From lecture to study notes, automatically

Every lecture becomes notes you can actually study.

Sit in class and soak it in. LectureSync captures every word and turns it into a clean, exam-ready summary, sorted by class. No frantic typing, no notebook full of half-sentences you'll never reread.

Sorted by class

Record the class. Get the study kit.

Record class, get back clean notes, and find them sorted and waiting for you. No more piecing together what you missed or borrowing someone else's blurry photos.

Record any class

In person? Use your mic. Online lecture, recorded talk, or a Zoom call? Capture the audio straight from your Mac. Either way, it's one click.

Runs right on your Mac

Everything can happen on your laptop: no internet needed, and none of it gets uploaded to us. Great for spotty campus Wi-Fi, or lectures you'd rather keep to yourself.

No AI subscription needed

Your Mac can do all the transcribing and note-writing itself, at no extra cost. Or connect an AI service you already use (like OpenAI) for an extra boost. Totally up to you.

Real study notes

Your lecture comes back as a clean summary with the key points pulled out: the stuff you'll actually review before the exam, not a wall of text.

Sorted by class

Every lecture is saved into its own folder for each class, so your notes stay organized all semester without you lifting a finger.

Math & science ready

Equations come out properly formatted, so your calc, chem, and physics notes are actually readable instead of a mess of symbols.

Sitting in a lecture hall? Use your mic. Watching a class online? Grab the audio right off your screen. Then put your phone down and just listen. Even a three-hour seminar is no problem.

  • Record your mic or audio from your screen
  • Handles even the longest lectures
  • Nothing extra to install

Didn't hit record? Drop it in.

Last week's Zoom recording, a lecture video, a podcast, even a rough transcript: drag it onto LectureSync and get the same clean notes. Recorded the class on your iPhone or iPad? Drag the memo out of Voice Memos and the audio and its transcript come along together.

The moment class ends, LectureSync writes down everything that was said and turns it into a tidy summary with the key points front and center. You also get the full word-for-word transcript, in case you want to go back and check something.

  • A short summary plus the full transcript
  • Tell it how you like your notes written
  • Math and science formatting built in

Your finished note, saved in Obsidian and sorted by class.

Saved right where you study.

Your notes don't get stuck inside some app you'll forget about. They save into Obsidian (a free, super-popular notes app) as simple files, sorted into a folder for each class. Search them, highlight them, and study however works for you.

  • Saved as simple files you can always open
  • Automatically sorted into a folder per class
  • Yours to keep, no subscription to read them

Your Mac's notes and study cards, waiting on your phone and your wrist.

Study anywhere

Review on the walk. Quiz on your wrist.

Your Mac still does the work: recording, transcribing, and writing your notes. But now those notes, transcripts, and study cards ride along to your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, so the ten minutes before class actually count.

  • Read your notes and flip through study cards on iPhone and iPad
  • A quick quiz on your Apple Watch, one tap between classes
  • Recorded the class on your phone? Your Mac picks it up and makes the notes.
  • One purchase covers your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
Private by design

No servers. No account. Your lectures stay yours.

Your lectures aren't training data for some AI company. LectureSync has no servers and no account: out of the box the recording, transcribing, and note-writing all happen on your Mac, and we never see any of it. Turn on your Mac's built-in option and the AI runs completely offline. Prefer an outside AI service? That's opt-in, with your own key, and only the provider you picked ever sees your text.

Studying on your phone or watch? Your notes and cards sync through your own private iCloud, the same place your photos and messages already live: Apple's, not ours. Nothing is ever sold, and there are no ads or trackers anywhere.

No servers of ours · No account to create · No ads or trackers

LectureSync's recording settings with an on-device transcription option selected and the label 'Audio never leaves your Mac'.

Choose your Mac's built-in option and recording, transcription, and notes all stay on your laptop.

The AI is free. It's already on your Mac.

Your Mac handles everything on its own, or connect an AI service you already use. Then tell LectureSync exactly how you want your notes to read.

Already run your own local AI like Ollama, LM Studio, or oMLX? Point LectureSync at it and everything still stays on your Mac. See our recommended models →
