Meeting notes
that keep up.
Cereal listens along and writes your meeting notes on your Mac while you talk: what was decided, who’s doing what, and what’s still open. When the meeting ends, the recap is done.
A meeting notes app for Mac by Pinto Labs. Private beta, for Apple silicon on macOS 15 or later.

Ask for a photo, a drawing, a fact check…
Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime, Webex, and the room you’re in
Help in the moment
Ask out loud, or type in the overlay, and the answer shows up beside the call. When something could help, Cereal offers it first.
Suggestion
Explain the Weissman score?
The Weissman score rates compression
It weighs how much smaller a file gets against how fast it gets there. Higher is better, and 5.2 is the best on record.

Start notes
Share with a link
Publish read-only notes anyone can open in a browser, or invite people by email to read them in Cereal. Stop sharing any time.
It shows its work
Every note keeps the moment it came from. Open one to read what was said and how the note changed.
Look back as it runs
The whole meeting sits on one track under the notes. Drag back to any moment, and Live returns.
Your meetings
stay yours
Here’s exactly what happens to what’s said in your meetings, in plain words.
Read the Privacy Policy
Only when you start it
Cereal listens only after you press Start notes, and never saves the audio.
On your Mac, synced to your account
Your meetings are saved on your Mac and synced to your account, encrypted. Our team has no access.
Never sold or trained on
We never sell your data or use it for ads. The AI services behind your notes never train on your meetings.
Voices, never identified
Cereal tells voices apart but never identifies anyone by voice. On calls, it’s Me and Them, or the names Google Meet shows.
Lookups, never the conversation
Cereal looks up who you’re meeting and things that come up. Search gets only names and topics, never the conversation or anyone’s email.
Only what you share
A link shares your notes, and the transcript only if you add it. Stop sharing and the link stops working.
Stats, never what’s said
Usage stats are counts and timings, never what’s said. Turn them off any time in Settings.
Delete any time
Delete any meeting, or your whole account, in Cereal. Shared links and synced copies go too.
What Cereal does with Google
Cereal is a meeting notes app for Mac. It uses your Google account for two things, and nothing else.
Sign in with Google
Your name, email address and profile photo create your Cereal account, so your meetings, settings and shares stay yours on any Mac you sign in on.
Google Calendar, if you connect it
Cereal reads your calendar’s events, read-only, to show your upcoming meetings on its Home screen so you can start notes for them. Events are fetched by the app on your Mac and kept there. When you record a calendar meeting, its title, time and attendees are saved with that recording in your own library, and its title and attendees’ names and companies (never their email addresses) go to AI services only to transcribe that meeting and write its notes accurately. When it starts, the names of attendees from other companies, their companies and those companies’ web domains go to web search, to show who you’re meeting. Calendar data is never sold, never used for ads, and never used to train AI models.
What Cereal never does
- Never uses Google APIs or Google user data to generate images or other AI content.
- Never creates sexual, intimate or non-consensual imagery of anyone, including AI-generated imagery; it blocks such pictures in its own code.
- Never draws a picture unless someone asks, and labels every drawing as one.
- Never sells your data, uses it for ads, or trains AI models on your meetings.
Cereal’s use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
