Meetily is an open-source, privacy-focused AI meeting assistant for desktop platforms that transcribes and summarizes audio conversations locally on your machine. It captures live system and microphone audio, converts speech to text using Whisper or Parakeet models, and generates structured meeting notes without sending raw data to cloud servers.

Overview of Meetily

During my hands-on testing on Windows 11, Meetily ran efficiently without the typical memory bloat seen in cloud-tethered note takers. The Tauri and Rust backend kept system overhead minimal while utilizing my local GPU to handle speech processing and Ollama-driven summaries entirely offline. It delivers a fast, distraction-free workflow that gives you full control over your private meeting records.

Core Features of Meetily

Local Speech Processing: Transcribes conversations offline using embedded Whisper or NVIDIA Parakeet models to keep your recordings on your own drive.
Hardware Acceleration: Native support for NVIDIA CUDA and Vulkan speeds up processing on modern graphics cards without manual setup.
Smart Audio Mixing: Automatically captures microphone input and computer sound simultaneously with built-in volume ducking and clipping prevention.
Custom Summary Engines: Connects directly to local LLMs via Ollama, or links to custom endpoints like Claude, Groq, and standard OpenAI-compatible APIs.
Audio File Import: Drop in external audio files to generate transcripts or re-run previous recordings through different transcription engines.

System Compatibility

Windows: Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit / x64 architecture)
macOS: Apple Silicon (ARM64 / aarch64) with Metal and CoreML acceleration
Linux: 64-bit distributions (source build with Vulkan/CUDA support)

Why Choose Meetily?

Unlike subscription-based corporate recorders that store sensitive calls on third-party servers, Meetily keeps all data on your local hardware. It is completely ad-free, open source under the MIT license, and works fully offline without recurring fees.
