What it does

Earmark auto-saves a markdown file to your device when each meeting ends. This is enabled by default and works for both standard and temporary meetings. The default save location is:
You can change the save location in settings. Point Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor or your local AI agent of choice at the folder and try prompts like:
  • What meetings did I have this week?
  • Summarize my last meeting and extract action items.
  • I’m about to start a 1:1 with Sam — what should I remember from our previous meetings?
  • What decisions were made in the product sync on Monday?
  • Are there any open questions or unresolved threads from this week’s meetings?
If the meeting title changes after the file is written (for example, a system-generated title arrives), Earmark rewrites the file automatically.
This is a desktop-only feature. It requires the Earmark Mac or Windows app version 1.4.1 or later.
