Use cases

folo does one thing — private, on-device meeting notes on your Mac — but the reason it matters depends on the work. These pages walk through how it fits specific workflows: what it captures, where it keeps your data, and, honestly, where it isn’t the right tool.

• folo for consultants
  Local-first meeting notes for independent consultants: capture every client decision and commitment, choose local processing for sensitive engagements, and turn the call into billable time — no bot required.
• folo for lawyers & legal teams
  On-device meeting notes for legal work: keep client-meeting transcripts on your own Mac instead of a vendor’s cloud, with consent. Not legal advice, and not a guarantee of privilege — an honest look at what on-device changes.
• folo for UX researchers
  Local transcription for user interviews: verbatim quotes with who-said-what, timestamps that jump back to audio, and export for affinity mapping when a local backend is selected.
