01
One-click recording
Routines watches your calendar and your screen — when a Meet, Zoom, Teams, or Slack huddle starts, it offers to record. One click and the transcript begins.
02 / Meetings
Your meeting, written down. While it happens.
Routines notices the call, records it on one click, transcribes it live — and answers your questions before the meeting even ends. See how it sits next to the rest of the field in our roundup of the best AI note takers.

Can we ship the beta on Friday?

Ana
Great. Action item: Eduard signs the build.
Done. Recording this so nobody takes notes.
Step 03
Ask AI — while it's happening.
Summarize so farWhat did I miss?Make me sound smart
What did I miss in the last 10 minutes?
Ana proposed shipping the beta Friday — the only blocker is notarization. You own signing the build; Mihai owns the release notes.

The real app
Not a mockup. This is the app you download.
Real screens, captured straight from Routines on a Mac. Every transcript, summary, and chat below lives in local storage on your machine.
Live, mid-meeting
Ask the meeting a question while it's still going.
The transcript streams in as people talk. Pop open the chat, ask "what did I miss?", and get a straight answer in seconds, without leaving the call or pausing the recording.

After you hang up
Summary, decisions, action items. Written for you.
The recording stops and the one-pager is already there: summary, the decisions, who owns what. The full transcript sits one tab away, and you can keep chatting with the meeting or save it into your notes. It never leaves your Mac.

Everyone, attributed
Your mic and the room are captured as separate streams — "You" vs every other speaker, echo-filtered, in real time.
03
Ask AI mid-meeting
The chat reads the live transcript. "What did I miss?" "Who owns this?" — answers in seconds, without leaving the call.
04
Send notes anywhere
When you hang up, ask the chat to post the summary and action items straight to Slack, email, or Jira via your connectors.
05
AI summary & action items
Recording stops, Claude writes the one-pager: key points, decisions, owners — stored next to the transcript.
06
Offline Whisper fallback
No internet? A local Whisper model keeps transcribing. Audio never has to leave your machine.
07
Resilient recording
Checkpointed to disk every 5 seconds — survives crashes. Pause, resume, or hot-swap the language mid-call.
08
Local meeting library
Every transcript, summary, and note lives in local SQLite — full-text searchable, never uploaded.
Stop taking notes by hand.
Routines records, transcribes, and answers — while your data stays exactly where it belongs. If Granola is the tool you are weighing, read our Granola AI review first.
