How it works
From the call to the notes
PolarParrot records your call's audio and your mic from your Mac. When you press Stop, the notes are written and your AI can read them.

The first time
It walks you through it.
Sign in
With Google or with an email code.
Allow access
Mic and Mac audio, one at a time, each explained. Screen is optional.
Run the test
Five seconds to check both tracks can be heard.
Choose where it shows up
In the menu bar or also floating next to your video call, and whether it opens when you log in to your Mac.
While you record
The panel shows the time and both tracks. If only one is moving, you know something's off before the meeting ends.
- It records your mic and your Mac's audio separately.
- It warns you if the others stop being heard while you talk.
- Take screenshots with ⌃⌥⌘C if you allowed screen access. Up to 12 per meeting, and what matters goes in the notes.
- Long silence? It asks if you're done. It never stops by itself.
When you stop
The audio is turned into text and the notes get written. Then the audio is deleted, unless you change that in Settings.
- A one-line summary.
- Actions and, if it came up, who owns each one.
- Decisions.
- Questions to clear up anything unclear.
- The transcript by speaker, if you keep it: you choose in Settings.
