GorpTell people you’re recording.
Recording laws vary. Some places require everyone’s consent before a conversation is recorded; others require only one person’s. The rules can also depend on where each participant is.
Say it at the start
The simplest habit is to say you’re recording when the call begins, or paste a short note into the call chat. In a meeting, choose Copy disclosure in the consent menu (or from Gorp’s menu bar icon while recording) and paste it into the chat.
Keep a record of what happened
The consent menu in each meeting lets you note what happened: disclosed, verbal consent, or an objection, with an optional note. Mark consent moment flags the point in the recording where you asked, so you can replay it later.
If someone objects
You can delete the other participants’ audio and keep your own microphone track and notes, or discard the whole recording. Gorp records your microphone and the call audio as separate tracks, which is what makes removing only their side possible.
What Gorp never does
Gorp records only when you press Start, and it has no hidden recording mode. Recordings stay on your Mac unless you choose a cloud transcription service or export them. See the privacy policy for exactly what can leave your Mac.
Not legal advice
