Whether you're conducting a physical or remote meeting, Wudpecker's new MacOS app has you covered. It records audio directly from your system and microphone, ensuring comprehensive coverage of your meetings without any hassle.
Here’s why this app stands out:
It doesn't matter if your meeting is in person or virtual.
You can record an unlimited amount of meetings per month
No more AI bots interrupting your meetings
It lets you pause or discard the recording whenever you need
It works with all virtual meeting platforms
With the app, there's no need to worry about intrusive notetaker bots that accidentally join your confidential meetings. The app will only start recording when you tell it to.
You also don't have to worry if you're attending the meeting on a different account than what you're using on Wudpecker. As long as you're logged in on the Wudpecker desktop app, it records anything you want and generates the notes on your Wudpecker account in the browser.

Good to know
How the meeting will be titled
The Mac app is able to detect your upcoming meeting's title from the calendar invite. If you see the title under the recording buttons and start recording, your notes will automatically be named according to the title.
On the other hand, if you start recording without seeing a meeting title in the app, the notes will be called "Live Meeting".
However, you can always manually edit any meeting notes' titles later on.
