Transcription

Summit turns meetings into searchable, structured knowledge — fully local by default, with Markdown export, semantic search, speaker recognition, and no vendor lock-in. Use local AI, cloud models, or your own infrastructure. Your conversations stay portable and under your control.

I started building Summit because most meeting apps force a bad tradeoff.

Local apps give you privacy, but leave you alone with raw transcripts and weak summaries. Cloud apps are more polished, but your conversations live on someone else’s servers.

I wanted something different:
AI meeting notes that are actually useful after the meeting — while keeping you in control of your data.

Summit records any meeting on your Mac, creates structured notes, lets you search across conversations, chat with your history, and export everything as Markdown.

Everything runs locally by default, but if you prefer cloud models or your own API keys, you can use those too. Summit is built around ownership, not ideology. I personally use local Qwen3.6-27B on my M1Pro 32Gb, but you don't have to!

I’d especially love feedback from people working with sensitive conversations — consultants, lawyers, therapists, recruiters, healthcare professionals — or anyone who tried local-first tools and bounced off them.

Happy to answer anything 🙏

I waited for too long for similar solution to have Obsidian-like experience - local storage and ownership of you data, but when it comes to recording meetings/webinars and then customly transcribing them. I cancelled my Tactiq account in favor of great lifetime deal with Summit AI Notes. Well done man

Summit: AI Notetaker 1.10 Huge Update! 🙌

New Features

Connect Summit to Claude Code and other AI tools your notes, transcripts and search are now available to external assistants, with a secure sign-in flow and connection status shown in Settings.
Live Queries: save a chat as a standing question over your notes and get recurring recaps. Pick the scope right in the editor, and see them front and centre on Home.
Chat now uses tools by default, so it can search, open and cross-reference your notes while answering. It shows what it s doing as it works, and every answer links back to the sources it used. Mention a document with @ to pull it into the conversation.
Tiered local chat: Summit picks a fast local model for everyday questions and automatically steps up to a more capable one for harder reasoning. Configurable in Settings.
Always-on-top meeting overlay a compact pill that stays visible during calls, remembers where you left it, and includes an interactive meeting prep tab.
Split transcript blocks and reassign speakers for part of a conversation, and copy the full transcript from the transcript menu.
App-wide back and forward navigation history.
Added OpenRouter as a cloud AI provider.
It is now possible to use NAS or any external drive as a storage folder.

Improvements

Calendar: skip recording an entire recurring series with one setting, set a default folder per series, start recordings inline from the Upcoming Meetings widget, and roll unanswered invitations into the tentative auto-record option.
Recordings started from a calendar invite or by hand now stop automatically when the meeting ends, including Google Meet.
Recordings are written to local storage first and synced forward to your storage folder afterwards, so a slow or network drive never slows down a recording. Your database and media can now live in separate locations.
Search moved from inline filter chips to a dedicated advanced search sheet faster, less cluttered, and easier to filter by people, tags and dates.
Document list gets Default, Comfortable and Compact view modes, day grouping, and duration in the subtitle.
Model recommendations are now more conservative and tell you plainly when a model is too large for your Mac.
AI summaries render as a styled block with better formatting.
Cloud provider API keys are now stored in the macOS Keychain.
