Duto captures highlighted text from any macOS app and converts it into notes with a link back to the source. It transcribes local microphone and system audio using macOS on-device speech models and stores every note in a local SQLite database. The app requires no account, sync, or telemetry and is sold as a one-time purchase for macOS.
