FAQ
Is there a free alternative to Fathom?
Yes. Typort records your meetings on your computer and, by default, turns them into a transcript there, for free, with no limit on length. No bot joins the call, on Windows or Mac. AI notes are optional: they run on Typort's servers and are free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
Does Fathom work without a bot on Windows?
Not yet for most people. Fathom's help center says its bot-free recording is Mac only, and that on Windows it is "in a limited Microsoft Teams alpha".
Does Fathom train on my calls?
Fathom says its AI providers may not train on your data, and that Fathom "uses de-identified customer data to improve the accuracy of our proprietary AI models". You can opt out in settings.
Who owns Fathom?
Superhuman, formerly Grammarly, announced on 14 September 2026 that it had acquired Fathom.
Does Typort work on a Mac?
Yes. Apple silicon Macs (M1 or later) with macOS 14.4 or later. On a Mac, meetings record your microphone for now, so the transcript is your side of the call.
