Respect first, then the difference.
Fireflies is one of the most capable meeting note-takers there is. Its bot joins your calls, transcribes them, writes AI summaries, and files everything into a searchable, shareable workspace with CRM integrations. For teams that live in that workflow, it genuinely delivers.

Where Enzo is different
Unlimited free voice typing
Speak into the Mac apps you already use. Starter has no word limit or expiry, and keeps your recordings, transcripts, playback, search, and tags.
Help throughout your day
Ask a question, attach a document, use your current screen, or draft a follow-up. Local AI is included in Pro.
Meetings you can revisit
Pro records meeting audio on your Mac without a bot. Keep the transcript with separate speaker labels, ask about it, or create a summary.
Recall is your choice
Opt in to keep permitted work context. Today’s timeline and earlier-day overviews are free. Pro adds full retained context, search, and daily briefs.
Local by default
Transcription and Recall collection run on your Mac. Local AI works offline after setup. Optional cloud answers send selected text to the provider you enable.
Pro for $39 once
Meetings and local AI for one active Mac, transferable, with future updates included. Try Pro for 10 days with intentional Pro use. Optional cloud provider charges are separate.
The transcript, without the bot.
Enzo records from your Mac and separates the speakers without joining the call.

What Fireflies does better
Team workspace and integrations
Shared meeting libraries, channels, comments, and CRM integrations like Salesforce and HubSpot. Fireflies is built for a team operating on meetings together; Enzo is built for your Mac.
Cross-meeting AI and team workflows
Fireflies can answer across calls and feed a shared workspace with action items and integrations. Enzo keeps the verbatim record on your Mac and finds relevant moments across saved recordings and retained Recall; its local MCP server also lets external AI tools work with transcript history.
Works from anything
Phone, web, Windows. Enzo is Mac-only by design.
If your whole team runs on shared AI meeting notes, Fireflies earns its seats, honestly. If you want your own meetings transcribed accurately, privately, on your own machine, with no meter running, that's what I built Enzo for.
Questions
What stays free in Enzo?
Unlimited voice typing, saved recordings and transcripts, playback, search, and tags across all saved days. Live Solo text is free with its optional component. Recall is opt-in and includes today’s full timeline and earlier-day overviews. Starter has no word limit or expiry.
What does Pro add?
Pro includes meetings with speaker identification, local AI for recordings, documents, your current screen, and Recall, plus summaries, rewritten notes, email drafts, and daily briefs. It adds full retained Recall history and context search. Pro is $39 once for one active Mac, transferable, with future updates included. Optional cloud provider billing is separate.
When does the Pro trial start?
The 10-day trial starts with intentional use of a Pro feature. Setup and model downloads do not count. No card or account is needed. Voice typing stays free afterward, and saved recordings and generated results remain readable.
What stays on my Mac, and what can use the internet?
Transcription, speaker recognition, and Recall collection run on your Mac. Ask uses Local by default. If you choose DeepSeek Flash with your own API key, your question, recent conversation, and selected text context go directly to DeepSeek. That text can include excerpts from recordings, Recall, documents, and your screen. Raw audio, files, screenshots, and images are not uploaded by that request. Optional web research sends a public query directly to a search provider and retrieves selected sources. License checks, downloads, updates, and optional analytics also use the internet.
How is recording history different from Recall?
Saved recordings stay accessible in Speak across all saved days, including on Starter. Recall is a separate, optional timeline of permitted work context. Starter shows today’s full timeline and earlier-day overviews; Pro adds detailed retained history, context search, and AI. Recall retention is adjustable on every plan and defaults to 30 days.
