Reline for Windows —
the bot-free AI notepad.
Reline runs as a native Windows app that records your meetings without sending a bot into the call. It captures system audio and your microphone locally, so nothing ever joins your Teams or Zoom meeting.
Free plan, no credit card: 10 hours of transcription a month.

We're aligned on the rollout date — what's the gating risk on the auth flow?
The refresh-token edge case. Once that's covered we can ship to the pilot cohort.
Send me the failure modes before EOD and I'll bake them into the test matrix.
Will do — pairing with the platform team tomorrow morning to align on the schema...
Everything a meeting needs, on Windows
Reline for Windows is the desktop app for people whose calls live in Microsoft Teams and Zoom. It records what you hear and what you say, on your own PC — no notetaker bot requesting to join, and nothing for IT to block.
Bot-free capture — WASAPI loopback records system audio plus your mic locally; no participant is ever added to the call.
Works when bots are blocked — Reline never joins the meeting, so there's nothing for your IT policy to deny.
Records Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex — anything that plays through your speakers.
Speaker-separated transcripts in 60+ languages, auto-detected.
AI summaries next to the kept recording (press play on any transcript line), and chat answers that can cite the note or the exact moment.
Reusable Lenses turn a call into a follow-up email, JIRA tickets, or a BANT breakdown.
A Notion-grade collaborative notepad with folders and RAG chat across every meeting.
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), a native desktop app you download and install.
A Granola alternative for Windows that keeps the audio
Reline records your microphone and the system audio on your PC, so no bot joins the call. The audio stays with the note, so you can press play on any transcript line; Granola's docs say it deletes the audio once transcription finishes. Transcription and AI summaries run in the cloud, and Reline does not claim on-device AI.
Which AI note takers work on Windows?How bot-free capture works on Windows
Reline uses WASAPI loopback — the Windows audio API that lets an app record exactly what your speakers are playing — and mixes it with your microphone, entirely on your PC. It's the same idea as a screen recording: the audio is captured on your machine, so nothing is injected into the meeting and no extra participant appears in the call.
Record Microsoft Teams without a bot
Many organizations block third-party Teams notetaker bots. Reline sidesteps that entirely: it never asks to join the call, so there's no bot for IT to deny. You run your Teams meeting normally and Reline records it locally, and you still get a transcript with speaker separation and an AI summary next to the kept recording.
Honest about what is local and what is cloud
Capture is local on your PC. Transcription, AI summaries, and storage (Cloudflare R2) run in the cloud — Reline does not claim on-device AI. Your audio and transcripts are never used to train third-party models.
Any meeting app, plus in-person
Because Reline records what your computer plays rather than joining a specific platform, it works across Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, and in-person conversations too — anything your PC can play through its speakers. You're not tied to one platform's bot or API.
Multilingual out of the box
Reline transcribes 60+ languages and auto-detects the language of the meeting, so a bilingual or non-English call is captured accurately. Add a workspace or personal glossary for names, acronyms, and product jargon.

Reline for Windows, answered
- Does Reline join my Teams or Zoom call as a bot?
- No. Reline records system audio and your microphone locally on Windows; nothing joins the meeting and no participant is added to the call.
- Does it work if my company blocks meeting bots?
- Yes — because Reline never joins the call, there's no bot for IT to block. It records on your own machine instead.
- Which Windows versions are supported?
- Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Reline is a native desktop app you download and install; there is also a full web app.
- Is my audio processed on my device?
- Capture is local. Transcription, AI summaries, and storage run in the cloud (Cloudflare R2), so Reline doesn't claim on-device AI.
- What languages does it transcribe?
- 60+ languages, auto-detected. You can add a glossary for names and jargon to improve accuracy.
- Do I have to tell people I'm recording?
- Often yes — consent rules vary by jurisdiction. Bot-free removes the visible bot, not your duty to get consent. Tell participants and get agreement before recording.
- Why does Windows show a SmartScreen warning when I install Reline?
- Reline's Windows installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may show a warning: select More info, then Run anyway. The browser version needs no install.
