What Replay does
Replay records Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams without adding a meeting bot. Choose a window to capture its video, the app’s audio and your microphone. Recording from the Zoom or Teams prompt captures that app’s windows on the call’s display. With Apple Intelligence, Replay writes editable meeting notes from the transcript. Recording, transcription, notes and search run on your Mac.
Requirements and purchase
Version 0.2.14. Apple silicon · macOS 26 or later. Activate on two Macs using your purchase email. An activated Mac works offline indefinitely. Download the speech model for your language before using offline transcription. Current localized pricing and checkout.
Your data
Recordings are ordinary files under ~/Movies/Replay Recordings/. Only videos you explicitly share are uploaded, with public access for 1–12 hours and revocation at any time. Transcripts and notes stay local. Activation and signed update checks need a connection. A connected cloud AI assistant receives the meeting content it reads. Optional daily app usage counts are off by default and exclude meeting content, search text, and account and device identifiers.
AI assistants and local MCP
Use a client on your Mac that can launch a local stdio MCP command, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Cursor. Replay runs as /Applications/Replay.app/Contents/MacOS/Replay --mcp and exposes list_recordings, search_recordings, get_recording and get_transcript. A remote connector that only accepts a server URL cannot launch this command. MCP setup and privacy details.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Replay cost?
Replay for Mac costs $10 USD once in the U.S., before tax. No subscription. One purchase activates two Macs. Paddle shows the price and tax for your country at checkout.
Does a bot join my call?
No. Replay records Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams from your Mac. No bot joins as a participant, and there’s nothing to admit from the waiting room.
How many Macs can I use?
Each purchase activates two Macs. An activated Mac works offline indefinitely. Contact support if you need to replace a Mac.
Where do my recordings go?
On your Mac. Recording, transcripts, summaries and search all happen there, in ordinary files in your Movies folder. Sign in with your purchase email once to activate each Mac. Activation stores your email and a device license key on our server; activation never sends your recordings. Only videos you explicitly share are uploaded temporarily. After activation, work offline indefinitely.
What is Replay?
A Mac app that records your Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls — the video, your voice and theirs — and then writes a transcript, a summary, decisions, action items and chapters. Everything happens on your Mac.
Is anything uploaded?
Videos are uploaded only when you choose Share Link. Choose 1–12 hours of public access and revoke the link at any time; the uploaded copy is deleted when access ends. Transcripts, notes and summaries stay on your Mac. Replay also connects for purchase activation and signed app updates. Your Mac downloads the speech model for your language once. If you connect an AI assistant like Claude, the parts of a meeting it reads go to that assistant — that's your choice.
Which calls can it record?
Google Meet in a browser window and calls in the Zoom and Microsoft Teams Mac apps. Choose a window to capture its video, the app’s audio and your microphone. Meet recordings can include sound from other tabs in the same browser. The Zoom and Teams recording prompt captures that app’s windows on the call’s display. In Teams, Replay can also capture a window or screen you present when sharing is detected.
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later. Summaries need Apple Intelligence turned on.
Can it tell who's speaking?
Your voice and theirs are recorded separately, so every line is marked Me or Them. Name the speakers with a click (people from the calendar invite are suggested), and move a line to someone else to split a group call.
Should I tell people I'm recording?
Yes. Many places require everyone's consent to record a call, and Replay doesn't announce itself, so say so at the start.
How much space does it take?
About 400 MB for an hour-long call. The transcript and notes take almost nothing next to that. You can have older calls made smaller, or kept as sound only, so they take less over time.
