The most compliant
AI recorder in existence.
When the Recorder runs fully locally with your own keys, nothing leaves your device. When you need to collaborate, pair it with BuildBetter — SOC 2, HIPAA, and published AI transparency.
Nothing leaves your device.
The strictest compliance posture available — built in.
Most "secure" AI recorders still ship audio to the cloud. The BB Recorder doesn't have to. Pick local models, and no audio, transcript, metadata, or summary ever leaves your Mac.
Download for MacCloud, with the paperwork.
Enterprise-grade compliance when you need team sharing.
When you upload recordings, they land in BuildBetter's SOC 2 Type II audited, HIPAA-ready infrastructure — the same platform used by top product teams at Brex, Rappi, PostHog, and more.
What "local" actually means here
No network calls, by default
With local models selected, the Recorder makes zero outbound requests for transcription, summarization, or chat. You can verify it with Little Snitch.
Bring your own keys
Use your OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or Deepgram keys. Traffic goes from your Mac directly to your provider — never through us.
No BuildBetter account required
Download, install, and record — no sign-up, no telemetry pipeline, no shadow sync. You stay anonymous.
Files stay on your disk
Pick your recording location. Delete at any time. Nothing is mirrored to the cloud unless you explicitly upload it.
Compliance, documented
SOC 2 Type II
Independent audit covers the security, availability, and confidentiality of BuildBetter's systems.
HIPAA-ready infrastructure
BAA available for customers processing PHI. Encryption at rest and in transit across all services.
AI transparency statement
BuildBetter publishes a public AI transparency policy — what models run where, how data is used, and what's off-limits for training.
Trust portal
Every certification, subprocessor, and policy is posted to trust.buildbetter.ai — available to prospects and customers on demand.
An AI company with a public transparency policy.
BB Recorder is built by BuildBetter — the #1 AI tool for product teams. BuildBetter publishes an AI transparency statement, maintains SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, and operates a public trust portal. That's the same team standing behind the Recorder — whether you use cloud or stay local.
