- 3 Sept 2026We read the project's own documentation and found no sign that development has stopped.

What it does
Captures meeting audio, transcribes it and produces a summary, with the whole pipeline able to run inside your own environment so meeting content need not be handed to a vendor. For the summarising step you can pick Ollama running locally, or Claude, Groq, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint - the local option keeps everything in-house. Available for macOS, Windows and Linux. A paid PRO tier exists alongside the open-source version.
