>log in to commentHi everyone, I'm Dave, and I make 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. Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6751551175- Private by design: no bot joins, audio stays on your Mac, recordings never uploaded
- Custom AI models: use local Ollama/LM Studio or your own OpenAI/Anthropic key
