What Kulak does in a meeting
Kulak is a Mac app that records the audio playing on your Mac. It joins nothing, announces nothing, and uploads nothing: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Discord or a browser tab all work the same way.
No bot in the call
Kulak records from your Mac’s own audio, so nobody sees a “recording bot joined” notice. When a meeting app opens, Kulak notices and asks whether to start.
Transcribed on your Mac
Speech becomes text on the device, in more than 90 languages. The audio never leaves your Mac — not for transcription, not ever.
Who said what
Your microphone and the other side are recorded as separate tracks, so speakers stay apart. Kulak suggests names from how people address each other; you approve them.
Summary, decisions, actions
When the meeting ends you get the summary, the decisions taken and who took on what — each item linked to the minute it was said in the transcript.
Ask your meeting
“What are my action items?” “What did Mert say about the budget?” Answers come only from that meeting’s transcript, each with the moment it was said.
Your notes stay files
Every meeting is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose. Copy it into Notion or Obsidian, export it as Word or PDF, or just keep it.
Your meeting stays yours
Recording and transcription happen on your Mac; the audio is never uploaded. Only when you use an AI feature — the summary or a question — is the text that feature needs sent to Kulak’s server, processed and not stored. No ads, no tracking.
Free, and Pro when you need it
Recording and transcription are free and unlimited. The AI features are the paid part.

Questions people ask
Does a bot join my meeting?
No. Kulak records the sound your Mac is already playing, so no participant appears and no notice is sent. Telling the other participants that you are recording is still your responsibility.
Does my audio leave the Mac?
No. Recording and transcription both run on your Mac. If you use the AI summary or ask a question, only the transcript text that feature needs goes to Kulak’s server; it is processed and not stored. Audio is never sent.
Which apps does it work with?
Anything that plays sound on your Mac: Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack huddles, Discord, a browser tab, or a recording you play back.
Which languages does it transcribe?
More than 90, Turkish and English included. Transcription runs on the device, so the language does not change where your audio goes.
What does Kulak need to run?
A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 14 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported, because on-device transcription relies on the Neural Engine.
Is my microphone recorded separately from the others?
Yes. Your microphone and the system audio are captured as two tracks, which is what lets Kulak tell you apart from the other side in the transcript.
Where are my notes kept?
In a folder you pick, as plain Markdown files. Nothing is locked inside the app; you can move, back up or delete them like any other file.
