An open-source alternative to Granola

Meetily is the one project in our catalog listed as a replacement for Granola. It is office productivity software with 32.3K GitHub stars. Below is how it measures against the questions people usually ask first.

Meetily

Office productivity

Record, transcribe and summarise meetings on your own computer.

Meetily gives you meeting transcripts and summaries without sending recordings to a cloud service. It listens through your computer's audio, so it works with most video call apps and does not add a bot to the meeting. That makes it a fit for consultants, lawyers, healthcare teams and others who handle sensitive conversations.

  • Live transcription on your device with Whisper or Parakeet models.
  • Summaries from local Ollama models or Claude, Groq, OpenRouter and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
  • Records microphone and system audio together, so no meeting bot is needed.

What people use it for

Take notes in calls without a meeting bot

Install Meetily on macOS or Windows and start a recording when your Zoom, Google Meet or Teams call begins. It captures your microphone and the system audio together and shows a live transcript. Nothing appears in the participant list, because no bot joins the call.

Summarise confidential meetings without the cloud

Choose Ollama as the summary provider so a local model writes the summary, while Whisper or Parakeet handles transcription on the device. Recordings, models and transcripts are stored locally. Organisations with their own AI service can point Meetily at a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint instead.

Transcribe recordings you already have

Use Import and Enhance, currently in beta, to bring in an existing audio file and generate a transcript. You can also re-transcribe a recorded meeting with a different model or language. All of this processing happens on your computer.
