How can we help?

Monk is a macOS app where you can save articles, notes, meeting recordings, voice memos, tasks, and tools, all in one searchable place. One home for everything that usually gets scattered across browser tabs, messaging apps, and random documents.

Monk is currently available for macOS. We also offer a Chrome extension that works alongside the macOS app to help you save content from your browser. The extension requires the macOS app to be installed.

Yes. Your content — notes, articles, meetings, tasks — lives on your device, not our servers. We don't track or profile you. Features like transcription and summaries use external AI services. Your data is anonymized and never retained or used for training. Read our full Privacy Policy for details.

Monk can record, transcribe, and summarize your meetings. Recordings are stored on your device. Transcription and summaries use external AI providers. Audio is processed and discarded, never stored or used to train AI models.

Yes. One search box finds everything you've saved: articles, notes, meeting transcripts, voice memos, and tasks. Everything is indexed locally for fast, private searching.

Digests are AI-generated research summaries delivered on a schedule you choose. Pick a topic, choose how often (daily, weekly, or fortnightly), and Monk delivers what's new, compared with what you already know. Every digest is saved automatically, so your collection builds up over time. The free plan includes 1 topic. Paid plans include more.

Yes. Monk uses MCP, an open protocol for connecting AI tools to data. Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, NanoClaw, and any MCP-compatible tool can connect to your knowledge. For web connections, your context travels straight from your Mac through a private tunnel — it's never stored along the way, so keep Monk running for them to work. Each connection gets its own permissions, so you control what each tool can access.

Knowledge Threads are how Monk connects everything you save. Notes link to articles. Meetings connect to tasks. People connect to conversations. You don't organize this. Monk does. It powers search, digests, and the context AI tools receive through MCP integrations.

Most of Monk's features work offline since your data is stored locally. However, certain features like AI-powered transcription, summaries, and saving web content require an internet connection.

You can save articles using the Chrome extension with one click while browsing. The extension captures the full article text and stores it in Monk for distraction-free reading later. You can also copy and paste article links directly into the macOS app.

Currently, Monk is focused on the macOS experience. Sync functionality may be added in future updates based on user feedback.

Monk has a free plan that includes everything: notes, meetings, articles, tasks, digests, and AI integrations. Paid plans expand usage limits like voice hours and digest topics. You can start using everything right away, no credit card needed.

Monk keeps the organizing to a minimum. Instead of making folders and tags by hand, it sorts everything by date and links related items on its own, so you find things by searching rather than remembering where you filed them.

Since your data lives locally on your device, you always have full access to it. Export functionality for standard formats may be added in future updates.

Your data stays on your device even after uninstalling Monk. Reinstalling will pull all your data back automatically. If you'd like to completely remove all data, reach out to us at team@tealmonk.com and we'll assist you.
