Why SwitchDesk exists

Dictation, meeting notes, screen videos and your to-do list, in one Mac app.

Hi, I’m Jason. I spend my days on sales calls for another company.

I was paying for a dictation app, a meeting notetaker, a screen recorder and a to-do list. I still retyped every follow-up from my calls into that list.

So in February 2026 I started with the to-do list, then added the other three, one build at a time. Your voice, turned into work. Hold the Globe key and talk, and the words appear where your cursor is. Record a call, and the notes and suggested to-dos are there when you hang up. Say “add a todo” and it’s filed in your list. Record your screen, and the link is already on your clipboard.

SwitchDesk is new, and there are no logos on this page because we’re just getting started. What I can show you is the work: 265 builds since that first commit, each one dated.

    That window is on another desktop, so your camera won't be in this video. Switch to its desktop first to include it.
