How can we help?

Myna requires four permissions to function:

• Microphone — to hear your voice during meetings.
• Screen Recording — to capture system audio from other participants (no video is ever captured or stored).
• Speech Recognition — to transcribe audio to text using Apple's on-device framework.
• Calendar — to detect and display your upcoming meetings.

You can grant or revoke these at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

AI summaries require Apple Intelligence to be active. To enable it:

• Go to System Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri
• Turn on Apple Intelligence
• Wait for the initial model download to complete (may take a few minutes)

Apple Intelligence requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) running macOS 15.1 or later, with the device language set to English (US). macOS 26 or later is recommended for the best experience with Myna.

Myna reads your macOS Calendar app. Any calendar account you have added to macOS (Google, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange, etc.) will be accessible once you grant Myna calendar permission.

To add calendar accounts, go to System Settings → Internet Accounts and add your account there. Myna will automatically detect meetings with video call links or multiple attendees.

• Confirm Myna has Microphone and Speech Recognition permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
• Check that your Mac's microphone is working in System Settings → Sound → Input.
• Make sure your Mac's language is set to English. Additional language support is coming in a future update.
• Try quitting and relaunching Myna, then starting a new recording.

System audio capture requires the Screen Recording permission. Check that it is granted in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording.

After granting the permission, you may need to quit and relaunch Myna for the change to take effect. Some video call apps (like FaceTime) may suppress audio capture for privacy reasons — this is a macOS-level restriction.

Currently, Myna transcribes in English only. Support for additional languages is on our roadmap and will be added in a future update. Follow us or check the App Store release notes for announcements.

Myna requires a minimum of ~200 words of transcript (roughly 2–3 minutes of natural conversation) before enabling summarization. This ensures the AI has enough content to generate a useful, accurate summary.

Keep recording until there's enough content — you'll see the button appear automatically.

Summary errors are usually caused by one of the following:

• Apple Intelligence not enabled — go to System Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri and turn it on.
• Model not downloaded yet — Apple Intelligence may still be downloading its language model. Give it a few minutes and try again.
• Not enough transcript — ensure you have at least 2–3 minutes of transcribed content.
• Device too warm — on-device AI can be throttled if your Mac is under thermal pressure. Let it cool and try again.

Tap "Try Again" in the error screen after resolving the issue.

No. Myna has no servers. Your audio is processed in memory and immediately discarded. Transcripts and summaries are stored only in the app's local database on your Mac. Nothing is ever transmitted over the internet.

You can delete individual meetings from the Recents screen by right-clicking the meeting and selecting Delete. To delete all data, simply delete the Myna app from your Mac — all locally stored transcripts and summaries are removed with it.
