI
Your meetings, inside your AI assistant.
Connect your assistant to your recordings with the free Tonal Recall CLI — one command for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Claude Desktop. Then just ask "what did we decide about pricing?" and it answers from what was actually said, no copy-paste.
- ✓ One command connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Claude Desktop
- ✓ "Summarize my last meeting" — it just works
- ✓ Search runs on your Mac; the assistant only sees what it asks for
Every word you've captured, searchable.
Every capture is saved with a full transcript and kept in a searchable history. Fuzzy-search across everything you've ever recorded and jump straight to the moment.
- ✓ Full-text fuzzy search across all captures
- ✓ Rename, open, or reveal any capture in Finder
- ✓ Plain-text + structured transcripts you keep forever
Schedule a recording before the meeting starts.
Know you'll want a transcript of next Tuesday's 2pm? Schedule the time range ahead of time — Tonal Recall records and transcribes it automatically, names it whatever you choose, and has it waiting when you're done. Schedule from the app, the CLI, or an AI agent over MCP.
- ✓ Pick a date and a time range — up to 2 hours
- ✓ Name it now; the finished transcript carries that name
- ✓ Runs on-device, no bots or meeting invites
- ✓ Add, list, and cancel from the CLI or via MCP
