Common questions

What does it keep track of?

The main topic, the tangents, and the questions you still need to get back to, in one Conversation card on the board. On the Mac you can turn it off in Settings, under Meetings, then Conversation.

What is App Sharing?

On the Mac, bring an app window onto the board so Sketchwright can read it and help with what you’re doing: a diagram tool, a doc, a ticket tracker. You choose whether the room sees it.

Do I need an account?

No, if you have Claude Code or Codex installed and signed in: Sketchwright then runs on your own subscription. If you do not, sign in with Google in the app to join the waitlist for hosted access, which is free during the beta with a weekly usage allowance.

Which meeting apps does it work with?

Any of them: Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, and the rest. Sketchwright listens to your computer’s audio, and you share its window from your meeting app. On Mac, you can also invite Sketch into Google Meet as a participant.

What is in the report?

The diagrams, the decisions, and the next steps from the meeting, in one self-contained document. You review it before sharing. The transcript is optional. On Windows, emailing it from the app needs hosted access. Without it, save a PDF.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC”

The Windows build is code-signed, but SmartScreen can still warn about an app it hasn’t seen much. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Or right-click the zip before extracting, open Properties, tick Unblock, and OK.

macOS asks for permissions

macOS asks when a feature first needs access: the microphone and the audio your Mac plays for listening, a window or screen for App Sharing, and your calendar only if you turn that on. You can change any of them later in System Settings, under Privacy & Security.

Sketchwright does not hear me on Windows

Windows needs two things. First, a speech recognizer for the language you speak: in Windows Settings, under Time & language, then Speech, add your language with its speech recognition feature; the app says so itself when none is installed. Second, microphone access: in Settings, under Privacy & security, then Microphone, turn on microphone access and “Let desktop apps access your microphone”.

How do I pause it?

Press Pause. It stops listening and voice until you press Resume.

How do I show the board in a call on Windows?

Open the board window from the toolbar’s More menu (Participant window…, or Ctrl+Shift+W), then share that window from your meeting app: in Google Meet, Present now, then A window, then “Sketchwright — Shared board”; in Zoom, Share Screen and pick the same window; in Teams, Share and pick it there. Share the window rather than the whole screen, so your own board, notes and panels stay off the call.

Where is my data, and how do I delete it?

Your sessions and sketches are kept on your own computer; on Windows they are under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sketchwright. On the Mac, Settings (⌘,), then Memory, lists the kept sketches: Delete All… removes every one, a row’s menu offers Delete Everything From This Session, and the switch Keep past sessions on this Mac stops keeping them. On Windows, Settings (Ctrl+,), then Memory, lists the kept sketches: Delete All… removes every one except the open board, along with saved meetings, a row’s menu offers Delete Everything From This Session, and the switch Keep past sessions on this PC stops keeping them. Forget this install…, under Drawing & Voice, removes the keys and tokens. To remove everything, choose it, quit Sketchwright, and delete that folder. On both, the Clear Session command clears the open board. A sketch you put online, and the hosted service when you use it, are described in the privacy policy. To ask about data held by the hosted service, or for deletion help, write to [email protected].

Which AI does it use?

Your own Claude Code or Codex when you have one, or hosted access once you’re off the waitlist. What you say and type, and the context you permit, go to the provider behind the one you use. See our privacy policy for details, including optional hosted voice.

How do I report spam or abuse?

Email [email protected]. Include the message or link if you can.

Something is not working

Discord is the fastest way to reach us, or email [email protected]. On Windows, logs live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Sketchwright and hold event names and timings, never what was said or drawn.

Not on Windows yet

  • Sketch joining your call (share the board window by hand for now)
  • App Sharing
  • Automatic updates, so download each new build yourself

Spoken replies and emailing the report need hosted access. The full comparison is on the download page.
