Install Recordstead

Download Recordstead on an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later.

Install it

1. Open the Recordstead download page and choose Download for Mac.
2. Open the disk image and drag Recordstead into Applications.
3. Open Recordstead from Applications.

The setup window

First launch opens Set Up Recordstead. Use Continue to review your Mac’s readiness, what happens after a call, the transfer code, microphone and processing choices; the last step ends with Done. The microphone permission appears when that step asks for it. System Audio Recording is requested during your first actual recording. Your processing trial starts when the first eligible processing job is ready.

Skipping it costs nothing

You can close setup and return later. Home shows A few things left for unfinished steps, and Help ▸ Setup Guide reopens the walkthrough.

Where the app lives

Recordstead waits in the menu bar. It shows a Dock icon only while one of its windows is open. Record your first meeting when you are ready.
