Wallflower
Wallflower sits quietly on your Mac or PC while you talk. It writes down everything that is said, including the people on the call, and hands you the summary the moment you stop. Anything you were asked to do, you can pass on with one click.
Free. v0.5.0 · All versions · It updates itself when a new one is out. You bring your own transcription key — more on that at the bottom. Windows warns about an “unknown publisher” the first time, because the installer is not signed yet.
Wallflower listens to your microphone and to the sound coming out of your computer at the same time. So the people on the Zoom, Teams or Meet call get written down too, even while you wear headphones. The words appear as they are spoken.
Highlight anything that was said, type what you want done with it, and send it off — to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or your own assistant. Or keep it where it is: Wallflower marks the line in colour and keeps your note with it.
While you talk, Wallflower watches for the moments where someone asks for something. It waits until the person has finished the thought, then puts a small button next to the line. One click and the task is on its way.
A short recap, the main points, what was decided, and a list of who said they would do what — written in the language the meeting was held in. The recording is kept as well, so nothing is lost if the connection drops.
A lot of people now have their own AI assistant — a Grok bot wired into their calendar, their email, their code. Wallflower is built to talk to it. The button is there from the first launch: tell Wallflower your bot's address, and it becomes the one you press by default.
Highlight what was said, or use the line Wallflower already flagged for you. Then say what should happen, the way you would say it to a colleague.
The sentence and your instruction go straight to your bot. The key that lets it in is kept in the Keychain, where your computer keeps its passwords.
It already knows who you are and can reach your tools. All it needs from the meeting is the request itself, who said it, and a little of what was said around it.

You decide what that message looks like — this is only where it starts. The address has
to be a secure one (https://), or your own computer while you are still
building the bot. And if the message does not get through, Wallflower tells you instead of
pretending it sent.
Wallflower runs on your own machine. The recordings and the text stay there. There is no account to make and no server of ours in the middle — if you want your meetings on your iPhone too, they travel through your own iCloud, and if you would rather they did not, turn it off.
Two things you provide yourself: a key from Soniox, which does the listening, and one from Anthropic if you want the summaries. You pay those two directly, at their prices, and the keys are kept in your Keychain. Then it is: open Wallflower, press record, and forget about it.
