Hey PH! 👋 I'm James, and I built Clearminutes because I got frustrated with meeting tools that upload your audio to third-party servers you've never heard of. Cloud meeting tools like Otter, Fireflies, and Granola all process your audio somewhere else. Even "bot-free" tools like Granola use cloud APIs for transcription. If you work with confidential conversations (clients, patients, business strategy), that's a real problem. Clearminutes runs Whisper.cpp and Parakeet directly on your Mac or Windows machine - Metal/CoreML on Apple Silicon, CUDA on NVIDIA. Your audio is processed locally. Always. What it does: - Real-time transcription with speaker identification (Pro) - AI summaries using local models (Gemma/Ollama) or your own cloud API key (text only, never audio) - Action item extraction with TickTick sync - Export to Outline wiki, Markdown, PDF - Auto-detects Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack calls Free tier: unlimited transcription, no minute caps. Pro: £12/month or £249 lifetime (early access pricing). Happy to answer any questions about the architecture, model choices, or anything else. What would make you switch from your current meeting tool?

Clearminutes: local Whisper meeting transcription, no audio leaves your machine

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.
