AI meeting notes without a bot

Updated July 2, 2026

Most AI notetakers join your meeting as a participant. A bot shows up in the call, everyone sees it, and the recording lives on someone else's servers.

June works differently. It listens through your Mac's audio, so there is nothing to invite and nothing extra on the call. When June detects a supported meeting, it offers to take notes. You approve it, run the meeting, and get a transcript and structured notes when you are done.

How June captures meetings without a bot

June records from your Mac directly: your microphone, and system audio when you want the other side of the call captured. Because the capture happens on your device, no bot joins the meeting and nothing appears in the participant list.

That also means June works wherever you take the call from your Mac. There is no per-app integration to configure and no calendar bot to manage.

Where your meeting data lives

Recordings, transcripts, and notes are stored on your Mac. Audio is sent out for note transcription, and June routes those calls to zero-retention models by default: nothing stored, nothing trained on. OpenSoftware keeps only account, login, and billing records.

You do not have to take that on faith. June is open source under the MIT license, and the backend that routes model calls runs in a TEE with cryptographic attestation you can check yourself.

What you get after the meeting

June writes structured notes from the transcript, so you end the call with something you can act on rather than a wall of text. Notes live alongside the transcript in the app.

Because June also includes an agent, your meetings become context you can use. Ask follow-up questions, pull decisions out of last week's call, or have June draft the recap message. All of it stays in your private workspace.

Consent still matters

No bot in the call does not mean no responsibility. Depending on where you and the other participants are, you may need consent to record. June leaves that in your hands, and we publish plain guidance in our recording consent page. Telling people you are taking notes is usually the right move anyway.

Frequently asked questions

No. June captures audio from your Mac directly, so nothing joins the call and nothing appears in the participant list. There is no calendar bot to configure or uninvite.

No. June runs on your Mac and does not appear in the meeting. Participants only know June is taking notes if you tell them, which we recommend where consent rules apply.

Recordings, transcripts, and notes are stored on your Mac. Audio is sent out for note transcription through zero-retention model routing by default, so nothing is stored on model servers and nothing is trained on. OpenSoftware stores only account, login, and billing records.

No. OpenSoftware never trains on your data, and June routes to zero-retention models by default, so the default model providers store nothing and train on nothing. Anonymized third-party models are opt-in and clearly labeled.

Yes. June's free Hobby plan includes meeting notes, dictation, and light agent usage, with the same privacy standard as Pro. Pro is $20 per month for higher usage.
