NotchLive 1.9 is live.

The app started as private live captions for Mac. This release turns those captions into a meeting record you can actually review and use.

On Apple silicon, NotchLive can now separate remote speakers locally. After a meeting, you can rename participants, merge duplicate speakers, reassign or split incorrectly attributed speech, and leave uncertain parts visibly unresolved.

The reviewed record powers Meeting Analytics, speaker-aware exports, portable meeting data, and optional read-only local MCP access for Codex and Claude.

When I launched NotchLive on Product Hunt, it was mainly a Mac app for private live captions and translation.

It has grown quite a bit since then:

• A dedicated microphone engine called K kako for clearer, more responsive microphone captions

• Meeting Intelligence with summaries, decisions, and action items

• Voice Notes

• Saved sessions, exports, and Live Timeline

• Ghost Mode for screen-sharing workflows

• Team Packs for multiple users

• A redesigned interface across the app

The original idea remains the same: speech recognition runs on-device, no meeting bot joins your calls, and free live captions remain free.
