Turn sessions into notes on your Mac — on-device, no bot, nothing uploaded.

The problem
Why therapists need this.
Session notes carry confidentiality obligations (such as HIPAA in the US), and uploading session audio to a third-party cloud is exactly what those obligations discourage.
- Session notes are confidential; cloud uploads raise compliance questions.
- A bot joining a session is intrusive and breaks rapport.
- You need concise notes without the session leaving the room.
Why Humla
How Humla fits.
- On-device by design. Transcription and summaries can run entirely on your Mac — no cloud upload.
- No bot, no intrusion. Humla records your Mac quietly; nothing joins the session.
- Nothing to train on. No backend or telemetry; choose any AI provider, or go fully offline.
- You own the notes. Local SQLite on your disk, free to use.

Demo
See a meeting become a note.
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
Can session notes stay off the cloud?+
Yes — in on-device mode, audio and notes never leave your Mac. This isn't legal or compliance advice; confirm your own obligations.
Does a bot join the session?+
No. Humla records your Mac's audio directly, with the client's consent — nothing joins as a participant.
