If you're writing it down in a note, it's probably important. The thing is, getting the important stuff is often too hard. Your notes should already know about your meetings and events. And, if you're taking notes in a meeting, you're probably leaving with action steps. Meetings shouldn’t end in scattered notes and forgotten follow-ups. Contextly turns what you capture into what you do—right on your Mac.
Contextly connects your notes to your calendar so every thought lives in context. Record a meeting (or drop in an audio file), and Contextly transcribes it on device, summarizes the conversation, and generates clear action steps you can actually use.
Then, send those action steps to your preferred task manager as to-dos with the click of a button. Connect Things 3, Reminders, Omnifocus, or Todoist, and turn your meeting notes into action without juggling multiple apps.
Instead of revisiting notes later, you leave every meeting with decisions, tasks, and momentum.
What you can do with Contextly:
Capture notes in context
Link notes to calendar events automatically so you always know when, where, and why something was written.
Record and transcribe meetings
Use built-in recording or import audio. Transcription runs on your Mac for speed and privacy.
Summarize instantly
Get clean, readable summaries that highlight what matters—no manual cleanup required.
Turn conversations into action
Contextly generates actionable next steps from your notes. Review, edit, and send them where you work.
Sync with your task manager
Send tasks to Things, OmniFocus, Todoist, or Apple Reminders.

Clean interface. Intuitive to use. Appreciate the appearance/color options and ability to hide the calendar. Grateful that iCloud sync is baked in. Decently buggy on my iPad, but it’s a brand new app. Solid on my iPhone. Even available on AVP, which I appreciate!!! ❤️🩵💛 I love the easy pdf export on the Mac, the ability to have a note take up the full window and get rid of all the other visual noise, and the ability to customize font size. A one week free trail of the pro capabilities might be useful, but $5/mo is pretty reasonable, so I’ll give it a go for a month and if I like it, I’ll do the annual subscription.

I really like this. It’s simple, uncluttered. 2 things I think would convince me to spring for the pro plan. 1. A lot of my tasks throughout the day are trigged by emails. It would be nice to incorporate emails somehow for reference. 2. I’m in a ton of meetings, but they’re all on Zoom. This doesn’t integrate with audio properly to transcribe those correctly. I’m using Notion but it’s overkill. I’d love to use this.
I am liking it, for the most part

Ok, I’m giving this a solid try, mostly for having a calendar and notes in one app. Thank you for having a dark mode!Jason, I’m sure you will correct me if I’m wrong, but when you are in the calendar, aren’t the left and right arrows supposed to move back and forth between the months. It would also be great to have a long press action to change month and year. It would also be cool if it could realize that I’m landing and leaving from a city, to indicate that I’m away during the duration of the trip. Ok, I’m changing this rating from 4 to 5 stars because you made the app!Chris
Love the simplicity!

I am in meetings for about 50% of job, so the ability to take notes associated directly with my calendar entry is huge. One suggestion, is to have RTF tools available for those who don’t know Markdown. I know it, but it’s not like muscle memory to me, so having another option for formatting would be nice.

Thanks for using Contextly! So the app does have rich text formatting options in addition to Markdown. Both the Mac and iPhone have the option if you select the formatting button (Aa).
Contextly 2.0 is the biggest update yet, making it easier to ask, record, summarize, and carry your notes across devices — with privacy built in.
Apple Intelligence powers the biggest new experiences. Siri features require iOS 27 / macOS 27, while Ask Contextly and on-device summaries require iOS 26 / macOS 26 on Apple silicon with Apple Intelligence enabled. Siri reads an on-device index rather than sending your notes to Siri servers, and longer requests use Apple’s Private Cloud Compute only when needed on the 27 releases.
• Ask Siri about your notes. Ask questions and Siri finds answers from Contextly, shows the source note, and can create, rename, pin, or move notes by voice.
• Ask Contextly is here. Ask in plain language and get grounded answers with citations to the exact notes, plus follow-up questions that keep context on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
• Long meetings, fully transcribed. Recordings no longer stop after a minute; on iPhone, transcription continues with the phone locked, with a live timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Smarter summaries and action items. Summaries run on-device first; on iOS 27 / macOS 27, longer notes can use Private Cloud Compute instead of failing, with clearer status messages.
• Contextly in Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Handoff. Find, create, open, and summarize notes from Shortcuts, search them in Spotlight, and pick up a note between Mac and iPhone.
• More reliable, better-formatted notes. Notes keep their size and style across devices, pasted Markdown becomes real formatting on Mac, offline edits are protected, deletions go to Recently Deleted, and attachments sync through iCloud.
