- Who it helps
- People evaluating private meeting notes on a supported desktop
- Availability
- Free MIT-licensed source. The README lists Apple Silicon macOS 14.4+, Windows 10 build 2004+ and Ubuntu 22.04+, with at least 8 GB RAM and multi-gigabyte model downloads.
Local processing needs an initial download
Models run through Whisper and llama.cpp after download. The maker describes offline processing; network behavior and recognition quality were not tested.
Connecting another assistant changes the privacy boundary
Its optional MCP connection, which lets an assistant read meeting records, is off by default. Any process under the same user can read through it while enabled. A connected cloud assistant may send retrieved text to its provider.
Check speakers and consent
Speaker labels and calendar features are macOS-only in the README. Follow recording-consent requirements and check names, dates and assigned actions against the recording.
