Hark is now Recount AI Notetaker

Our meeting recorder Hark has a new name: Recount AI Notetaker. Same app, same account, same price, and your meetings stay where they are. Here's why we changed it.

Hark, our desktop meeting recorder and transcriber, is now called Recount AI Notetaker, or Recount for short.

Only the name has changed:

  • Same app. It still records your meetings on your own computer, transcribes them there and tells the speakers apart.
  • Same account. Sign in with the same email. Your subscription, if you have one, carries on as before.
  • Same price. The free plan stays free, and Recount Pro is still $12/month.
  • Nothing to do. Existing installs update themselves to Recount and keep all your meetings, notes and speaker names.

Why the change? The name Hark is also used by another, much larger AI company. Sharing a name with them made us hard to find and easy to confuse with them, so we picked one that is ours alone.

Old links to Hark pages on this site go to the matching Recount pages. If you want the full story of what the app does, start with introducing Recount, or download Recount for Windows, Mac or Linux.
