Export and auto-save
Where meeting files live on your Mac, how Markdown auto-save works, and how to export a meeting as a PDF or copy it elsewhere.
In closed beta
Meeting Notes is in closed beta and not yet available to everyone. This article describes how it works.
Every meeting saves automatically as a Markdown file on your Mac. You can also export a PDF, or copy the transcript or summary to the clipboard.
Markdown auto-save
Auto-save is on by default. Each meeting becomes one .md file in ~/Documents/Epilude Meeting Notes, named with the meeting's date, time, and title. The file updates when you edit or rename the meeting, and deleting a meeting deletes its file.
Changes are written a few seconds after you finish editing, so a just-made edit can take a moment to appear in the file.
Choose a different folder
Pick any folder in Settings → Meeting Notes. If the folder later becomes unavailable, for example on a disconnected drive, Epilude shows the failure and offers Retry. It never falls back to another folder silently.
Manual export
From a meeting's detail view you can:
- Export to Markdown: save a copy anywhere
- Export to PDF: for sharing a document
- Copy transcript and Copy summary: put either on the clipboard, ready to paste into Slack, Notion, or an email
Audio recordings
Epilude does not keep meeting audio unless you ask it to. Turn on Save audio recordings in Settings → Meeting Notes to store the audio files with each meeting. Saved audio is deleted together with its meeting.
Troubleshooting
- The Markdown file is not in the folder? Check that the custom folder still exists and is reachable, then use Retry in Settings.
- An edit is not in the file yet? Saves are delayed by a few seconds. Wait a moment or make another change.
