AI notetakers without a bot: capture any meeting without a stranger joining
Why device-mic capture beats the meeting-bot model, and how to record bot-free.
The recorder for the room, not the video call.
Record your in-person meetings on your phone or in your browser, get a clear summary in minutes, then let Critique pressure-test what was decided. No bot joins the call. No hardware to buy.
✓ No bot, no hardware
✓ Every feature on every plan
✓ Android, web & desktop
Capture anywhere
Built for the conversations a laptop bot can’t reach.
Record in person or in a browser video call, or bring in a phone call or file you already have. Every recording becomes a clean summary, action items, named speakers, and a searchable transcript you can export.
In-person meeting
Set your phone on the table and record the room.
Phone call
Recorded a call on your phone? Import it and Recard transcribes it.
In-browser video call
Share the tab in Chrome or Edge. No bot joins.
Import a file
Import an MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, or FLAC file.
The moat
The only AI notetaker that argues back.
Critique reads your meeting like a sharp devil’s advocate. It steelmans the strongest version of the plan, tells you where it holds and where it breaks, surfaces blind spots, runs a premortem, and cites its sources or admits it can’t.
Ask Recard
Ask one meeting, or your whole library.
Chat with a single recording and get seekable-quote citations you can play back. Or ask across your most relevant meetings at once, with per-meeting timestamped citations and smart follow-ups.
Start free on the web appHow it works
Three steps, no setup ritual.
No bot to install, no calendar to connect, no hardware to pair.
1
Hit record
Open the app on your phone, or record right in the web app.
2
Recard does the work
It transcribes and summarizes your conversation in minutes.
3
Read, ask, or challenge
Skim the summary, ask a question, or run Critique on it.
Why teams trust it
Same AI value. None of the baggage.
No bot in the room
Your phone does the recording, so nothing joins the call and nothing shows on the participant roster. No device to buy or charge.
Private, and honest about it
Standard recordings are processed securely in the cloud and synced, never used to train AI models. Ultra Privacy processes transiently, returns the full result to your phone, then verifies deletion of Recard’s cloud copies.
Every feature on every plan
Critique, Ask Recard, summaries, export, sharing, all included on the free plan. Paid plans raise the volume, never unlock the features.
Pricing
Start free. Upgrade only for volume.
Every AI feature is on the free plan. Paid plans just raise how much you record. Subscribe on the web through Stripe or on Android through Google Play.
