“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…”

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

01

Private by default

Audio never leaves your device. Whisper runs entirely in your browser — offline, free, and yours. No cloud, no tracking, no leaks.

02

Any device, no app store

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.

03

Built for AI IDEs

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.

04

Data sovereignty

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.

How it works

Three steps. Zero friction.

1

Press record

One tap. Mic, meeting, or system audio. No account, no setup.

2

Transcribe

In your browser with Whisper, or bring your own OpenAI key for the best models.

3

Ship it

Copy, export Markdown, or let your IDE read transcripts directly through MCP.

Your voice is yours. We never hear it.

Memo is local-first. Recordings live on your device. Transcription runs in your browser. When you go Pro, your data lives in your own Neon database — we can't read it, access it, or lose it. True data sovereignty, by design.

Questions, answered.

Where is my audio stored?+

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.

Does it work offline?+

Yes. Once loaded, 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.

Can it record Zoom or Meet calls?+

Yes. Choose Meeting mode, press record, and share the call tab when prompted. Memo captures both sides of the conversation.

What is MCP and why should I care?+

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.

How much does transcription cost?+

Browser Whisper is free and unlimited. For AI-powered refinement (fixing errors, improving speaker detection), Pro is $5/month or $50/year. You can also bring your own OpenAI API key for refinement at cost.

What is BYODB (Bring Your Own Database)?+

Your transcripts, your database. When you sign up for 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.

Is this GDPR compliant?+

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're subscribed — 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.

Say it. Ship it.
