What does Yakki help with?

Your voice, your meetings, your insights. All on your Mac.

Yakki is the macOS app that turns spoken words into structured knowledge β€” whether you're dictating, recording a meeting, or importing audio from anywhere. Private by design, powerful by nature.

Dictate at the speed of thought

Hold a key, speak naturally, and your words appear exactly where your cursor is β€” in any app. No window switching, no copy-pasting, no friction. Just talk, and keep moving.

Record any app's audio in one click

Capture audio from Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, your browser β€” any app running on your Mac. Select it from the menu bar and hit record. Yakki transcribes it in real time while you focus on the conversation, not on taking notes.

Import anything. Transcribe everything.

Got a podcast, a voice memo, a lecture recording, an interview? Drag it in. Yakki handles MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, WebM, and more β€” no format headaches. Queue up multiple files and let them process while you do something else.

Know who said what

Yakki identifies individual speakers automatically β€” up to 8+ voices in a single recording. Each segment is labeled, timestamped, and attributed. Rename speakers, reassign misattributed lines, and export a clean, readable conversation transcript. It even detects names from the conversation itself β€” "Thanks, Sarah" β€” and suggests identifications for you to confirm.

Turn hours of audio into minutes of clarity One click generates structured meeting intelligence from any transcript:

Summary β€” the TL;DR you'd write if you had time Key points β€” what mattered most, with speaker attribution and timestamps Decisions β€” what was agreed, who decided, and why Action items β€” who owes what, ranked by priority, ready to track Participant insights β€” who drove the conversation, what topics they raised, and their overall sentiment Every insight is backed by verbatim evidence from the transcript. A verification pass cross-checks the analysis, so you can trust what you read.

Your recordings, your data. Period. All transcription and speaker recognition happens on-device. Your audio never leaves your Mac. No cloud processing, no accounts, no data collection. Insights are generated through a secure proxy, but your raw audio stays exactly where it belongs β€” with you.

Designed to disappear Yakki lives in your menu bar. No dock icon, no clutter, no learning curve. Install it, grant permissions, and forget it's there β€” until you need it. Then it's one keystroke or one click away.
