PulsarTrace app window showing a live speaker-labeled transcript

— What it does

— 01

Record everything

One click captures your mic and system audio together. No virtual audio drivers, no setup.

— 02

Live transcript

A Markdown file starts growing seconds after you hit record. Watch it live, or let your agent read along.

— 03

Speakers remembered

Name a voice once and every transcript — past and future — updates. Your meeting history stays consistent.

— 04

Clean Markdown out

Every meeting ends as one tidy, speaker-labeled file. No lock-in; it works with any tool.

— Not another AI assistant

Bring Your Own Agent.

PulsarTrace isn’t a meeting notetaker and doesn’t want to be your AI assistant. It’s a transcription app that writes plain files — your agent does the rest. Point Claude Code, Cursor, or any tool you already use at your transcripts for summaries, action items, and answers. On your machine, on your terms.

$ tail -F ~/Meetings/live.md

**Maya:**  Let’s lock the launch date before we leave today.
**Tomás:** Ship on the twelfth, announce on the ninth.
**Maya:**  Agreed — I’ll update the plan after this call.

— Private by design

Nothing leaves this machine.

Audio never leaves your Mac — transcription happens on-device.
No telemetry, no analytics, no account.
