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.
How Humla fits
See it in action: how to record in-person meeting on your Mac.
- 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. Sessions never reach Humla; choose any AI provider, or go fully offline.
- You own the notes. Local SQLite on your disk, free to use.
One meeting, from agenda to recap
Write the agenda, record the call, press Summarize. Your note stays on the left while the transcript and the recap fill in on the right.

Questions and answers
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.
