After the meeting
A long transcript is useful evidence, but it is not the finished job. Flownote organizes the summary, decisions, and next steps so you can review what moves forward.

Return to previous conversations, ask about what was decided, and keep the answer connected to the meeting record instead of starting from scattered notes.

Your data
Flownote does not sell personal data. Its privacy policy explains the information used to provide transcription, summaries, chat, account access, and support—and the service providers involved.
Read the privacy policyNative computer-audio capture keeps a separate Flownote participant out of the meeting.

Search intent
This page refers to the Minutes AI note-taking app represented by myminutes.ai and the linked App Store listing. Generic searches for templates, minutes examples, or how to write minutes represent a different job.
Paid campaigns should use qualified product terms and avoid naked “minutes” or broad meeting-minutes queries that are unlikely to reflect competitor evaluation.
Capture and platforms
Flownote captures system audio on Mac and Windows without a meeting bot and supports in-person conversations on iPhone. Minutes AI documents Mac device-audio capture, built-in recording, file upload, and iOS, macOS, and Android availability.
Test the precise workflow you need, including whether transcription is live or post-meeting, how speakers are labeled, and which audio sources the selected device can access.
Output
Minutes AI documents speaker-labeled transcripts, formatted notes, AI questions, and sharing or export options. Flownote pairs the live transcript with structured notes, decisions, and follow-ups.
