Meetings notetaker on Mac: take meeting notes with Blip

What you need: Blip AI 0.5.10 or later, on a Mac with macOS 14.2 or later. The free plan includes 5 meetings a month. Pro has unlimited meetings, at the same price.

Blip's Meetings notetaker writes the notes for your calls. No bot joins the meeting: Blip listens through your Mac, so it works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack and any other call.

1. Turn it on (once)

1. Open Blip and click Meetings in the sidebar.
2. Click Turn on.
3. Click Download speech model. It's a one-time download of about 574 MB. It lets Blip turn your meetings into text on your Mac.
4. When macOS asks if Blip can record your Mac's audio, click Allow. That's how Blip hears the other people in the call.

If you clicked Don't Allow, choose Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security, open the screen and system audio recording setting, and turn on Blip AI.

2. Take notes in a meeting

1. When the meeting starts, press Option + M. You can also triple-tap Fn, or click New meeting in the Meetings tab.
2. Talk as usual. A small pill shows that Blip is taking notes.
3. When the meeting ends, press Option + M again or click Stop. If you forget, Blip stops by itself after a few minutes of silence.
4. A moment later, your notes are in the Meetings tab: the key points, the action items and the full transcript.

3. Use your notes

• Search notes: type in the search box to find anything from any meeting.
• Rewrite notes: ask for a different version, like "shorter" or "only the action items".
• Share: Copy notes, Copy for email, or Email notes in Gmail.
• Play: listen to any part of the meeting again.

Good to know

• Meetings can be up to 4 hours long.
• Your meeting audio is turned into text on your Mac, and the recording stays on your Mac. Only the text is sent to write the notes.
• Let the people in the meeting know you're taking notes.
• Coming soon: Blip MCP. Use your meeting notes in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI tools.

FAQ

Does a bot join my meeting? No. Blip records your Mac's sound and your microphone, so nobody sees a bot in the call. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack and any other call app.

How many meetings can I take notes for? 5 a month on the free plan. Pro has unlimited meetings, at the same price as before.

There's no Meetings tab. What do I do? Update Blip: click Check for updates next to the version number, or in Settings → About. Then quit and reopen Blip.

Why is only my voice in the transcript? Blip can't hear the call. Allow the audio recording permission from step 1, then start a new meeting.

Blip says my Mac is too slow for meeting notes. What now? The notetaker needs a Mac that can run the speech model. Close other heavy apps and click Check again. Dictation works as before either way.
