ChatGPT-Powered Summaries via Apple Intelligence
Get structured AI summaries with key topics, action items, and decisions - powered by ChatGPT through Apple Intelligence via a simple Shortcut integration. No API keys or subscriptions needed. Summaries are optional, and you're always asked before anything is sent.
AI Chat With Your Recordings
Ask follow-up questions, pull out quotes, clarify decisions, or draft follow-up emails in a dedicated side panel. Conversation history is saved per recording, so you can pick up where you left off. Powered by ChatGPT through Apple Intelligence - no API keys, and only transcript text is sent for context, never your audio.
Menu Bar Quick Access
Start, resume, pause recordings, toggle audio sources, and switch languages instantly from the menu bar - without opening the main app. Stay focused on your work.
Import Audio Files & Export Recordings
Already have audio? Import MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, and more - bring in several files at once and choose the transcription language for each one, then Silkwave Voice transcribes and summarizes them automatically. Any recording - whether you captured it live or imported it - can be exported as a single .zip bundling the audio, transcript, and summary.
Search Across All Recordings
Find anything you've ever recorded. Search across titles, transcripts, and summaries instantly - with keyword highlighting to pinpoint exactly what you're looking for.
Dark Theme
Prefer a darker look? Switch to dark theme to reduce eye strain during late-night sessions and match your macOS system appearance.
