Meetily is a privacy-first AI meeting note taker that captures system audio, transcribes in real time, and generates structured summaries—all on your device. Unlike Otter.ai or Fireflies, no recording bot joins the call and transcripts do not have to leave your Mac. Built with Rust and Tauri, it supports Whisper and faster Parakeet models, plus summaries via Ollama or your own API key.
Why You’ll Love It
- Local by default: Transcription and storage stay on your machine.
- Bot-free: Captures system audio so nothing joins Zoom, Meet, or Teams as a participant.
- Open source core: MIT-licensed Community Edition with an active GitHub community.
- Flexible AI: Local models or Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints for summaries.
- Cross-platform: Native apps for macOS and Windows (Linux builds from source).
What It Offers
- Live transcription: High-accuracy local STT with model choice and GPU acceleration.
- Smart summaries: Action items, decisions, and section summaries from the transcript.
- Import audio: Re-transcribe MP3, WAV, M4A, and other formats offline.
- Exports: Markdown and advanced formats on Pro (PDF, DOCX).
- Privacy-ready: Designed for GDPR/HIPAA-minded workflows where cloud meeting tools are off-limits.
Perfect For
- Professionals who need private meeting notes without a SaaS subscription.
- Teams that cannot send confidential calls to third-party cloud recorders.
- Open-source users looking for an Otter.ai / Granola alternative they control.
