After download

Install from the DMG.

  1. Open the DMG and drag Meeting Recorder into Applications.
  2. Run this command in Terminal so macOS can open the app:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Meeting Recorder.app"

Then open Meeting Recorder from Applications and complete the first-run setup wizard.

Workflow

From private meeting to agent-ready context.

01

Capture locally

Run the meeting capture and processing workflow from your Mac.

02

Transcribe on-device

Use local WhisperMLX processing with speaker-separated text when diarization is enabled.

03

Clean the transcript

Review speaker labels and produce readable output instead of raw meeting noise.

04

Use it anywhere

Export TXT, SRT, VTT, and JSON for the LLM, agent, editor, or knowledge base you prefer.

Privacy posture

Completely local by design.

Meeting Recorder does not require a hosted transcription account. Meeting data and generated transcript files live locally, while optional integrations are user-provided and can be left off.
