Kalima for desktop.

The desktop app records the sound of any application on your machine, so you can transcribe the meetings, calls, and videos your browser cannot reach. No bot joins the call.

Version 0.9.47

All platforms

Kalima for macOS requires a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer).

Installation help

From download to your first transcript.

  1. 1

    Install

    Open the file you just downloaded and follow the prompts. It takes about a minute.

  2. 2

    Sign in

    Use the account you already use in the browser. Your sessions, projects and settings are waiting.

  3. 3

    Start a session

    Choose what Kalima should listen to, hit record, and the transcript writes itself while people speak.

Meetings in the browser

Add the Kalima extension to Chrome, Edge or Brave, and the desktop app notices when you join Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex, Jitsi or Whereby in a tab. The extension records nothing itself.

Get it in the Chrome Web Store

Everything your browser cannot do.

The desktop app does everything Kalima already does in a browser tab, and then these, which no browser tab can reach.

  • Meeting detection

    Kalima notices when you join a call and offers to record it, or starts on its own.

  • Your computer's audio

    Records what your machine plays, so everyone on the call is transcribed, not only you.

  • Screen recording

    Capture the screen alongside the meeting, saved as a file on your own computer.

  • Picture-in-Picture

    Float the video in a small window that stays on top while you work in other apps.

  • Privacy mode

    Keeps the Kalima window out of screen shares and screenshots, so your transcript never leaks by accident.

  • Tray and shortcuts

    Runs quietly in the background. Start, stop, and mute it from any application.
