Clearminutes
AI meeting notes that never leave your machine. 100% local.
Privacy-first AI meeting assistant that transcribes, summarises, and extracts action items - entirely on your device. No meeting bot. No cloud by default. Runs Whisper.cpp locally with GPU acceleration. Free tier with unlimited transcription.
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?
