Launch check-in — pricing v2
The launch stays on the 14th; the campaign slips by a week.
The visuals must be signed off before Friday — the only blocker.
Lea is redoing the pricing page alongside the rest.
Support cover confirmed: Yanis and Sofia, 14th to 21st.

PLAIN FILES
Notes are Markdown on your disk. They outlive the app.
01 — RECORD
Capture both sides of the call
Your microphone catches what you say. System audio catches what you hear — the call, the webinar, the screening. Each device becomes its own track, and the whole conversation lands in one note.
- Start from the menu bar, or from anywhere with ⌥⌘R
- The transcript is written live, word by word
An illustration of Parlote’s menu-bar panel: a running timer, live levels for the microphone and the system, the sentence being transcribed, and lists of input and output devices with tick boxes that decide which ones are recorded.
02 — TRANSCRIBE
Know who said what
Transcription runs on your Mac's own silicon while you talk. Speakers are told apart automatically, so the transcript reads like the meeting actually went.
- Live, offline, and fast — no server in the loop
- Click any segment to hear that exact moment again
An illustration of a Parlote transcript: six exchanges between two speakers, each with its timestamp and name, the line currently being spoken shown at full strength while the others fade.
03 — SUMMARISE
An hour of talk, five lines you act on
Parlote summarises the moment the transcription is finished — decisions, action items, owners, deadlines. The model runs locally, like everything else.
- Regenerate with your own instructions, in plain words
- Pick how deeply it rereads the transcript before writing
