Cal.com, now on your Mac.
Cal Desktop takes notes when a call starts, types what you say into any app and keeps your next meeting in the menu bar. Your calendar comes along, and transcription can run right on your Mac.
For macOS 13 and later. Sign in with your Cal.com account.
A new app, and the web app you know.
If you wanted Cal.com as an app, now you have one. Nothing leaves the web app: everything you do in Cal.com today stays there, and the calendar works in both.
Your week, one click from the call.
Cal.com bookings sit beside the Google and Outlook calendars you connected, in one week. Open a meeting and Join + Start joins the call and starts the notes together.
- Bookings, Google and Outlook in one week
- Join the call and start notes in one click
- The same calendar in the Cal.com web app
Notes start when the call does.
Cal Desktop notices a call starting and offers to take notes. No bot joins. When you hang up, the summary is waiting with what was decided and who does what next.
- Title and attendees from your calendar
- Your lines marked You, everyone else's Them
- A summary with action items when the call ends

Your Mac does the listening.
Parakeet transcribes on your Mac, even with no connection; online, ElevenLabs can do it instead. Either way, meeting audio is held in memory while it's transcribed and never written to disk.
Transcription on your Mac
Parakeet runs on your Mac and works offline.
Audio never saved
Meeting audio stays in memory and never reaches the disk.
No bot in the call
Cal Desktop listens through your Mac, so nobody new joins the meeting.
Stats without the words
Leaderboards share word counts and durations, never what was said.
Send the meeting on.
When the call ends, the follow-up is half written.
Gmail drafts
Drafts the follow-up to everyone who was there. It waits in Gmail until you send it.
Send to Notion
Puts the summary and your notes in the Notion database you pick.
