Introducing the Notetaker desktop app

Record every meeting, visibly or invisibly.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

The Fyxer Notetaker desktop app is a lightweight Mac and Windows app that records your meetings directly from your computer – without showing up as a visible participant on the call.

No extra names in the attendee list. No interruptions. Just your transcript, summary, and action items captured quietly in the background.

Desktop app vs online Notetaker: what's the difference?

Fyxer supports two recording experiences:

Online Notetaker (visible)

  • The Fyxer Notetaker joins remote meetings as a participant

  • Best for scheduled Zoom/Meet/Teams calls

  • Desktop app can still be used manually for in-person meetings

Desktop app (invisible)

  • Records locally from your computer

  • Use it manually for in-person meetings, or alongside the online Notetaker

  • No participant entry on the call (if the online Notetaker is disabled)
