Questions

Does the other side know Toldbird is running?

Toldbird never joins the call and never speaks. The strip uses the macOS setting that keeps a window out of screen capture, so a shared screen shows the call without it. On macOS 15 and later some call apps capture through a newer system path that can include it: check your call app once with a test share, and press ⌥⇧S to hide the strip completely when you want to be sure.

Do I need permission to transcribe a call?

Often, yes. Some states and countries require everyone on a call to agree before it is recorded or transcribed. You are responsible for telling people and getting consent where the law where you and they are requires it.

Is my transcript uploaded?

No. Audio is transcribed on your Mac and the transcript is saved on your Mac. To decide and draft, Pro sends a short excerpt to the language model: the last few lines, your meeting brief and the question. The recording and the full transcript are never sent.

Which call apps work?

Any app on your Mac. Toldbird hears your microphone and the system audio, so a call in a desktop app and a call in the browser sound the same to it.

Does it type or send anything for me?

Never. Copy puts the draft on your clipboard, Book creates the event in your calendar, Note adds a line to the meeting’s notes. What you say is up to you.

What does a founding seat mean?

The first 50 people to reserve are offered checkout first, in the order they reserved, when Toldbird 1.0 ships. Reserving is free and commits you to nothing.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Ask within 14 days of buying the one-time purchase and we refund it in full. Pro can be cancelled at any time and stops at the end of the month you paid for.
