Pricing
One app, two ways to pay for it. Wavenote types what you say. Wavenote+ writes it for you as well: the same dictation, turned into the email, the message or the summary you meant. It includes the app.
Try the whole app for 48 hours first. No card, no account.

Common questions
What do I actually get for the monthly price?
The app types what you said. Wavenote+ writes it for you as well: hold the rewriting key and a rambling thought comes out as the email, the Slack message or the bullet points you meant, in wording you set yourself, and you can set different wording for each app. It also speaks one language and writes another, summarises a meeting note, turns what you said into your to-dos, answers questions about your notes, names the one thing to do today against what you said this quarter is for, and drops the device limit. Everything else on this page is already in the $4.90 app, and it stays yours whether or not you subscribe.
Will it run on my Mac?
If your Mac has an Apple chip and runs macOS 26 or later, yes. Intel Macs are not supported. The first time you pick a language, Wavenote downloads what it needs to hear that language: about 480 MB for English, about 540 MB for Japanese.
What happens if I cancel Wavenote+?
The app stays yours and keeps working. What stops is AI rewriting, translation, meeting summaries, to-dos and planning your day. Dictation, file transcription and custom vocabulary carry on, because they run on your Mac.
Can I buy Wavenote now and subscribe later?
Yes. The $4.90 is not credited against the subscription, so from that point you would be paying the subscription instead.
How many devices does a licence cover?
Wavenote covers 2 devices, in any mix of Macs and iPhones. Wavenote+ covers every device you own. You can release one yourself from Settings, under Licence.
Does anything I say leave my Mac?
Dictation and file transcription make no network call at all, on either price. You can check that by turning your wifi off and carrying on. AI rewriting is the one exception: the finished transcript goes out to be rephrased and comes straight back, and nothing along the way keeps a copy.
What happens if a rewrite fails?
Your raw transcript is inserted instead. Every failure path does that: no network, a timeout, an expired licence.
Can I get a refund?
Within 30 days, for any reason. Write to hello@getwavenote.com and the whole purchase comes back.
