For UX researchers
The transcript your legal team will actually approve.
Participant audio stays on the Mac it was recorded on. No DPA, no BAA, no US sub-processor for Sumsight. Exports to Markdown, SRT, plain text, or self-contained HTML.
Coming to the Mac App Store
Listen on your Mac.
Stay on your Mac.
Sumsight transcribes meetings, interviews, lectures, podcasts — anything playing on your Mac, or anything a microphone can hear. The key points are captured and a clean summary is written for you. All on your own laptop. No accounts. No cloud. No telemetry.

What it captures
Anything playing on your Mac. Nothing leaving it.
If your Mac can play it, Sumsight can transcribe it — Zoom and Webex calls, podcasts, lectures, livestreams. No bot. No mic needed. Nothing uploaded.
System audio is never written to disk. There is no code path that saves it — it exists in memory, only while you're listening.
Speaker labels need a microphone — audio played through the Mac arrives as one mixed stream, and Sumsight won't guess at who's talking.
When you stop the session, Sumsight picks out the key points and writes a clean summary with topics.
Point Little Snitch at it. You'll see the model downloads. You won't see your audio.
What Sumsight won't be
It will not join your calls with a bot.
It will not record without asking.
It will not summarize on someone else's GPU.
It will not write system audio to disk.
It will not train on your transcripts.
It will not have a subscription tier that makes the unpaid app worse.
It cannot — there is no server.
Made specifically for
Anyone who records conversations they're trusted with.
For journalists
Source protection, built into the transcription.
Phone interviews, archival video, press conferences. Captured, transcribed, summarized — with no third party holding a copy, and nothing phoning home.
For everyone else
Therapists, coaches, lecturers, podcasters at home.
If your audio shouldn't leave your laptop — by ethics, by contract, or by preference — Sumsight is built for you. One app, free, same on-device guarantee for everyone.
Made for macOS 26
Your Mac already has the AI. We just made it useful for transcription.
Sumsight uses the on-device intelligence Apple ships with macOS. No third-party services, no accounts to create. It fetches its models once; after that it works with the network off. Apple Intelligence has to be switched on before Sumsight will open.
Frequently asked, pre-launch
Worth answering before you sign up.
When does Sumsight launch?
We're targeting the Mac App Store as soon as the regression suite is green and Apple's review window allows. No countdown gimmicks here.
What does Sumsight cost?
Version 1.0 is free. No trial, no subscription, no in-app purchases. A future major version may be a paid upgrade — never a forced one.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Your audio and transcripts never do. Sumsight downloads its models once, from Apple and Hugging Face. After that it runs with the network off.
Why macOS 26, and why Apple Intelligence?
Sumsight is built on the on-device models Apple shipped in macOS 26. Apple Intelligence has to be enabled, on an Apple Silicon Mac — without it, the app won't open. Full requirements are on the support page.
Is there an iOS version?
Not at v1. iOS and iPadOS are on the v2 roadmap. The pre-launch list will hear about v2 first.
What happens to my email?
Stored on our own infrastructure. Never shared, never sold, never enriched. One email, ever — the launch announcement. Full privacy notice.
