This guide walks you through installing the desktop app and recording your first meeting.
Step 1: download the app
Go to: fyxer.com/notetaker/download
Download the correct installer:
Mac → .dmg
Windows → .exe
Step 2: install on Mac
Open the downloaded .dmg
Drag Fyxer Notetaker into Applications
Launch the app
If macOS blocks it, see: Troubleshooting Notetaker desktop app installation.
Step 3: install on Windows
Open the .exe installer
Follow the setup steps
Launch from your Start Menu
Step 4: join or start a meeting
Once installed, the app runs quietly in your menu bar.
Go to settings to customize how Notetaker behaves. Here, you will see a setting to auto-detect meetings.
If this is toggled on (the default setting), Notetaker will automatically detect and join online meetings, such as Meet, Zoom, Teams, and Slack calls
If you turn this off, Notetaker won't join online meetings, but you can still use it for in-person ones
When you join a supported meeting platform, it can detect the call automatically.
You'll see a floating menu where you can:
Pause
Stop
Hide the recording indicator
Step 5: confirm recording consent
Before recording begins, Fyxer requires confirmation that participants have been notified.
You'll see a checkbox asking you to confirm you have notified the attendees that the meeting is being recorded and transcribed.
Fyxer can also:
Post a message in the meeting chat automatically
Or provide text you can copy/paste, if chat posting is disabled
For more information, see: Consent when using the Notetaker desktop app.
Step 6: view your notes and summary
After the meeting:
Audio is uploaded securely
Transcript and summary appear in your Dashboard → Recorded
Recaps may also be emailed, depending on your Notetaker settings
