Meeting notes; Voice typing; Desktop actions
Shadow is a Mac application that uses meeting audio, screen context and voice input to run user-selected AI workflows. It can create meeting notes without adding a separate meeting bot and provides keyboard-triggered capture for other tasks. Users can choose built-in skills or supply their own prompts for outputs such as follow-up messages and structured notes. The official site also describes speaker identification, screenshots, Markdown and webhook-related workflows. A free plan covers transcription, audio recording and screenshots, while paid access expands AI features. Recording and screen capture involve other people's information, so users still need appropriate consent and workspace permissions when applying the tool in meetings.
