vs Alternatives
Maker here. I built Xtify out of my own pain.
When I was doing Customer Side Project Management, my days were basically back-to-back client meetings from morning to night. It was always the short ones I'd forget to prep for or capture. What I needed wasn't another app to remember to open;
I needed something that was just already there, running quietly in the background. That's exactly what Xtify does. Would love your feedback 🙏

👋 Hey Product Hunt! Maker here.
I built Xtify because I was tired of two bad options for meeting notes:
(1) a bot joins my call, sits there as a visible participant, and someone else's server ends up with my conversation, or
(2) I manually record and paste a transcript into ChatGPT after every meeting — which forgets everything the second I close the tab.
Xtify takes system audio straight off your Mac (no bot, no virtual audio device, no "recording bot has joined the meeting" message) and auto-detects Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddle, and Discord.
So it just works in the background. Your audio never leaves your Mac. Only the transcript goes to the cloud for AI processing, and that's entirely on your terms.
What comes out the other side isn't just a transcript; it's decisions, action items with owners, risks, and follow-ups, all searchable across every meeting you've ever had. The goal isn't "better notes," it's a memory layer, so you (and your future self) never have to ask "wait, who owned that?" again.
Would love your feedback~ Especially from anyone who's been burned by a bot crashing an external or client call. Happy to answer anything about the audio capture approach, the privacy model, or what's next on the roadmap (cross-meeting Q&A and AI follow-ups are up next).

Love that everything stays on the Mac. One thing I'd love is a way to search across past recordings by topic or keyword, not just by meeting title. Even a simple full text search with snippets would make it way more useful when I'm trying to find something from last month.

@xinyi_huang Yes, definitely, and that feature is available in the application. Right now, I'm using fuzzy search for a better searching experience, but I'm still improving it.

Local-first is exactly why I trust it. One thing that would make this a daily driver for me: an iOS app that syncs encrypted notes between my Mac and phone, so I can review action items on the go without anything ever hitting a cloud server.

@hazelpark That made a lot of sense. In the iOS app, with AirDrop enabled without connecting to any cloud server, that's feasible! Let me add it to the backlog.

Local-first is exactly the angle that matters here, glad someone finally built this properly. One thing that would make it stick for me: a way to sync encrypted snippets or summaries to my phone without pulling the full audio files across, so I can review key moments on the go without breaking the privacy model.

@mia_liq 100% true, and that can be done by Bluetooth or AirDrop

The fact that recordings never leave my Mac is a huge relief compared to other meeting tools I have tried. Action items being pulled out automatically has already saved me from forgetting a follow up.

@tracepro love it~
