Built for calls you can't afford to miss.

A small, native layer between the conversation and your understanding. Earshot stays out of the call, works across apps, and keeps the entire workflow on your Mac.

Any app

Hear whatever your Mac hears.

Capture system audio from Zoom, Meet, Teams, webinars, and videos. Nothing joins the call and there is nothing for the other side to install.

Live overlay

Keep captions over the work.

A translucent, resizable, click-through panel floats above everything. Toggle it from anywhere with ⌥⌘T.

Local engines

Translate without a cloud key.

The public build keeps cloud engines hidden and focuses on local speech, local translation, and Apple-provided on-device language tools.

Languages

Read the meeting your way.

Translate into English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, or German, or automatically match your system language.

The meeting ends. The context stays.

Every session can become a searchable transcript, a local AI summary, and a Markdown export ready for the notes folder you already use.

History, exports, and settings remain accessible after the trial. Starting new caption sessions and AI summaries pauses until Earshot is licensed.

Release date stays Thursday. Design review needs two risk checks before the beta build is shared.

Let's confirm the launch date on Thursday.

Marketing feedback is still the main dependency.

Private by architecture.

Meeting audio is some of the most sensitive data you produce all day. Earshot is designed so the public build never needs to send it away.

  • Speech recognition runs locally with Whisper or Apple
  • Translation runs locally with Apple or an on-device LLM
  • No accounts, no telemetry, and no audio uploads
  • License data is stored locally where possible
  • Cloud engines remain hidden in the public build

Download first. Pay once when it earns its place.

Start with every feature unlocked for seven days. If Earshot belongs in your meetings, keep it with a one-time personal license.

Before your first meeting.

What Earshot does, where the data goes, and what remains yours.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once and the app is yours. Early Access buyers get Earshot app updates while the product is maintained; this is not a promise of indefinite maintenance, future products, third-party services, or forever support.

Does my meeting audio ever leave my Mac?

The public build does not expose cloud engines. Speech recognition and translation are designed around local models and Apple on-device language tools.

How is this different from meeting bots?

Bots join your call as a participant, visible to everyone and blocked by many companies. Earshot captures your Mac's audio locally, so it works with any app and no bot joins the call.

Which languages are supported?

Speech recognition supports the roughly 100 languages Whisper covers. Captions can be translated into English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, and German, or automatically matched to your system language.

What happens when the trial ends?

Starting new caption sessions and AI summaries pauses. Your meeting history, exports, and settings remain fully accessible. Enter a license key any time to continue.
