Every call recorded.
No bot.

Donna is a Mac menu-bar assistant for meetings. She opens every call on time in the right app, records it locally - including ad-hoc calls that were never on your calendar - and writes an on-device transcript labeled by speaker. No bot joins the room and nothing is uploaded.

Yes - that is the point of Donna. She captures your mic and the call audio straight from your Mac, so nothing appears in the participant list and no one gets a "recording bot has joined" notice. It works in Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack huddles, FaceTime, Discord and Webex.

Never. Donna records from your Mac - your mic and the call audio - the moment she detects a call in Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack, FaceTime, Discord, Webex, and more. Nothing joins the room, and she reminds you to get consent where it's required.

Donna tells voices apart on-device and matches them to the people on the invite. Name a voice once and she recognizes it in every future meeting - and relabels past transcripts too. Corrections you make teach her.

Yes, automatically. Once the transcript settles after a call, Donna writes the summary on her own - what the meeting was about, the key points, the decisions, and every action item with its owner - using a local model, right on your Mac. Rename a speaker and she rewrites it to credit the right people.

Yes. One click turns the summary into a follow-up email - thanks, decisions, action items with owners - and opens it addressed to everyone on the invite, from the account the meeting was on: Gmail for Google Calendar meetings, otherwise your default mail app. Read it over and hit send. Drafting uses Apple's on-device model, so it needs macOS 26.

Yes. Open any recording and ask - "what did we decide on pricing?", "what did Priya promise?" - and Donna answers from that meeting's transcript, on-device.

A private AI you can ask anything, running right on your Mac. Attach Excel, Word, PowerPoint or PDF files and Donna reads and edits them on-device - translate a whole workbook, redact a PDF - and hands back a file in the same format. Want a bigger model? You can switch a chat to Claude.

On your Mac, full stop. Recording, transcription (Whisper), speaker matching, and summaries all run on-device - audio and transcripts never leave your machine. You can auto-delete old audio on a schedule you pick.

Google Calendar and Apple Calendar (any ICS feed) today - including multiple accounts at once. Outlook and more are on the roadmap.

Donna reads the conferencing link on each event and launches it in the right app - and the right browser profile - at start time. You get a nudge five minutes ahead with Join and Snooze, and you can turn auto-open off entirely.

Everything around your calendar - auto-open, next-up, notifications, commands, reminders - is free forever. Recording, transcripts, and speaker identification require Donna Pro.

A Mac on macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. Live in-call captions use Apple's newest on-device speech engine (macOS 26); on earlier versions your full transcript is ready right after the call.

No. Donna reads your calendar, never your inbox. The only time she touches mail is when you ask for a follow-up: she opens a pre-filled draft in Gmail or your mail app, and you decide whether to send it. Inbox sorting and auto-reply are coming, and they'll be strictly opt-in when they arrive.

That's not Donna - she never touches your input volume. When a Chrome tab is using your mic (a Meet call, a Slack huddle), Chrome's automatic gain control moves the macOS input slider on its own. To stop Chrome from ever touching the slider: open chrome://flags, search "input volume", set "Allow WebRTC to adjust the input volume" to Disabled, and relaunch Chrome. (If the flag isn't there in your Chrome version, the only reliable fix is revoking mic access for sites that don't need it at chrome://settings/content/microphone.)
