About QuickQuill
QuickQuill is a Mac menu-bar app that captures meetings from your microphone and system audio, transcribes them entirely on-device and produces local summaries, without inviting a meeting bot or sending audio to the cloud. Push-to-talk dictation works anywhere on the Mac and stays free forever, while a one-time licence unlocks unlimited meeting capture, file import and translation features.
