Workflow

From private meeting to agent-ready context.

Capture locally

Run the meeting capture and processing workflow from your Mac.

02

Transcribe on-device

Use native WhisperKit processing with speaker-separated text when diarization is enabled.

03

Review speaker labels and produce readable output instead of raw meeting noise.

04

Use it anywhere

Export TXT, SRT, VTT, and JSON for the LLM, agent, editor, or knowledge base you prefer.

Privacy posture

Completely local by design.

Meeting Recorder does not require a hosted transcription account. Meeting data and generated transcript files live locally, while optional integrations are user-provided and can be left off. Audio is deleted automatically after 14 days by default, and the retention setting can be changed to 1 day, 14 days, 30 days, or never.
