Ducktate is one workspace for your dictation, meeting notes, and action items. It formats that context so any AI agent knows exactly what is going on.
Made for agents. Owned by you.
Ducktate has an MCP server that any agent can talk to. Whatever agent you already pay for can use it.
Your notes stay plain Markdown on your Mac. Agents that read files work too.
Ask for the follow-up. Your agent already has the call.
Hi Priya, as promised on Tuesday, here is the annual pricing. You asked about seats for the design team, so I added that line too.
It already had the call.
Your agent was not on the call. Ducktate was. It catches what you say, hear, and type, and files it where every agent you use can read it.

Hold a key, talk in any app, and the filler is gone before it lands. On device. Just ducktate it.

You promise Priya the pricing by Thursday. Nobody writes it down. Thursday passes.
The promise is an action item before the call ends. Your agent drafts the email.
No more pasting the same background into every chat. Ducktate keeps it.
Take the call. The note, the decisions, and the action items file themselves.
Every dictation, meeting, and note in one folder of Markdown. Your agent still does the work. Ducktate is where it starts.
Your agent reads the same memory you do. Ask it anything you said, heard, or typed.

Based on each product's own site, pricing, and privacy pages, checked 2026-09-25. Wispr Flow: transcription runs in its cloud. Granola: notes are stored in its cloud and export as CSV. Monologue: local transcription on Mac, notes sync to its account. A dash means the page does not say. Ducktate: notes on your Mac are plain Markdown files unless you turn on Encryption Mode (Pro); notes in Ducktate Cloud are encrypted at rest with keys we manage, not end-to-end encrypted.
I speak faster than I type. My agents started from zero every time. I am in so many meetings that I forget what is going on. I work on so many projects at once. I needed one single place to keep everything organized.
So I built Ducktate. Everything I say, hear, and type lands in one place my agents can read.

Questions
Ducktate is one place for everything you say, hear, and type. It captures dictation in any Mac app and meetings with no bot, and files them as Markdown notes in one searchable memory. The AI agents you use can read that memory. You own it.
Ducktate has a free plan. Pro is $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year.
Yes. Your notes are plain Markdown files in a folder you choose. Any agent that reads files can use them.
No. Transcription runs on your computer and the audio never leaves it. AI cleanup is separate: for Pro and trial users it uses Ducktate Cloud by default, which sends the text (never audio) to Ducktate servers on Google Cloud, where Google Gemini models clean it. You can switch Ducktate Cloud cleanup off in Settings and keep cleanup local.
No. Ducktate records through your computer's audio system, so it captures both sides without a bot. Nobody in the call sees anything join.
Slack Huddles, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet in a supported browser (Chrome, Safari, Arc, Brave, or Edge), and Discord. It always asks before recording. Meeting capture needs macOS 14.4 or later.
No. AI cleanup is optional and works with the Claude or ChatGPT account you already have, with no API key and no per-word bills. Pro adds local models via Ollama and any model via OpenRouter. Or turn AI off and keep raw transcripts.
As plain Markdown in a folder you choose. No account is needed to read your own notes.
Yes for transcription, using the bundled model. Bigger, more accurate models download on demand. Offline AI cleanup uses a local model on your computer, available on Pro.
About two minutes. Install the app, sign in, pick the folder your notes live in, and grant two permissions: microphone and Accessibility. Then hold the hotkey and talk, or take your next call.
A Mac with Apple Silicon on macOS 14 or later. Meeting capture needs macOS 14.4 or later.
