Meetily Brings Free Local AI Transcriptions to Meetings

Meetily is a free, open-source meeting assistant that runs locally on Windows and macOS (Linux via source), using downloaded AI models to transcribe conversations in real time or from recordings and then generate summaries; it records both microphone and system audio to capture all sides of a call and works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and more. A Pro version costs $10/month, but the core features remain free. The free tier lacks speaker labeling and may misprioritize details, but it offers a privacy-friendly, offline alternative to cloud transcription tools, with other free options like noScribe, Anarlog, and Quill as alternatives.
