The Weflow Desktop App
The Weflow desktop app is a lightweight version of the Weflow web app. Its main purpose is to record meetings without a note-taker joining the call. It captures anything happening on your machine, both audio and video.
Installation and Download Links
You can download the desktop app from the Weflow web app, our website, or the Help Center. It is available for:
Mac Apple Silicon: api.getweflow.app/desktop-app/download/mac-arm64
What the desktop app can record
The desktop app records your system audio and microphone, plus video where available. This includes:
Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams meetings (including the video)
Phone calls running through your machine, for example via Aircall or RingCentral
Recordings work exactly as if they were captured by a note-taker. Everything you know from the web app is fully supported:
Field updates
Summaries and chapters
Follow-up emails
Scorecards
You can also view, access, and share recordings, manage your calendar, and use Ask AI directly from the desktop app.
Recording a meeting
Ad-hoc recording: Click the Record meeting button at any time. The app starts recording whatever is currently captured by your system audio and microphone.
Automatic prompt: If you join a Zoom or Google Meet meeting ad hoc, the desktop app sends you a notification asking whether you want to record. You can then opt in manually.
Notifications and meeting settings
The desktop app has dedicated notification settings to remind you about upcoming meetings. You can also choose where meeting join links open: directly in the installed Zoom or Teams app, or in your browser.
Menu bar (macOS)
On macOS, the desktop app adds a menu bar item showing all upcoming meetings for today and tomorrow, including:
A direct join link for each meeting
Attendee status
The event description
This lets you review and join any meeting with one click.
Permissions
Windows: Most permissions are granted automatically. No action needed.
macOS: You need to grant three permissions separately:
Microphone
Screen recording
Accessibility
The app asks for these when you first install and open it. If you skip them, a notification icon in the app reminds you, and you can grant them later either from the desktop app or in your Mac's System Settings.
Recording consent
Consent is not managed through Weflow. You are responsible for obtaining consent from meeting participants. If you are unsure about the consent requirements in your country, please contact your legal team.
