Candidate
I built the scorecard first, then captured notes during each screen so the final debrief stayed evidence based.

We needed local capture because cloud upload was not acceptable for candidate calls and internal interviews.

Why local matters
Some conversations should never leave the room.
Recruiting, research, intake, and internal interview workflows often break the moment audio must be uploaded somewhere else. Recapto keeps the transcription workflow on your Mac so privacy is part of the product, not a policy exception.
Control the recording path
Audio is handled locally instead of being routed through a third-party transcription service.
Reduce review friction
Local-first tooling is easier to justify when candidate, client, or internal conversations are sensitive.
Stay useful in the moment
Recapto is built to support note taking during the conversation, not to impersonate an all-purpose AI assistant afterward.
Who it is for
Made for people who cannot trade privacy for convenience.
Interviewers
Capture stronger evidence during candidate interviews without sending raw audio off-device.
Recruiters
Keep screening calls searchable and exportable while respecting stricter data-handling expectations.
Privacy-sensitive note takers
Use local transcription for research interviews, intake calls, and other conversations where cloud upload is the wrong default.
What you get in beta
A direct, useful early release instead of a bloated waitlist.
Beta access is for people who already know they need local-first transcription. The goal is to learn from real workflows, tighten the product, and keep the feedback loop short.
Live local transcription on macOS
Use Recapto during privacy-sensitive conversations without routing audio through a cloud transcription step.
Searchable notes and transcripts
Find key moments quickly after the interview instead of rebuilding context from memory.
Exportable output
Move transcripts into your own hiring, research, or documentation workflow when the conversation is done.
Direct founder feedback loop
Early users help shape what becomes durable, useful, and privacy-first enough to keep.
Founders access pricing
79 EUR lifetime for the first 20 users.
Founders access is for early users who already know a local-first workflow matters. Every request is reviewed before we invite someone in, because the goal is qualified usage and clear feedback, not top-of-funnel volume.
