Alter is the Mac AI assistant that lets you get stuff done fast. Just talk naturally to extract insights from YouTube videos, draft perfect emails, or turn messy meetings into clear action items. It understands what's on your screen and works across your apps, bringing intelligence to your entire day.
This is the 2nd launch from Alter. View more
Alter for Meetings
Alter turns meetings into clear action—without a bot. It auto starts/stops recording for online meetings, transcribes and labels speakers locally for speed and privacy, then lets you chat using local models or cloud models for extra intelligence.

🚀 Hey Product Hunt! We're back with our new meeting transcription feature.
We've integrated Parakeet for local processing of your recordings, and honestly, we're pretty excited about how it turned out.
Here's what we built:
✨ Cloud-level accuracy, but everything stays local – We're talking the same precision you'd get from online services, including speaker identification, but it all happens on your Mac.
⚡ Fast as hell – 1 hour of audio gets processed in 30 seconds on an M2 Pro 16GB. No meeting bots, no calendar setup, it just works when you start talking.
🔒 No limits – Record as many meetings as you want, however long they are. Your conversations stay yours.
💰 $29/year – That's it. No per-meeting charges, no usage caps.
Big shoutout to our partner Argmax who made this level of performance possible with their Pro SDK. Took the whole team to get here, but we're stoked with the results.
Alter still does everything it did before (understanding your screen, helping with tasks), but now it remembers your meetings too.
Ready to never forget what was said in that important call without worrying about privacy issues?
PS: We're giving away 50 free one-year Local+ subscriptions—first come, first served!

@sarrah Apply the code PHMEETINGS at checkout to get a 100% off discount. There's still some left!
@0xgrrr Is there, or will there be a way, to see the real time transcription? Something like what Hedy offers.
Alter
@chrisfr Live captions/translations is coming, chat with the live transcription too and some more goodies!
Alter starts to become my secret weapon. What the team puts out every week is crazy! It’s such a help in my workflow I almost want to keep it to myself 😅. But everyone should benefit and Alter deserves success ! so here goes ! Use it be amazed !
Alter works perfectly with my Google Meetings and Microsoft Teams in Chrome or in the app: it starts automatically when the meeting begins and prepares excellent actionable reports when it ends. The transcripts are so good that I keep them to feed Alter's knowledge base (workspaces) on certain topics. I love it.

@workflo thanks!

Love that you have a very simple pricing model. Are your clients mostly single users or small teams as well? Are you more a B2C or a B2B product?
Alter
@ekulianova We have mostly single users, think freelancers, solopreneurs, small business owners and lot of students and academics.

Quick update: we just shipped Pyannote 4 / Community-1 integration — the new SOTA for speaker diarization that dropped today.
We're the first to bring it to Mac, same day as the announcement.
Even better speaker identification, still 100% local. This is what we're about: shipping the best AI tooling on Mac fast.
Cheers!
I tried Alter once and it was great!
Is there are a coupon for discount for Alter Pro?
Alter
@zoomhummer No, it's exclusively for Local+ which is the focus of this launch
@0xgrrr :(
Alter
@zoomhummer Yup, being a bootstrapped company has some limitations!
Very impressive technology.
