I built Clearminutes after getting frustrated with cloud meeting tools. Otter, Fireflies, and even "bot-free" tools like Granola still send your audio to cloud APIs (Deepgram, AssemblyAI, OpenAI) for transcription. If your meetings contain anything confidential, that's not great.
Clearminutes runs Whisper.cpp, Parakeet, and Canary 1B v2 directly on your device - Metal/CoreML on Apple Silicon, CUDA on NVIDIA, Vulkan on AMD/Intel, CPU fallback. Your audio is processed locally. The only network call the app makes is to verify a Pro licence, and only if you activate one.
Privacy-first AI meeting assistant that transcribes, summarises, and extracts action items - entirely on your device. No meeting bot. No cloud by default. Runs Whisper.cpp locally with GPU acceleration. Free tier with unlimited transcription.
