“Okay so the key takeaway from today’s meeting — Sarah wants the design review by Thursday, and we should loop in engineering before anything goes to the client…”
Audio never leaves your device. Whisper runs entirely in your browser — offline, free, and yours. No cloud, no tracking, no leaks.
Hatched Memo is a PWA. Add to Home Screen on iPhone, Android, or desktop. Works offline. No App Store review, no Play Store waiting. Updates instantly.
One click copies a clean, structured transcript with speaker labels. Export Markdown, or connect Cursor, Windsurf and Claude over MCP — your voice becomes IDE context.
Bring your own Neon database. Your transcripts live in YOUR infrastructure — we can't read them, access them, or lose them. GDPR-compliant by architecture, not by policy.

Pricing
Everything you need to start.
Yours forever. No subscription.
On your device, in your browser's local storage. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose OpenAI transcription with your own API key — and even then, only the audio you transcribe leaves the device.
Yes. Once loaded, Hatched Memo is a full offline app. Browser Whisper models download once and are cached — after that you can record and transcribe with no internet at all.
Yes. Choose Meeting mode, press record, and share the call tab when prompted. Hatched Memo captures both sides of the conversation.
The Model Context Protocol lets AI coding tools like Cursor, Windsurf and Claude Desktop read your transcripts directly. Your voice notes become searchable context for your IDE — no copy-pasting.
Free forever for 5-minute recordings with local transcription. Hatched Memo Pro is $29 one-time — unlimited recording length, 1 GB cloud storage, cross-device sync, BYODB, and cloud MCP. Need more storage? Buy it at $5/GB, also one-time. No subscription, no recurring billing. Yours forever.
Your transcripts, your database. When you get Pro, you connect your own Neon database — everything you record and transcribe lives in YOUR infrastructure, not ours. You have full ownership, full access, and full control. We can't see your data, read your transcripts, or access your database. That's data sovereignty by design.
Hatched Memo is built so that your data never has to pass through our servers. Free users: everything stays on-device. Pro users: everything goes to your own Neon database. We only know your email and whether you've purchased — that's it. Because we don't store your transcripts, there's nothing to breach, nothing to request, and nothing to lose. You're GDPR-compliant by architecture, not by policy.
