Just talk. It handles the rest.
Hold a shortcut, say what you need to remember and when. Super Notes transcribes it, understands it and creates the reminder in your calendar, entirely inside your Mac.

On first launch macOS says the app is not recognized, because it has not gone through Apple's paid notarization.

The first time, right click the app and choose Open, then Open again. That's it.
If macOS keeps blocking it
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Super Notes.app"What Super Notes does
Local transcription with Whisper
The model runs inside your Mac. Audio never leaves the computer.
Capture with one shortcut
A global shortcut opens the recording window from anywhere in the system.
Voice commands
"What do I have tomorrow?", "mark the dentist as done", "push the meeting to Friday". It acts on what already exists, not only creates.
Meeting mode
Records hours of conversation, transcribes in chunks and returns a summary, decisions and action items, each action becoming a task.
Daily digest
A morning notification with what's ahead, merging local notes and your calendars.
Text capture
Select text in any app and turn it into a task with the date already extracted.
Semantic search
Search by idea, not exact wording. It finds the note even when you don't remember the words you used.
Notes organized by date
Every reminder keeps its date, duration and the full text of what you said.
Audio preserved
The original file stays with the note, so you can listen again whenever you want.
Free export
Copy as plain text or export as Markdown into the app you already use.
Native on your Mac
Built in Swift, with Metal acceleration on Apple Silicon and a universal binary.
No account, no subscription
Download, open, use. There is no login, plan or note limit.
How it works
- 1
Speak
Hit the shortcut and say what you need to remember. Recording starts instantly.
- 2
Understand
Whisper transcribes and the local model extracts title, type, people and place.
- 3
Schedule
The date comes from a deterministic parser and the reminder goes to your calendar.
It understands what you said
After transcribing, a language model running on your Mac extracts the title, the type, the people and the place. The date is computed by a deterministic parser: the AI never does calendar math, because small models get that wrong often.
| Model | Size | Portuguese | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3 4B | 2.6 GB | excellent | The default. Best balance for Portuguese. |
| Llama 3.2 3B | 2.0 GB | good | The fastest of the good ones. Ideal with 8 GB RAM. |
| Gemma 3 4B | 3.3 GB | excellent | Great Portuguese, a bit heavier. |
| Qwen3 1.7B | 1.4 GB | good | Ultra light, for older Macs. |
Without an LLM installed the app still works: the deterministic Portuguese date parser handles most sentences.
The reminder goes where you already work
Apple Calendar, the Reminders app, Google Calendar, .ics files and a signed webhook to plug into anything: Notion, Todoist, Zapier, n8n or your own script.
Apple Calendar
Events created straight into the calendar you pick.
Reminders app
Tasks with date and time in the native macOS list.
Google Calendar
Sync with the agenda your team already uses.
.ics files
Export a standard event and open it in any calendar.
Signed webhook
Notion, Todoist, Zapier, n8n or your own script.
Pick your Whisper model
Smaller models answer almost instantly. Larger ones get more proper nouns and technical words right. Switch whenever you want in preferences.
| Model | Size | Speed | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| large-v3-turbo | 1.6 GB | ~8× faster | The default. Accuracy nearly identical to large-v3. |
| large-v3 | 3.1 GB | baseline | Maximum accuracy: poor audio, strong accents, many proper nouns. |
| large-v3-turbo q5_0 | 574 MB | very fast | When disk space matters. |
| small | 466 MB | instant | Modest Macs or short sentences. |
| base | 142 MB | instant | The lightest of them all. |
