Always-on AI meeting notetaker with a self-erasing screen replay
Bubbles keeps a rolling, encrypted replay of your screen and audio on your Mac. Each new minute deletes the oldest, so nothing accumulates and nothing uploads until you save a clip.
Type a few fragments during the call and Bubbles' AI turns the transcript plus your jottings into a structured summary, owner-tagged action items and a full transcript.
The desktop app runs locally, so nothing appears in the participant list. A separate, optional notetaker can join scheduled meetings from your calendar on supported platforms.
Scroll back through the replay, trim exactly the moment that matters and share a link. Only the trimmed clip is uploaded - never the surrounding replay.
The AI meeting assistant that records without a bot and hands your agent the notes
Shadow detects when a call starts, records automatically, and stops at the end — no bot in the meeting, nothing to remember to press.
Transcription runs on your Mac, with real-time speaker identification so you always know who said what.
Every call is saved as a clean .md file locally, openable as an Obsidian vault, backed up with iCloud or Drive, or searchable by Spotlight.
Run prompts on a completed call (notes, BANT, follow-ups, summaries) plus shortcut-driven actions on your screen between meetings.
