>log in to comment@StackShortlist Thanks! Yes, transcription runs entirely on your Mac, and audio and recordings stay in a folder you choose. Summaries and chat can stay local too with Ollama or LM Studio. Cloud AI only comes in if you add your own OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key, and then only the transcript text is sent, never the audio.

No bot joining the call is the main reason I would try this, clients notice those bots right away. Does everything stay on the Mac, including the transcription?
Hi everyone, I'm the maker of Meeting Mind. I wanted notes from my calls without a bot joining every meeting and without my meetings sitting on someone else's server. Meeting Mind records your mic and Mac system audio, transcribes on your Mac, and writes a Markdown summary when you hang up. Cloud AI is optional. For this crowd: turn on Settings > MCP and Claude, Cursor or any MCP client on the same Mac can read the live transcript (127.0.0.1 only, token required). Would love your feedback!
MeetingMind --mcp-stdio. Four read-only tools (meetingmind_get_app_info, meetingmind_get_recording_status, meetingmind_get_live_transcript, meetingmind_get_chat_history) let any MCP client follow the meeting in progress. Settings > MCP gives you a copy-paste mcp.json. Free for 2 hrs/day with live transcription, summaries, AI chat and MCP. Unlimited is a one-time purchase that removes the limit and adds History and auto-export to Notion or Obsidian. Requires macOS 26.
