What you get

A meeting tool that actually remembers.

One encrypted store, three ways to use it — the app, a local MCP server, and your exported Markdown files. One tree holds everything, boards sit on top of it, and Ivy reads all of it.

Workspaces

One tree for everything

A single tree — Workspaces › folders › your recordings and notes — in one sidebar that collapses to a rail when you want the room. Lock a Workspace and everything inside it is sealed with it.

Recordings, notes, tasks and boards file into the same place
A sealed Workspace shows its name and nothing else — no counts, no contents
Ask Ivy to file a stray recording for you
Deleted by mistake? Trash keeps it for 30 days — or however long you set, up to a year

The Workspaces sidebar: one tree of Workspaces and folders holding recordings, notes and boards, with a locked Workspace at the bottom

Dashboards

Boards you compose

Pull notes, recordings, documents, people, promise ledgers and reminders onto a board, then read it through Brief / Overview / Commitments / Sources / People lenses. Pin a living answer — a question the app keeps up to date, and withholds the moment its sources stop being readable. You can ask a board directly, grounded only in what's on it.

Seven kinds of tile — a note, a recording, a document, a person, a promise ledger, a reminders list, or a living answer
Five lenses over the same tiles — no second copy of anything
A board states its own boundary: what it can read, and what it derived

A board in its Brief lens: a pinned living answer, what needs attention, and the recent evidence behind it

Imports

Bring your existing notes

Settings → Imports pulls in a Notion export, an Obsidian vault, or Apple Notes. Entirely offline — no account, no key, no network call. Every import is a dry run first, so you see what it would write before it writes anything.

Three sources: a Notion export, an Obsidian vault, Apple Notes
Dry run first — nothing is written until you say so
Imported notes land in their own named folder, and Ivy reads them like everything else

Settings → Imports: Notion, Obsidian and Apple Notes, with the note that everything happens on this Mac and nothing is uploaded

Ivy

Talk to Ivy — during the meeting.

This is the part most note-takers don't have. Trigger Ivy with a wake phrase or a single tap; it answers out of your meeting memory, live, with citations you can open — and the recording never stops.

Grounded, not hallucinated — retrieved from your own transcripts
Optional consent-gated web — off by default

Ask your vault

Ask across months of calls.

Ivy again, pointed at everything you have ever recorded and written. Every answer arrives with the meetings and notes it was drawn from, so you can open the source instead of taking its word.

Narrow a question to one Workspace or folder — the whole subtree, and nothing outside it
Conversations are remembered — vault, note and meeting threads persist, with a history browser on each surface
A conversation disappears the instant any folder it drew on stops being readable

Capture & transcribe

It hears both sides of the call.

Dual-stream recording captures your mic and the other side's system audio, transcribes each independently on-device, and merges them by wall-clock into a clean Me / Others transcript with live captions as you speak.

On-device Whisper — tiny through large-v3, including the faster turbo build, plus quantized variants
Two-stream attribution: you and everyone else, plus voice-activity detection

Notes & memory

Structured notes and a graph that builds itself.

Every call becomes a clean note — summary, decisions, action items, quotes. Recordings and notes live side by side in the same Workspace. People and projects are extracted automatically into a knowledge graph, and sealed Workspaces stay hidden from it.

Ask across every meeting with hybrid semantic search
Entity dossiers, related meetings, weekly digests
Private reminders that never leave the Mac, each linked back to the recording or note it came from — Ivy proposes, you accept
Action items can also push to Apple Reminders
Feed it PDFs, Office docs, web pages and images — indexed for Ivy, on-device

The knowledge graph — meetings, notes, documents and people as one map, with typed links between them

Receipts

Every claim traces back to the tape.

IndexOne's notes don't ask you to trust them. Each line that's grounded in what was actually said carries a receipt — click it to jump straight to that second of audio, with the speaker and confidence. Paraphrased or unsupported lines get none, so you can see at a glance what's verified.

Click a claim, hear exactly where it came from
Speaker and ASR confidence on every receipt
Seven one-click artifacts from any meeting — follow-up email, decision log, work ticket, 1:1 recap, standup, sales recap, interview notes
Sealed folders leak no timing or speaker, ever

A generated note's receipts: one row per grounded claim, each carrying the speaker and the second of audio it came from

Yours to keep

Plain Markdown. No lock-in.

Every note is also exported as atomic Markdown — YAML front-matter, [[wikilinks]], block deep-links, and a canvas board option. They're just plain files you own, openable in any editor.

An encrypted SQLite database is the single source of truth
A read-only local MCP server for Claude Desktop and Claude Code
Plain Markdown exports you can open in any editor

Notes

Not just meeting notes. All your notes.

A full Markdown editor, filed in the same Workspaces as your recordings — for anything you write, not just what IndexOne transcribes. Select any passage and the Ivy menu appears: refine, shorten, change tone, translate, fact-check, or just type what you want done.

Nineteen Ivy actions, one keystroke away
Grounded in your own meetings and notes, not the model's guesses
Paste screenshots into notes; they stay local and follow the Workspace's lock

Shared Ivy

Work as a team, still end-to-end encrypted.

Publish a note or meeting summary into your organization's Shared Ivy and it stays in sync for every member as you edit. Everything is sealed on your Mac before it ever leaves — the server only ever stores ciphertext, wrapped keys and public keys.

AES-256-GCM sealed under an organization content key before upload
Verify before publish — the same discipline as locking a folder
Per-document permissions — the author sets View only or Can edit on each shared document
Belong to more than one organization — each gets its own encrypted feed
Shared Tasks — assignees, due dates, subtasks and the same permissions; tasks live inside an organization, so they need a signed-in account

The Shared Ivy view: meetings and notes your organizations have shared with you, each with its author and organization

Bring Ivy to your meetings — keep control on your Mac.

Local-first for macOS. Keep AI local, or explicitly opt into redacted cloud AI when you choose. See how it compares with Obsidian, Notion, Evernote, Bear and Amie.
