Meetily is a desktop application that captures, transcribes, and summarizes meeting audio. It processes audio on the local machine using local models, with optional cloud-based language models for generating summaries.
Project overview
It captures microphone and system audio simultaneously and processes the data using local transcription models, addressing privacy concerns associated with processing sensitive audio on third-party servers.

Transcribes meetings entirely on-device in real-time using Whisper or Parakeet models without cloud dependency.
Generates summaries of meetings using local AI models via Ollama or optional cloud providers.
Captures microphone and system audio simultaneously with intelligent ducking and clipping prevention.
Allows importing existing audio files to generate transcripts or re-transcribe meetings with different models locally.
Built-in support for hardware acceleration across platforms including Metal, CoreML, CUDA, and Vulkan.
Automatic speaker separation and identification (planned for PRO meetings).
Supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints for AI summaries.
Limitations and risks
Linux requires building from source.
Getting started
Installation difficulty is rated easy because installer binaries are provided for Windows and macOS. The first success path is to download the installer from Releases and run it to install the application.
