OffReco Every meeting, kept —
without asking anyone.
Auto-detects the meeting and records in one click. When it ends, a Japanese-first local AI transcribes everything automatically.
Even meetings you don’t host — no bot, and nothing leaves your Mac.
First month free, then ¥220/mo (¥2200/yr)

OffReco is a Japanese-first meeting transcription app that runs entirely on your Mac. It auto-detects your meeting, records in one click, and transcribes everything automatically when it ends. Your audio and transcripts are never sent to any server (first month free, then ¥220/mo).
Your audio and transcripts are never sent to any server.
- No need to ask the host
- No meeting bot
- Never uploaded to the cloud
It’s the meetings too small for minutes that bite you later.
“What number did they say?” “Who agreed to own that?” You understood it in the moment — then it slips the instant it ends. You forget to record — and asking “mind if I record this?” every time someone else hosts is awkward, while dropping a bot into the call feels like a recording sign hanging over everyone.
So don’t ask, and don’t rely on memory. Keep it on your Mac — automatically, without handing it to the cloud.
Never have to ask
“can you share the notes?”
Even for meetings you don’t host, you don’t wait on someone’s Zoom or Teams recording or AI summary — your Mac transcribes locally the moment it ends. No more “could you record this?” or “send me the notes later.”
No need to ask the host
Capture meetings others host straight from system audio on your Mac — no need to bring up “mind if I record?” every time.
No meeting bot
No recording bot shows up in the participant list. Keep the room’s mood unchanged and capture quietly.
Nothing leaves your Mac
Audio and transcripts stay on your Mac. Even confidential meetings fit your organization’s rules.
Practically nothing to do.
A nudge at meeting time
Syncs with your Mac’s calendar. When the meeting is about to start, a popup appears in the menu bar — even when someone else is hosting. (Meetings not on your calendar are caught via mic use in meeting / call apps.)
Records in one click
One click from the popup starts recording. Captures the other side (system audio) and your voice (mic) on separate tracks — without mixing them, and with no bot joining the call.
Transcribes when it ends
It detects the end and a local AI transcribes automatically. It can take a little while — that’s your Mac doing the work — and you’ll get a notification when it’s ready. No forgetting to record, no forgetting to hit transcribe.
Search — and minutes
Browse, search and manage your library. Generate minutes with your own ChatGPT or Claude — one tap with Claude Desktop. Only the transcript is shared, never the audio.
Processing time depends on your Mac and the model you use (lighter models are faster; higher-accuracy ones take longer). You’ll get a notification when it’s done.
Built for the meetings you’d rather keep in.
Strong in Japanese, fully local
A Japanese-tuned model (Kotoba Whisper) runs on your Mac — nothing uploaded, and it even works offline.
Fully automatic
Detect → record → auto-transcribe on end → library. No more “I forgot to record.”
No need to ask the host
Capture meetings you don’t host — without asking anyone and without a bot — right on your Mac.
Meetings and calls
Beyond Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams, it can capture LINE, Messenger and FaceTime calls from system audio.
Two-track capture → who said what
Your voice (mic) and the other side (system audio) are recorded on separate tracks — never mixed — and transcribed independently, so cross-talk doesn’t collapse into one muddy clip. Enter the number of people to label who spoke, then browse and search every meeting.
Minutes, with your own AI
OffReco prepares the prompt and transcript; you generate the minutes with your own ChatGPT or Claude, saved as minutes.md (and synced with your project). One tap with Claude Desktop, two with the web apps. OffReco never calls an AI itself — only the transcript is shared, never the audio.
Works with: Zoom / Google Meet / Microsoft Teams / Webex / Amazon Chime / Whereby / BlueJeans + other app calls via mic detection
Let the AI you already pay for
write the minutes.
OffReco doesn’t bundle its own summarizer. It connects to the ChatGPT or Claude you already use, so creating minutes is half-automated in just a few clicks — hand over the transcript, let it write, and the finished minutes are pulled back in automatically. No audio leaves, no extra fees.
Minutes, half-automated in a few clicks: one tap with Claude Desktop, a few clicks with ChatGPT / Claude (web) — from generating to importing.
ChatGPT / Claude (web)
Press the button to open your browser → paste & send → back in OffReco it’s imported automatically.
Claude Desktop
A single button generates the minutes and saves them back to OffReco — fully automatic.
Imported minutes are saved as minutes.md and synced automatically to your project folder (Google Drive / Dropbox / iCloud, etc.).
Notes that aren’t just for people — they’re for your AI.
After every meeting, OffReco writes the transcript into a project folder (Markdown / JSON). An AI agent watching that folder always works with the latest meeting context — without being asked.
Group meetings into a project
Just keep related meetings together in one project.
Auto-sync to a folder you choose
Transcripts (Markdown / JSON) are pushed one-way to your chosen folder. Audio is never written out.
Your AI picks up where you left off
An AI agent reading that folder can move the project forward with every past meeting in context.
OffReco’s part ends at writing transcripts to the folder you designate. Which AI reads that folder — a code repo, a knowledge vault, a synced folder — is up to you.
Simple settings.
Setup and model download, almost automatic.
Just follow the first-run wizard. Python and ffmpeg are bundled, and the recommended model downloads automatically. No fiddly configuration.
See setupHow is this different from built-in AI?
Zoom and Teams’ own recording and AI summaries are handy — but only for meetings you host inside that one tool. OffReco captures everything that falls outside it, right on your Mac.
Meetings others host
A client’s Zoom, a partner’s Teams — even when you can’t turn on their recording or AI, you still get a transcript on your side.
Beyond Zoom, and in person
Meet, Webex, phone calls, in person, even LINE/FaceTime — all captured from system audio, gathered in one place across tools.
Meetings that can’t go to the cloud
Built-in AI processes in the cloud. For meetings that can’t leave your org, OffReco keeps it fully local.
If everything you do happens in your own Zoom, the built-in AI is enough. OffReco is for the meetings beyond that — and the ones that can’t leave your Mac. It’s meant to run alongside, not replace.
Same “transcription,” very different where it lives.
Local, automatic, and entirely on your Mac — from detection to transcript. (You can still use it alongside your usual tool.)
