Download for MacClass action lawsuit for recording without consent. Lawyers using Otter risk waiving attorney-client privilege the moment a transcript hits their servers.

I switched from Otter after the lawsuit. Remark does everything I need and nothing leaves my laptop. That matters when you're in healthcare.— Clinical researcher, NHS
The dictation modes are surprisingly good. It writes casual in Slack and formal in email without me changing anything. And it's completely local.— Product manager, London
We needed transcription that our compliance team would approve. Remark was the only tool where the answer to 'what data leaves the device?' was genuinely nothing.— Head of IT, financial services
Remark's speech recognition, speaker identification, and text formatting all run locally on Apple Silicon. Your voice recordings, transcriptions, and meeting data never leave your Mac. Remark downloads speech recognition models on first use and checks for app updates via Sparkle — but your content never touches a server. After initial setup, Remark works entirely offline.
No. After the initial download and model setup, Remark works entirely offline. You can dictate and transcribe meetings on a plane, in a secure facility, or anywhere without connectivity.
Remark processes everything on your device and never transmits data. There is no server-side data handling to audit, no Business Associate Agreement needed, and no third-party data processor in the chain. Your IT and compliance teams can verify this independently using any network monitor. While we don't hold a HIPAA certification (that applies to covered entities and their associates), Remark's architecture eliminates the data transmission risks that HIPAA addresses. For attorneys, the same principle protects privilege — no transcript ever reaches a third-party server.
Recordings and transcripts are saved as files on your Mac, in a folder you choose. Remark doesn't have a database or cloud sync. Your files are yours — you can move them, back them up, or delete them like any other file on your computer.
Yes. Remark captures system audio, so it works with any meeting platform — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or any other app that plays audio through your Mac's speakers. No browser extension or meeting bot required.
Crash reports are completely optional and off by default. If you choose to enable them, they contain only the error type, stack trace, your macOS version, and your Remark version. No audio, no transcripts, no meeting content. You can also report issues via email, where you see exactly what's being sent before you hit Send.
It's on the roadmap. Remark currently relies on Apple Silicon for local processing, which makes macOS the natural starting point. A Windows version will follow once we've identified equivalent local inference options for that platform.
