The killer feature

Record any meeting. Without a bot in the room.

Wave Desktop captures your mic and your computer's system audio at the same time — so it gets both sides of every call without joining as a visible participant.

Bot-based note takers

  • Joins as a visible "Notetaker"
  • Notifies every attendee
  • Awkward in client calls and 1:1s
  • Breaks on tools it doesn't support

Wave Desktop

  • Records silently in the background
  • Invisible to other attendees
  • Works on any meeting platform
  • Also captures phone, in-person, and audio
