The rebuilt Voicenotes Mac app is now open for public testing. This version brings much more of the Voicenotes experience into the native Mac app - you can record, view notes, read transcripts and summaries, search, use meetings and dictation, and ask AI questions, all without going back to Voicenotes.com.
Before you install
Before you download, here are a few things to know so the installation goes smoothly.
The current build supports macOS 26+.
We are testing macOS 15+ support and will update this article as older versions are validated.
The app uses your existing Voicenotes account - no new account needed.
During installation, macOS may ask whether you want to replace the existing Voicenotes app or keep both. If you keep both, the new app may appear as "Voicenotes 2."
