Download ozen

Mac with Apple silicon

M1 or newer · macOS 15 Sequoia or later · about 10 GB free space, mostly speech models

Install

1. Open the downloaded file and drag Ozen onto Applications.
2. Open Ozen from Applications. macOS says it can't check it for malware, because ozen isn't notarized by Apple yet. Click Done, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway next to Ozen, and confirm. You only do this once.
3. Add the tools ozen transcribes with. Open Terminal (press ⌘ Space, type Terminal, press Return) and paste this. It installs Homebrew if you don't have it (it asks for your Mac password; typing shows nothing, that's normal), then uv and ffmpeg.
   command -v brew >/dev/null || /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"; eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" && brew install uv ffmpegCopy
4. An ear appears in the menu bar at the top of your screen: that's ozen.

Updating: download again and drag Ozen onto Applications, replacing the old one. Your recordings, voices and settings stay.

Next: allow ozen to listen, then your first meeting.
