Lecture Desk has moved to https://lecturedesk.github.io. New versions are published at lecturedesk/lecturedesk.github.io. These downloads still work.

Lecture Desk 0.5.1 for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), with a preview for Apple silicon Macs.

Easiest install: get Lecture Desk free from the Microsoft Store. It's signed by Microsoft and updates automatically.

Direct installer: Lecture-Desk-0.5.1-Setup.exe below. It isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway. It installs for your account only and doesn't update itself; download new versions from this page.

Mac preview

Mac (Apple silicon): Lecture-Desk-0.5.1-mac-arm64.dmg below. It is a preview, tested so far on a MacBook Air (M3) running macOS 26. It runs best with 16 GB of memory or more; Macs with 8 GB use a smaller notes model.

It isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS stops it the first time you open it. Drag Lecture Desk into Applications and open it, click Done when macOS says it couldn't verify the app, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway and enter your password. You only do this once per version. The Mac version doesn't update itself; download new versions from this page.

What's new

  • Optional cloud AI with your own API key from the provider you choose: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, xAI, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, or another OpenAI-compatible service.
  • Cloud transcription still asks before every upload and shows the cost. Cloud study notes, flashcards and Ask answers are off until you turn them on.
  • Export a lecture's notes, practice questions, your own notes and the timed transcript as a PDF or a web page.
  • Lecture Desk now checks for 16 GB of memory. Standard notes are the default; laptops with 28 GB or more can choose In-depth notes.
  • Long recordings are transcribed in smaller pieces on laptops with less memory.
  • Security updates to bundled components.

On Windows, requires 16 GB of memory and about 15 GB of free space for the app and its study tools. Privacy notice
