What Quill is
Quill records and transcribes meetings locally on macOS or Windows without adding a meeting bot. It supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, Webex, FaceTime, and in-person meetings. The app provides AI summaries, speaker labels, action-item tracking, note templates, and a searchable archive. Audio, transcripts, and notes stay on the user’s computer, and offline use includes recording, transcription, speaker identification, and searching or editing past meetings. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited recordings and transcripts with local transcription. Lite costs $6.99 a month with 16 hours of pro meetings monthly; Unlimited costs $16.99 a month; Teams costs $12 a month with a five-seat minimum. Lite, Unlimited, and Teams can be canceled anytime. Companion apps record on iPhone and Android and import files into the desktop app, but require a paid plan and desktop app. Quill has no iPad app and cannot record from a browser. It integrates with Slack, Notion, CRMs, folders, Claude, Codex, and Jira, and its local MCP server can be queried by Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Codex.
