Block AI from transcribing your meetings.

Works with Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and any app that uses your mic.

Say it in the room. Not in the notes.

AI notetakers don’t just transcribe. They pick out what you said between us and send it to everyone on the invite, often without a bot ever joining the call. With Off the Record, people hear you as usual, and the notetaker gets nothing worth sharing.

Hear it for yourself.

Play it, then go off the record. You still hear every word. AI doesn’t.

Interview the candidate, not their copilot.

Interviewing today is hard. AI copilots hide on candidates’ screens, listen to your questions and write polished answers in seconds. With Off the Record, the candidate hears you as usual and the copilot hears nonsense, so you know every answer is their own.

Voice processing stays on your Mac.

Everything happens right on your device. Your voice is never sent to us, or to any cloud service. It stays private, and it stays yours.

Off the Record Stick · coming soon

Your protected voice, on every call.

Off the Record protects your voice in online meetings. But what about phone calls? Regular calls aren’t end-to-end encrypted, and intelligence agencies have been recording1 and transcribing2 them for years. Stick brings the same protection to every call you make.

  • Works with any phone you can pair a Bluetooth headset with, iPhone or Android.
  • Protected as you speak, 100% on your device.
  • One click turns protection on or off.

Questions, answered.

It stops AI from transcribing your conversations. A small model on your Mac reshapes your voice in real time: people hear you as usual, speech-to-text gets nothing usable.

No. Everything runs locally on your device. Your voice never goes to us or any cloud service.

Only slightly. Off the Record adds small amounts of noise at strategic points in your voice, aimed at speech-to-text rather than human ears. People understand you as usual, though they may sometimes notice a slight change. For the best results, use headphones.

Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and any app that uses your mic. No per-app setup.

AI notetakers and meeting bots that transcribe your calls, and hidden copilots that listen in to feed answers.

Often, yes, and Off the Record doesn’t fight them. But not every notetaker announces itself: some run quietly on the other person’s computer, with no bot in the call and no notice to anyone. You can’t say no to what you can’t see. Off the Record gives you the choice back: keep the lock off when you’re happy to be transcribed, turn it on when you’re not.

Yes, and that’s the point: people hear you as usual, live or recorded. What Off the Record stops is AI. Your voice is reshaped before it leaves your Mac, so a recording carries the same protection, and transcribing it later still gets nothing usable.

Download it for macOS, open it from your menu bar, and click the lock.
