Taking Notes
Notifications
How Ringo alerts you when a meeting is detected and when AI-generated content is ready.
Ringo uses two types of notifications: a floating popup when a meeting is detected, and system notifications for AI-generated content.
Meeting detected popup
When Ringo detects that another app is using your microphone, a small floating window appears in the corner of your screen.
- Shows the name of the app that triggered detection (e.g. Zoom, Teams, Google Meet)
- Click Take Notes to start recording immediately
- Dismiss it if you don't want to record that session
If the detected call starts within 15 minutes of a scheduled calendar event, the popup shows the event name.
System notifications
Ringo sends a system notification when AI-generated content is ready:
- Meeting Briefing Ready — a pre-meeting briefing has been prepared before your next event
- Weekly Digest Ready — your weekly summary is ready to review
- Follow-up Detected — a follow-up task or action item was identified from a recent meeting
Click any notification to open Ringo and view the content.
If notifications aren't appearing
macOS controls notification permissions per app. If Ringo notifications aren't showing:
