Record and summarize meetings locally without sending data to a server
If you are concerned about leaving important meeting content in the cloud, you need a tool that completes all processing on your computer. Meetily captures microphone and system audio simultaneously, converts them to text in real time, and generates summaries using local AI models. Because data does not leave your device, you can use it with confidence in environments that handle sensitive information.
Why data stays local
Meetily processes recording, transcription, and summarization entirely on the user's device. By default, it uses local models, so audio and text are not sent to external servers. Even if you choose a cloud AI, only the text is transmitted. This is a significant advantage for companies and professionals who want to maintain data sovereignty or avoid compliance issues.
Real-time transcription and summarization
Text is generated in real time like subtitles while the meeting is in progress. You can improve accuracy by using Whisper or Parakeet models, and enhance processing speed through GPU acceleration. After the meeting ends, it generates a summary using your chosen AI provider (Ollama, Claude, Groq, etc.). It also allows you to import existing audio files to re-transcribe them with different models or languages.
Platform-specific installation and requirements
Official installation packages are provided for Windows and macOS (Apple Silicon), while Linux requires building from source. The Windows installer uses a Whisper build that supports Vulkan and requires an x64 CPU with AVX2 support. The macOS package automatically enables Metal and CoreML acceleration. Developers building from source need a Rust and Node.js environment.
Differences between free and paid versions
The Community Edition is free under the MIT license and provides core features such as local transcription and AI summarization. The PRO version includes advanced features like speaker identification, PDF/DOCX export, MCP and webhook integration, and team self-hosting. PRO costs $10 per user per month (billed annually) and offers a 14-day free trial. The Community Edition will remain free in the future.
Things to check before use
This tool is suitable for environments handling sensitive meeting content. However, Windows users must verify that their CPU supports AVX2, and those wanting CUDA acceleration must build from source. Linux users need to go through the build process, so those familiar with setting up development environments are at an advantage. Official builds should only be downloaded from meetily.ai and the GitHub releases page.
