Built for the back row

Stop fighting for the front row. We'll take the notes.

Show up, hit record, and actually relax. LectureSync turns any class into clean, exam-ready study notes, automatically. No scrambling, no missed slides, no "can I copy your notes?" texts.

Sorted by class

From the back row to ready-to-study notes.

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 nothing gets uploaded anywhere. Great for when the Wi-Fi drops or the class is yours alone.

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.

Recording a live lecture from your mic or screen audio, with a running timer.

Hit record. Forget about it.

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.

Stop recording. Get your notes.

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
Private by design

Your lectures are nobody's business but yours.

Your lectures aren't training data for some AI company. We don't run servers, we never see your recordings or notes, and there's no account, no ads, and nothing sold. Turn on your Mac's built-in option and everything stays on your laptop, full stop. Prefer an outside AI service? Only then does anything leave your Mac, and only to the one you picked.

No account to create · No trackers or ads in the app · Runs entirely on your Mac

LectureSync settings showing on-device transcription and notes, with the labels 'Audio never leaves your Mac' and 'Notes are generated on your Mac'.

Turn on your Mac's built-in option and nothing ever leaves your laptop.

Your Mac or your AI. Your notes, your way.

Let your Mac handle everything for free, 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 →

Set it up once, then just hit record.

A couple of minutes of one-time setup, then every class is just the record button.
