call.md

What it does

A desktop app that captures a call and runs AI over it in real time as well as before and after — notes and analysis arriving during the conversation rather than an hour later. macOS, installed via a piped shell script worth reading first. Everyone in the room should have agreed to the recording before it starts, and audio and transcripts reach whichever service you configure, which matters most when external attendees are present. No licence file was found.

call.md FAQ

Is call.md free?

call.md itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use call.md?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does call.md work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use call.md commercially?

The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.

How it compares

"Sends data out" means your input is uploaded to someone's server. Pick "No" when the material cannot leave your organisation.
