Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We built Bookipi AI Notetaker because we wanted a meeting notetaker that’s free, local and private, and actually nice to use. The ones we tried either sent everything to the cloud or felt clunky, so we made our own.
💸 Free. There’s no subscription and no limits on meetings. You get every feature without paying anything.
💻 Local. Recording, transcription and summaries all happen on your device. No bot joins your call, and you don’t have to upload anything.
🔒 Private. Your conversations stay on your Mac. That matters for client calls, legal conversations and personal meetings. Because there’s no bot to signal that the call is being recorded, Notetaker notifies about consent first. Being private shouldn’t mean being invisible.
✨ What else it does:
🎙️ Dictation: speak, and the text appears wherever you’re typing
💬 Ask AI: ask questions about your meetings and get answers from your notes
🔌 Bring your own model: local is the default, but you can connect a third-party model if you prefer
📥 Granola import: bring your history with you if you’re switching
🗂️ Notes organised by person and folder
📅 Syncs with Google, Outlook and Apple Calendar
🗣️ Local speaker identification and labeling for better transcripts
We’d love to hear what you think of the whole flow, from hitting record to reading your summary, taking notes, using Ask AI and dictation.
👉 It’s free on Mac. Give it a try!
Glad you included a reminder to tell people the call is being recorded. Removing the meeting bot makes that easier to forget.
Hey@oleksii_sekundant , thanks for noticing it!
We are also working on a video watermark feature to make it more obvious that the call is being recorded. Hopefully we can include it in the upcoming update soon!
Thank you, this is really important to us! Privacy isn't only about the person recording. Everyone in the meeting should feel safe and informed.
We're working on making this seamless by using a recording watermark, plus an automatic chat message sent to the meeting so all participants know notes are being taken. Stay tuned for the next update!
Curious to see how will this blend with my current workflow. The Claude Code connection is one of the features i'm looking for on a notetaker.
Hi @tagti_bism , so glad you found it useful! Initially, we only added 3rd party support via API keys, but then we realised people might want to use their existing AI subscription and have a simpler way to connect.
Please share how it'll go with your workflow 🤖 - I'm super interested to know the results!
I just tested it, and actually the first integration was quite smooth, connecting to my claude account and google calendar was seamless. The UI seems aesthetic and native!
I am waiting on to encounter the actual meeting to see how this app works 👍 Nice work!
Hi@js_pk, thanks for trying out our app! So glad you found the experience really smooth. We have a lot more features in development, so hope you stick around and please let us know how your first meeting goes! 🙏
This made our day, thank you @js_pk !
We hope it lets you stay fully in the conversation while the notes take care of themselves.
Looking forward to your feedback. We're all ears!
No subscription and everything runs locally. Very ideal for those of us that don't want conversations going God knows where.
Hey @resty_artiaga ! Really appreciate the support! We also got tired of not knowing where our conversations go, so we built the best app we could imagine for ourselves <3
We also added support for 3rd party AI just in case you need that extra frontier boost for some meetings 😉
Beautifully made! I can use my own claude subscription, and the setup is no brainer. Good job!
@josualeonard it took so long to get it right, glad it works so well now! Thank you!
My only concern for note takers before was privacy. Love that this one runs locally. It was also really easy to setup 🙌
Hey@jeffreynerona , that was our concern too. There were a lot of alternatives, but they didn't feel very polished. We spent a lot of time making sure the UX makes sense and the product was easy to setup and use. Let us know if you have any features you'd like to see!
