Overview
It records your microphone and whatever audio is playing on your machine (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, anything else), transcribes both sides in real time, and writes you a summary at the end. There's no meeting bot to invite to calls, no account to create, and no subscription.
You can use the built-in local summariser, or plug in your own (local or cloud). Transcripts auto-export to Markdown (Obsidian, iCloud, a git repo, wherever you keep notes), and there's full local search across every meeting you've ever recorded.
You pay once and own the app - no subscription, no account.
