Introduction

Meetily is a privacy-first AI meeting assistant that runs entirely on your local machine. It captures your meetings, transcribes them in real-time, and generates summaries, all without sending any data to the cloud. This makes it the perfect solution for professionals and enterprises who need to maintain complete control over their sensitive information.

Why Meetily?

While there are many meeting transcription tools available, this solution stands out by offering:

The Privacy Problem

Meeting AI tools create significant privacy and compliance risks across all sectors:

  • $4.4M average cost per data breach (IBM 2024)
  • €5.88 billion in GDPR fines issued by 2025
  • 400+ unlawful recording cases filed in California this year

Whether you're a defense consultant, enterprise executive, legal professional, or healthcare provider, your sensitive discussions shouldn't live on servers you don't control. Cloud meeting tools promise convenience but deliver privacy nightmares with unclear data storage practices and potential unauthorized access.

Meetily solves this: Complete data sovereignty on your infrastructure, zero vendor lock-in, and full control over your sensitive conversations.

🍎 macOS

  1. Download meetily_0.4.1_aarch64.dmg from Releases
  2. Open the downloaded .dmg file
  3. Drag Meetily to your Applications folder

Local Transcription and storage

🌐 Custom OpenAI Endpoint Support

Use your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint for AI summaries. Perfect for organizations with custom AI infrastructure or preferred providers.

Custom OpenAI Endpoint Configuration

🎙️ Professional Audio Mixing

Capture microphone and system audio simultaneously with intelligent ducking and clipping prevention.

Device selection

⚡ GPU Acceleration

Acceleration depends on the platform and build you use:

CUDA is available through an appropriately configured NVIDIA source build; the standard Windows installer does not select it automatically.

System Architecture

Meetily is a single, self-contained application built with Tauri. It uses a Rust-based backend to handle all the core logic, and a Next.js frontend for the user interface.

For more details, see the Architecture documentation.

For Developers

If you want to contribute to Meetily or build it from source, you'll need to have Rust and Node.js installed. For detailed build instructions, please see the Building from Source guide.

Meetily Pro

Upcoming version

Meetily PRO is a professional-grade solution with enhanced accuracy and advanced features for serious users and teams. Built on a different codebase with superior transcription models and enterprise-ready capabilities.

Community Thank-You Offer

Meetily Community Edition will remain free and open source. PRO exists for users and teams who want a more advanced meeting workflow, including higher transcription accuracy, custom summary templates, advanced exports, auto-meeting detection, and self-hosted deployment options.

For the community that helped Meetily grow, we are making the upgrade easier: use coupon code LAUNCH20 for 20% off Meetily PRO until the next Meetily Community Edition release.

Speaker diarization is planned for mid-June, bringing automatic speaker separation to PRO meetings.

Key Advantages Over Community Edition:

Who is PRO for?

Note: Meetily Community Edition remains free & open source forever with local transcription, AI summaries, and core features. PRO is a separate professional solution for users who need enhanced accuracy and advanced capabilities.

For organizations needing 100+ users or managed compliance solutions, explore Meetily Enterprise.

Meetily
What is this?A privacy-first AI meeting assistant that captures your meetings, transcribes them in real time, and generates summaries — entirely on your own machine, with no data sent to the cloud.
Is Meetily a desktop app or a cloud service?A self-contained desktop app built with Tauri — a Rust backend handles the core logic and a Next.js frontend provides the UI. It runs on your infrastructure, not as a hosted service.
Do I need an API key, or can the AI summaries run locally?No key needed by default: Ollama (local) is the recommended provider for summaries. If you prefer cloud models, it supports Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Any install pitfalls I should know about?The Windows installer needs an AVX2-capable x64 CPU (Whisper ships with Vulkan; CUDA requires a source build), and the macOS dmg is aarch64, so Apple Silicon only. Linux has no installer — build from source.
If I record a meeting, does anything get uploaded anywhere?No — all processing happens on your device, and transcription models, recordings, and transcripts stay in local storage. The only cloud touchpoint is if you deliberately choose a cloud AI provider for summaries.
Will it use my GPU for transcription?Yes, depending on platform: macOS packages enable Metal and CoreML automatically, Windows ships a Vulkan-enabled Whisper build, and Linux acceleration is configured when you build from source.
Can I transcribe recordings I already have, not just live meetings?Yes — the Import & Enhance feature (beta) lets you import existing audio files to generate transcripts, or re-transcribe a recorded meeting with a different model or language, all processed locally.
How does it capture audio during a meeting?It records your microphone and system audio simultaneously, with intelligent ducking and clipping prevention to keep both sources clean.
What does Meetily PRO add over the free version?Community Edition stays free and open source with local transcription and AI summaries. PRO adds higher-accuracy models, custom summary templates, PDF/DOCX/Markdown exports, auto meeting detection, and self-hosted team deployment.
Does it show which attendee said what?Speaker diarization is named in the project description, but the README announces automatic speaker separation as coming to Meetily PRO in mid-June, so treat it as not yet fully shipped.
What are similar projects?phorminx, openwhispr, screenpipe, VideoHighlighter, nomily-app, autoshorts, lipflow, Handy
Which topics is it in?diarization, meeting-notes, asr, on-device, transcription, mac, local-ai, whisper, metal, privacy-tools, vulkan, speech-to-text
