HealthyAlter is a macOS-native productivity tool designed to capture screens and meetings, providing local transcription and AI-driven summaries. While it boasts a perfect AppSumo rating, the deal is extremely early with very little social proof. The risk level is rated HIGH primarily due to critical legal terms that allow the vendor to terminate LTD accounts unilaterally without cause and a lack of standard enterprise security attestations.
