A few good questions
Before you start.
What can I do in Today?
Speak a brain dump and turn it into editable tasks while keeping your original transcript. Choose how much time you have, review suggested estimates, and focus on one task with a timer. You can pause, track overtime, and receive check-ins while the app is open. Review AI suggestions before relying on them.
Does Scribulate work offline?
After installing the local models, dictation, transcription, and text processing run on your computer. Model downloads and user-requested update checks and downloads need internet access.
Do I need an account or an API key?
No. Scribulate works without an account, API key, Ollama, or a separate server. Accounts and optional paid features are planned for a later version.
Why can’t I just use Granola?
You can. Granola focuses on meeting transcription and notes; it isn’t a general-purpose dictation tool for typing into other apps. Scribulate combines meeting notes with everyday voice typing for emails, messages, and documents. Granola offers a free plan and privacy controls, but uses external providers for transcription and AI processing. With Scribulate, speech recognition and text processing stay on your computer after model setup. The current app is free to download and use, with no account, subscription, or API key required.

Why can’t I just use Wispr Flow?
You can. Wispr Flow offers a free tier and privacy controls, but processes speech in the cloud. Scribulate is for people who want to dictate without sending their audio to a hosted AI service. Speech recognition and text cleanup run on your computer after model setup, so you can write offline. The current app is free to download and use, including dictation and meeting notes, with no account or subscription required. Read the privacy walkthrough →

What happens to my recordings?
Raw audio is deleted after normal processing by default. You can choose to retain it in Settings. Saved dictations, transcripts, and notes remain locally until you delete them. Interrupted processing can leave audio files behind.
Can I record meetings?
Yes. Scribulate captures your microphone and system audio. Stop the recording to transcribe it, then generate notes in your vault. Me/Them labels identify the audio source, not individual speakers. Make sure participants know about and consent to recording where required. See how local meeting notes work →
Where can I get Scribulate?
