Super Notes

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.

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. 1

    Speak

    Hit the shortcut and say what you need to remember. Recording starts instantly.

  2. 2

    Understand

    Whisper transcribes and the local model extracts title, type, people and place.

  3. 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.

ModelSizePortugueseWhen to use
Qwen3 4B2.6 GBexcellentThe default. Best balance for Portuguese.
Llama 3.2 3B2.0 GBgoodThe fastest of the good ones. Ideal with 8 GB RAM.
Gemma 3 4B3.3 GBexcellentGreat Portuguese, a bit heavier.
Qwen3 1.7B1.4 GBgoodUltra 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.
