Jotted

Jotted is a Windows desktop app that records your online meetings without joining them. Most meeting notetakers work by sending a bot into your call. It appears in the participant list with a name like "Notetaker", everyone sees it, and the conversation changes shape. Clients ask what it is. Some IT departments block it outright. And the recording lives on someone else's servers, so if you stop paying, it goes with them. Jotted takes a different approach. It records from your desktop, the same way a screen recorder does. Nothing joins the call, nothing announces itself, and the meeting looks exactly as it always does to everyone else. The second thing that sets it apart is the video. Most bot-free tools transcribe your call and then delete the recording, which leaves you holding a summary with no way to check it. When your memory and the summary disagree, there is nothing to go back to. Jotted keeps the full meeting in HD, so you can find the moment and play it. After every call you get four things: the video saved as a file you own, a word-for-word transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, a summary you can paste into an email, and a list of action items with owners and deadlines. You can share any recording with a link that works without an account. Because Jotted records your desktop rather than integrating with a specific platform, it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, Discord, and anything else that happens on your screen. There is no compatibility list and nothing to connect. The free plan is free forever. Unlimited recordings, no time caps, no watermarks, and every word transcribed on your own computer using Whisper. Nothing is uploaded. Pro is $14 a month and adds AI summaries, action items, encrypted cloud backup, sharing, and Quill, an assistant that reads across all your recordings and answers questions with a timestamp you can click. Recording laws differ by country and state. Jotted reminds you before each recording starts, and getting consent where the law requires it is your responsibility. Jotted is available for Windows. macOS is in development.
