[ ✦ ] Features
Everything Minutesmith does — and nothing it sneaks in.
Record both sides of the call, get a clean transcript and a summary shaped to the meeting, then ask it anything. All of it runs on your Mac. Here's the whole toolkit.
[ ▸ ] The essentials
Four things, done properly.
The whole loop — capture, transcribe, summarize, ask — without a single trip to the cloud.
Record the whole room
Captures your microphone and the system audio from Zoom, Teams, or Meet, so the transcript has everyone on the call — not just your half. Start or stop from anywhere with ⌘⇧R.
Transcribe on-device
A local Whisper model turns speech into a clean, timestamped transcript using your Mac's own GPU. Download it once and it keeps working in full airplane mode.
Summarize by meeting type
Pick a template — Standup, Weekly Sync, Sales Call, Lecture, or General — and the summary shapes itself to the conversation you actually had.
Ask your transcript
Forgot what got decided at minute 34? Ask in plain English and get an answer pulled straight from what was said, with the transcript right there to check.
[ ⌘ ] Templates
A summary that fits the meeting, not a one-size-fits-all blob.
Each template steers the summary toward what actually matters for that kind of conversation — action items for a standup, next steps for a sales call, study notes for a lecture.
[ ◆ ] Your model, your call
Runs locally by default. Bring your own cloud if you want more.
Summaries run on a built-in on-device model out of the box — no key, no account. Prefer a specific cloud model? Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, or a self-hosted Ollama instance with your own key, and the text goes straight from your Mac to that provider. Minutesmith has no server of its own and never sees your key or your content in transit.
[ + ] And the rest
The details that make it yours to keep.
Small things that add up to a tool you actually own.
A local library
Every meeting lives in a searchable library of plain files on your Mac. Search transcripts and summaries, and open any past meeting in a click.
Export anything
Transcripts and summaries export to files whenever you need them — hand them off, archive them, or back them up. They're yours, not stranded on someone's server.
Light & dark
Looks right whichever way your Mac is set, and stays out of the way so you can focus on the meeting instead of the app.
Global shortcut
Hit ⌘⇧R from any app to start or stop recording — no window-switching, no fumbling for the record button mid-sentence.
Safe AI cleanup
Optional cleanup tidies a rough transcript in sections, and any section that doesn't come back intact keeps its original text — so a long meeting never gets quietly shortened.
No account, no tracking
No sign-up, no analytics, no crash SDKs, no ad networks. Nothing is phoned home, because there's nowhere for it to go.
