Sidecue listens on your own computer, transcribes the conversation, and shows AI cues, summaries and action items in a side panel only you can see.
7-day trial, no card required · Windows 10 & 11
How it works
No plugin in your calendar, no guest in your meeting, no recording sent anywhere you did not choose.
Teams, Zoom, Meet, a browser tab — anything that plays audio on your computer.
It captures the audio already on your machine and turns it into a live transcript.
Suggestions, answers and action items land in a panel only you can see.
Why it is different
Free note-takers are everywhere. They all have the same two problems — and both are the reason Sidecue exists.
Cloud note-takers dial in as a visible guest. Sidecue reads audio already playing on your machine, so meetings stay between the people in them.
Run transcription and the language model on your own hardware. In that mode no audio and no transcript ever leaves the computer. See exactly what goes out →
Bring your key from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google and pay the provider directly. We never resell or meter AI usage.
A live counter shows tokens and minutes spent, with a hard spending cap that pauses everything once reached.
