audio

Your sound, on your machine

Voice memos that transcribe themselves on your device, a library for your own music, podcasts from your feeds, and a real two-deck mixer. None of it leaves your machine unless you choose.

Free license includes the full local app. No credit card required.

What you can do

Voice memos

Record on any platform and trust the take. Recordings finalize cleanly, save in their true audio format, and play back anywhere.

On-device transcription

Whisper runs locally to turn memos into text you can search and drop into notes. Audio never leaves your device to be transcribed.

Your music library

Import your own tracks and play them where your work lives. Your files, not a streaming catalog.

A real two-deck mixer

Load decks A and B, shape each with three-band EQ, and blend on an equal-power crossfader. A house party in your workspace.

Podcasts

Follow shows through Discover subscriptions and play episodes right in the app, beside everything else.

Beside your notes

A memo is a file like any other: tag it, file it, link it, and let its transcript live next to the meeting notes it belongs to.

How blackbear compares

vs Apple Voice Memos

blackbear works on every platform, transcribes on your device, and syncs end-to-end encrypted. Memos live beside your notes, not in a silo.

vs Otter.ai

Transcription happens on your machine, not on a server. No upload, no account, and nothing retained by anyone but you.

vs djay

blackbear’s mixer lives where your music already is. Two decks, EQ, and a crossfader without a separate rig.

Press record

Voice memos, transcription, music, and mixing in your private workspace. Free. Private. Yours.
