FAQ
The useful details.
Short answers about privacy, platforms, AI and price. If something is missing, write to support.
Privacy
- Does unottr upload my meetings?
- Recordings and transcription stay on your computer. Ask sends selected transcript context to the AI connection you configure. Manual overviews and opt-in automatic overviews send the whole transcript, which can reach a hosted provider if that is the connection you chose. Audio, video and frames are never sent.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is no sign-in and no unottr account. Transcription, speaker separation, search and exports run without one.
- Does it work without internet?
- Transcription and speaker identification have no network call. The app downloads model weights on first use and caches them; after that it works offline. Optional AI features use whatever connection you chose, and a local Ollama or LM Studio server keeps requests on your machine.
Using unottr
- How do recordings get in?
- Point unottr at a watched folder and new files are transcribed on their own. You can also import a file, or record a screen or window on Linux.
- Does it join my calls?
- No. unottr works from recordings on your disk, so it does not add a bot to your meetings.
- Which AI models can I use?
- Ollama or LM Studio on your computer, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, OpenRouter, another OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or an installed Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity CLI. AI is optional; without it transcription and search still work.
- Is AI included?
- The app includes AI connections, not model usage. Local model servers can run without a provider fee. Hosted services bill against your own account.
- What can I export?
- Transcripts export or copy as txt, json, srt or vtt. Markdown notes can be saved automatically to a folder you choose.
Platforms
- Which computers are supported?
- Linux x64 (release builds target Ubuntu 24.04; the staged Vulkan loader needs glibc 2.38 or newer) and macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs are not supported, and Windows is a tester preview only.
- Do I need a GPU?
- No, but it helps a great deal. Vulkan on Linux or Metal on Apple Silicon runs Whisper on the GPU. Linux can fall back to CPU, where a large model can run slower than realtime.
Pricing and licensing
- How much does it cost?
- $6.90 once, for packaged desktop downloads and support. There is no subscription and no charge per recording.
- Is unottr open source?
- The software is MIT licensed. The one-time price covers packaged downloads and support; checkout states included versions and any update entitlement.
- What about future updates?
- Your MIT rights continue. Future packaged downloads and support may be sold separately; any included updates are described at checkout.
- Can I get a refund?
- Yes, within 14 days if the app does not run on a supported platform. See the refund policy for details.
