On-device AI
A real language model runs entirely on your Mac. Drafting a note makes zero network calls.
Informed by past sessions
Notes are written with the client's history in view — recurring themes, the language they use, how they're progressing.
Yours alone
No account, no sync, no telemetry. Your records live in a folder you control and back up yourself.
What it does
Made for the clinical note.
Intake takes a session from rough notes to a signed, exported note. It handles documentation and leaves the rest alone — no scheduling, billing, transcription, or telehealth.
Four formats
SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or freeform — each with its own purpose-built prompt.
Refine by chat
Talk through the note with an on-device assistant before you sign it.
Your voice
Documentation style preferences and starred examples keep notes sounding like you.
Signed history
Each signature is kept as an append-only version — an audit trail you can revisit.
PDF export
Export a single note or a client's full history with clean clinical formatting.
Time Machine ready
Data lives in ~/Documents/Intake and backs up with no special tooling.
How it works
Jot, generate, sign.
Jot
Type rough notes during or after the session — no structure required.
Generate
Pick a format and let the on-device model draft a structured note in seconds.
Sign & export
Edit inline, sign to lock it, and export to PDF when you need a copy.
Privacy
No server ever sees your sessions.
Other AI note tools send what your clients said to someone else's servers. Intake doesn't have servers. The intelligence runs on your machine.
- No account, no cloud storage, no analytics — nothing is transmitted while you work.
- The one exception: the AI model downloads once on first use. After that, note generation is fully offline.
- Encryption is handled by your Mac's FileVault, the same as the rest of your files.
Bring the documentation back in-house.
Download Intake and write your next note without sending a word to the cloud.
