Support
Email support@aftersaid.app. Say which macOS and Aftersaid version you have (Aftersaid › About Aftersaid), what you did, and what you saw. If it helps, export a bug report in Settings › Diagnostics (Export Bug Report…) and attach it; it is a file you can read first, and nothing is sent unless you send it.
Quick answers
macOS asked me for microphone and “system audio recording” permission.
Both are macOS’s own prompts, once each; recording the sound playing on your Mac needs the second. Change them later in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
The first launch took a while.
On first launch Aftersaid prepares its built-in speech models for your Mac (“Preparing models”). It happens once and can take a minute or two; after that, transcription is quick.
Live captions and the transcript don’t match.
By design: captions use a fast model as you speak; the saved transcript is a separate full pass.
Which languages?
About 100 for transcription, detected per recording with an override. Translation of captions: English, 中文, Español; macOS downloads the pack and asks first.
How do I sync to my other Mac?
Settings › Sync › Sync with iCloud, on each Mac, signed in to the same iCloud account. Transcripts and details sync; recordings and documents only after you also say yes to “Sync audio and documents” on that Mac. A file over 260 MB stays where it is.
A recording from my other Mac has no audio here.
That Mac is not uploading (it answered “Not Now” or “Sync Text Only”, or its “Sync audio and documents” switch is off), the file is over 260 MB, or it has not finished uploading. Audio arrives once it is in iCloud and you open the recording.
I deleted something by mistake.
The Trash keeps it for 30 days; Restore puts it back, on every Mac if sync is on.
Can my AI assistant read my library?
Settings › MCP: turn it on, create a token, paste the snippet into Claude Desktop or Claude Code. It works only on this Mac.
Where are my files? Can I get them out?
In the app’s own folder on your Mac, and in your iCloud if sync is on; export a transcript as Markdown from the session. Erasing a recording removes it from iCloud too.
Titles aren’t appearing.
Titles from content need macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence turned on; otherwise a recording shows its date and time.
Is there an iPhone app?
Not today. Aftersaid is a Mac app.
