Eavesy
Getting started

Installing the Mac app

Download, install, and grant the permissions Eavesy needs to capture your screen and audio.

The Mac app is where Eavesy does its best work — capturing your screen and the audio your Mac plays, alongside your microphone, with no length limit and files written straight to your disk.

Requirements

  • macOS 13 (Ventura) or later
  • Apple silicon or Intel
  • ~150 MB of disk space, plus room for your recordings

Install in three steps

  1. Download the app from eavesy.com/download/mac.
  2. Open the .dmg and drag Eavesy into your Applications folder.
  3. Launch it from Applications (or Spotlight).
First launch

Because the app is distributed outside the App Store, macOS may ask you to confirm the first launch. If you see a Gatekeeper prompt, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and click Open Anyway.

Grant permissions

To capture a full session, Eavesy needs two macOS permissions. It will prompt you the first time you record — or you can grant them ahead of time in System Settings → Privacy & Security:

  • Screen & System Audio Recording — lets Eavesy capture what’s on screen and the audio your Mac is playing (your call’s other side).
  • Microphone — captures your voice.
Your data

Permissions are enforced by macOS. Eavesy only captures while a recording is running, and everything is processed for your session — never used to train models. See Privacy & your data.

Set your save location

Open Settings → Files and choose where sessions are written. Point it at a folder you already sync, or at your Obsidian vault, and each capture lands there automatically as Markdown, JSON, and audio.
