Why lawyers need this.
Recording a conversation legally can require all-party consent (US two-party-consent states, and the EU under GDPR), and privileged client material shouldn't sit in a third-party cloud that trains on data.
- Consent rules vary — many US states and the EU require all parties to agree to recording.
- Privileged client material shouldn't sit in a third-party cloud or feed model training.
- You need an accurate, attributable record that you control.
How Humla fits.
- On-device and private. Run transcription and summaries locally so privileged material never leaves your Mac.
- Nothing to train on. No backend, no telemetry — Humla only talks to the AI providers you choose.
- You own the record. Notes live in local SQLite with kept audio you can re-listen to.
- No bot in the call — record with consent, without a third party in the room.

New note, record, summary — that's the whole workflow. The cleanup afterwards is none, on a five-minute meeting or an hour-long one.

FAQ
Is it legal to record a client call?+
It depends on where you and the other party are — many US states and the EU require all-party consent. Humla is built for consented recording; always get consent first. This isn't legal advice.
Where does the audio go?+
Nowhere, if you run on-device — transcription and summaries stay on your Mac, with no backend or vendor retention.
