Cohearo

Download Cohearo

Free to download with a Cohearo account. Your recordings stay on your device.

First run

Three steps to your first transcript

Downloads live behind a free account now, so we can issue your build securely and keep you updated. That's the only extra step.

1

Create a free account

No card, ever, for Free Personal. Your account is what issues the signed download link for your system.

2

Download from your dashboard

Sign in and grab the right build for your computer. It installs like any other desktop app.

3

Press record

Grant microphone access — and, on macOS, screen recording, which is how the OS exposes system audio — then start a call, or just talk.

Choose your platform

macOS

Fully supported

Signed and notarized. Grant microphone and screen-recording permission on first launch — screen recording is how macOS exposes system audio.

Windows

Fully supported

Code-signed installer, or get it from the Microsoft Store.

Linux

Fully supported

.deb for Debian and Ubuntu, AppImage for everything else. PipeWire or PulseAudio for system audio capture.

Android & iOS

Early access

Recording works; background capture and diarization are not yet at desktop quality, and we'd rather say so than ship it as finished. Create your account and we'll let you know when a build is ready.

Cohearo transcribes on your device. Recordings are never uploaded to our servers.

Requirements

System requirements

Transcription runs locally, so the work happens on your processor. It is designed for ordinary laptops, not workstations.

macOS
Fully supported

Apple Silicon and Intel — a universal build for both.

Windows
Fully supported

Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit. Also available from the Microsoft Store.

Linux
Fully supported

x64, glibc 2.38 or newer, via .deb or AppImage (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04+, Debian 13+, Fedora 40+). Older distributions can't start the app.

Android & iOS
Early access

Mobile recording is in early access with reduced reliability versus desktop. Create your account to be notified.
