The Mac note taking app that organizes itself.
Snow is the voice notes app and voice recorder for Mac. Press a hotkey, speak the thought, and Snow saves it as a transcribed, tagged, searchable note — so you keep moving and find it later.

Speech to text on Mac, voice recording, and AI tags — in one app
A voice recorder and AI note-taker built around a global hotkey. Snow doesn't replace your typing — it captures the thoughts you'd lose between tasks.
Native on Apple Silicon
Snow runs natively on M1, M2, M3, and M4. No Rosetta, no lag — instant capture from the menu bar.
Voice recorder for Mac you'll actually keep
Record meetings, walks, calls, shower-thoughts. Snow transcribes and tags every recording so you can find it three weeks later.
Speech to text, saved as a searchable note
Press the global hotkey, speak the thought, move on. Snow transcribes, titles, tags, and stores the note so you can find it three weeks later.
Clean transcripts, ready to read
Snow turns your raw recording into structured prose with punctuation and paragraphs — plus a summary and key points. No cleanup work for you.
Search everything you said
Full-text + voice search across every recording. Ask 'what did Sarah say about Q1' and Snow finds it.
Encrypted at rest, never trained on
Your recordings stay yours. Snow never uses your audio or text to train AI models.

What Mac users ask before installing.
Does Snow run natively on Apple Silicon?
Yes. Snow ships as a universal binary. On M1, M2, M3, and M4 it runs natively — no Rosetta, no slowdown.
Will it work on my Intel Mac?
Yes. Snow supports Intel Macs running macOS 13 or later. Same features, no compromise.
Does Snow replace Apple's built-in dictation?
No — Snow isn't a dictation tool. Apple's dictation types into the app you're using; Snow doesn't paste into your cursor. Snow records the thought, transcribes it, and saves it as a structured note you can search and revisit later. Different category, different job.
Does Snow work alongside Apple Notes?
Yes — Snow doesn't replace Apple Notes, it sits next to it. Use Apple Notes for what you want to keep forever; use Snow to capture the half-formed thoughts that never make it there.
Will it work on macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe?
Yes. Snow runs on macOS 13 and every later version, including the current macOS release.
Is the desktop app code-signed?
Code signing is in progress. Today, macOS may show a Gatekeeper warning on first launch — bypass it via System Settings → Privacy & Security. Once we're notarized this goes away.
