MeetMind is a free, MIT-licensed meeting assistant designed to run locally on your machine. It captures system audio and microphone input without adding a bot to calls, then produces summaries, decisions, action items, and transcript sections organized by speaker. An optional local index makes transcripts searchable. Exports include Obsidian, GitHub Issues, Slack, and signed transcript bundles; Notion and Linear are listed as planned integrations. Audio, transcripts, voiceprints, archives, and search indexes are stored on the device by default. Ollama is the default language-model provider, while hosted providers require explicit configuration. Retention controls, redaction profiles, and optional consent-based voiceprint enrollment support privacy management. Optional SQLCipher-backed encrypted storage is available; without that extra, MeetMind uses plain SQLite. macOS is the primary platform for native audio capture, with Linux and Windows sidecars planned. The project requires Python 3.12 or 3.13, and first-use transcription downloads a Parakeet model of about 690 MB. A local dashboard runs at 127.0.0.1:7857, with an optional local HTTP API and live event stream.
Who it is for
It suits users who want bot-free, local meeting capture and searchable outputs on macOS. Developers can use the local dashboard or optional API and choose local or explicitly configured hosted language models.
