Both sides of the conversation. Ready before you speak.
Lozenge prepares your lines and their questions together. Then the prompter listens and follows your voice through the script, so you keep pace without watching a clock. In a window the room cannot see.
macOS 14 Sonoma and later. Apple silicon and Intel. Free while it is in early release.
Present in the room. Invisible to it.
Zoom, Meet, and a Slack huddle all capture the desktop the same way, and Lozenge sits outside that capture by default. Verify it yourself in ninety seconds. Share your screen, then join the call from your phone and look.
- 01
The window opts out
Every presenter window sets sharingType to none. macOS then leaves it out of a full desktop or full screen capture.
- 02
Everything else is still shared
Your editor, your browser, your deck. The share looks exactly as it should. One window is simply not in it.
- 03
You can lift it on purpose
Turn capture back on to record the app itself. While it is on, an eye badge sits in the sidebar, because the way that setting hurts you is by being on when you had forgotten.
A notetaker starts when you stop talking.
Lozenge covers the hour on either side of that, and the part in the middle where you are the one speaking.
- 01Before you speak
Both sides, prepared together.
Most tools prepare your half or theirs. Lozenge does both in one session.
- Answer a template's setup questions and it writes the questions you will ask, as sections you can tick off.
- Attach the job description and the resume, or the brief, and the questions are written against those documents.
- Import a deck and get a talk track per slide, with the click cues and the transitions in the spoken prose.
- 02While you speak
The prompter follows your voice.
This is the part a notetaker cannot help with, because it happens while you are still talking.
- Listening Sync matches what you just said against the script and moves the beat when you reach it. Not a timer, not a scroll speed you have to guess.
- It waits for a real match plus a short dwell before it advances, so a paraphrase does not throw it and a pause does not race ahead.
- Say next slide to jump early. The same key moves a paired Google Slides deck.
- Their side runs at once: live transcript, and a card with talking points when a question lands.
- 03After you speak
Leave with a file, not a promise.
Nothing to log back into, because there was never an account.
- Save the transcript as markdown, or export a bundle with research, bookmarks, and settings.
- Copy the questions out as a task list, so what you covered survives the paste into your notes.
- It is all on your disk already. No sync, no upload, nothing of yours on a server of ours.
A reading surface built for a room that is watching you.
Everything here exists to keep your eyes up and the window unremarkable. You are performing, not operating software.
Fade it to almost nothing
Chrome and script dim on separate sliders. Ghost shell drops the decoration toward invisible and keeps the words. The controls never fade past clickable, so you can always get back.
A second screen only you read
The Confidence Monitor is a separate window with the current beat, what is left, the next one, a slide preview, and the last answer you asked for. It is excluded from capture too.
Mirror it for glass
Flip the script for a beam splitter or a hood, the same as a studio prompter. Nudge the speed, jump a beat, resize the type, all from the keyboard.
Their half of the conversation, captured without a bot in the room.
Nothing dials in and nothing announces itself. The transcription runs on your Mac, from your Mac's own audio.
On device unless you choose otherwise
Apple Speech supplies the words, a local model supplies the speaker labels. Nothing leaves the machine on the default setting. A cloud engine is an explicit switch with your own key.
Templates that know the room
Sixteen ship with it, from a recruiting screen to an incident postmortem. Each one carries its own system prompt, research hint, and question outline.
Star the moment it happens
Bookmark a timestamp with a note while you are still listening. It rides along in the export, so the thing you wanted to remember is findable later.
Anyone who has to be good at a conversation on a schedule.
Sales and solutions engineers
A live product demo where the click path and the sentence have to land together.
Recruiters and hiring managers
A screening call where the questions came from the job description and the resume you attached this morning.
Managers running 1:1s and reviews
A conversation you wrote down beforehand because you meant to say it exactly once, and well.
Anyone briefing a room
An enablement session, a QBR, a postmortem, a customer discovery call. Write the track once and read it clean every time.
The short version. It stays on your Mac.
Lozenge is a tool for the person doing the talking. It is not a supervisor, a scorecard, or a way to watch somebody else work. The long version is in the privacy policy, and it says the same thing at greater length.
- There is no Lozenge account
- You do not sign up. The app has no server of ours to talk to, so there is nothing of yours sitting in it.
- Your files stay your files
- Sessions, transcripts, and templates are written to disk where you put them. Nothing is uploaded for safekeeping and nothing syncs.
- Transcription runs on device by default
- Apple Speech and a local speaker model do the work. Choosing a cloud engine is an explicit setting, not the default.
- You bring your own model key
- Research and Ask call the provider you configured with the key you supplied. Keys live in the macOS Keychain. They are never written to preferences and never logged.
- The mic runs only during a session
- The app opens at rest. Nothing listens and nothing serves a port until you start a session. Stop puts it back.
- Tell people you are taking notes
- Lozenge is a notetaking tool for the person in the conversation. Recording and transcription law varies by state and country. Consent is your call to make, and worth making out loud.
