One conversation, all the context

The meeting ends.
The context doesn’t.

Synthezia turns a recording into local, structured knowledge you can revisit instead of another file you never open again.

Record or import

Use an existing audio or video file, record your microphone, or capture macOS system audio where supported.

02

Transcribe locally

Your recording is prepared and transcribed directly on your Mac, without uploading it to a transcription service.

Summarize and ask

Search your history

Global Chat finds relevant moments across your meeting history and links answers back to the meetings they came from.

Local-first by architecture

The privacy model is part of the product.

In Local Mode, the core workflow stays on your Mac. Internet access is only needed for initial model downloads, Premium activation, or an external AI provider you choose to use.

01What is Synthezia?

Synthezia is a local-first meeting intelligence app for Apple Silicon Macs. You can record or import meetings, transcribe them locally, create structured summaries, ask questions about a meeting, and use Premium Global Chat to search across your meeting history.

02Does Synthezia upload my meeting audio to the cloud?

Not in Local Mode. Recording, transcription, summaries, meeting chat, and meeting-history search can stay on your Mac. If you choose to connect an external AI provider, Synthezia can send the question and selected meeting context to that provider for the request you make.

03Does Synthezia require a meeting bot?

No. Synthezia works from recordings created on your Mac or media files you import. It does not need to join a meeting as a participant or bot.

04Does Synthezia work offline?

Yes. After the required local models have been downloaded during setup, Local Mode can work offline. Internet access is still needed for model downloads, Premium activation or revalidation, and any external AI provider you choose to use.

Start locally

Put the intelligence on your Mac.
Not another bot in the room.

Free includes the local core workflow. Premium is for the intelligence that compounds across your meeting history.
