CraftNote is a free AI note taker and meeting transcription app that turns meetings, lectures, and calls into organized notes automatically. It records bot-free — capturing your device's microphone and system audio directly, so no bot joins your Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams call — and generates AI meeting notes with structured summaries, key decisions, and an interactive action-item checklist.

Features: real-time AI transcription in 80+ languages with automatic language detection, speaker identification, AI meeting summaries, action item extraction, custom and auto-applied meeting note templates, full-text search across all transcripts and notes, and Ask AI to chat with any meeting transcript. Import audio, video, PDF, YouTube videos, and podcasts to transcribe and summarize them; generate flashcards and quizzes from lectures; export notes to PDF, Word (DOCX), or Markdown.

CraftNote works as a native Mac desktop app (Apple Silicon + Intel), iPhone, iPad and Android apps, and a web app — with offline recording that transcribes and syncs when you reconnect. An official ChatGPT app lets you search and ask questions about your meeting notes inside ChatGPT. Privacy-first: all data is stored on EU servers in Frankfurt, encrypted with AES-256 in transit and at rest, raw audio is automatically deleted after 60 days, and meeting data is never used to train AI models. Free plan included — no credit card required.
