Same price as Wispr Flow. But here, what you say and what you hear become to-dos your team can see and videos you can send.

Hours and the trial
Meeting hours
Essential includes 25 hours of meeting notes a month, about 50 half-hour calls. Pro has no cap.
Go over on Essential and recording never stops. If the Lumora kickoff runs past your hours, it’s still recorded; its notes are made when your hours reset or you upgrade.
Dictation and screen videos never count toward your hours.
The 14-day trial
The trial is 14 days of Pro, with 10 hours of meeting notes.
Every Pro feature is on for all 14 days.
Your 14 days
Keeps working
Stops
Kept for you
Saved on your Mac first. Meetings and videos are ordinary files on your Mac: audio, transcript, Markdown notes, MP4.
What leaves your Mac →No. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial of Pro.
Your trial becomes your paid plan, and we remind you on day 10 and day 13 first. If you cancel before then, your to-do list and sync keep working and your meetings, videos and notes stay readable and exportable. Dictation, recording, AI and uploads stop.
Time on calls you record with Meeting Notes: 25 hours a month on Essential (about 50 half-hour calls) and 10 during the trial. Pro has no cap. Dictation and screen videos never count.
Recording never stops. On Essential, notes for the extra calls are made when your hours reset, or when you upgrade to Pro, which has no cap.
Yes, in both plans. Say “Chat,” then ask for a draft, an answer, or what a PDF you drop in says. Essential uses Claude Sonnet and Haiku; Pro adds Opus and Fable.
No. SwitchDesk records your mic and the call’s audio as two tracks on your Mac. It doesn’t announce itself, so tell people you’re recording.
Yes. Move between Essential and Pro, or monthly and annual billing. It’s the same app, so there’s nothing to reinstall, and your meetings, videos and to-dos stay put.
No. SwitchDesk is a Mac app for macOS 14.6 or later. The iPhone app is coming soon to the App Store.
No. Every plan is priced the same for everyone.
