Amlin is a macOS app with two ways to capture, and one brain that keeps getting smarter.
Notes — a notepad that listens. You jot rough notes during a meeting while Amlin quietly transcribes both sides of the conversation. Seconds after the call ends, it merges your fragments with the transcript into clean, structured notes.
Dictation — a voice that types. Hold the fn key anywhere on your Mac and speak. Amlin drops cleaned-up text — filler removed, punctuation and lists sorted — straight into whatever app you're in.
The two share one vocabulary and one searchable memory, so both get better the more you use them.
What makes Amlin different
No bot ever joins your calls. Amlin captures your computer's audio at the OS level. Nothing appears in the participant list, there's no "Amlin has joined," and it works on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, phone calls, webinars, and in-person conversations alike — anything that makes sound.
It's a notepad, not a notetaker. Your notes steer the output. The AI fills in structure and detail around what you thought was important.
It never auto-records. Capture arms only when you open a note or accept a nudge.
Audio is never written to disk. It's transcribed live and discarded. Only text is kept.
Dictation runs entirely on your Mac. Your voice never leaves the device.
What a session looks like
Open a note — from your calendar agenda, the + New note button, or ⌘⇧N from any app.
Type sparse fragments while you talk. The screen stays a quiet notepad, with no AI chrome in your way.
Hit Stop, and enhancement begins. Within seconds you have structured notes and a list of action items.
Your words stay black; Amlin's added detail is gray, so you can always tell what came from where.
