Minutehand
Meeting transcripts for your AI agents
Minutehand is a minimalist macOS menu-bar app. It records your meetings — no bot joins the call — and files a Markdown transcript into a folder your AI agent already reads. No unnecessary summaries. No account setup. No subscription. No bullshit. Setting up is super easy. You'll never copy-paste a meeting transcript into your AI ever again. And since transcription runs through your own Deepgram key, you get the benefit of Deepgram's $200 of free credit, worth over 300 hours of transcription.
I kept watching a client team do the same thing after every call. Open the notetaker, ignore the summary it had written, copy the raw transcript out, paste it into Claude. One meeting at a time, by hand, because Claude had all their necessary work context over months of conversations, email and files, while the meetings app ever did. So Claude's analysis of those transcripts was always deeper and more insightful.
So I built the boring half and stopped there. Minutehand sits in the menu bar, watches your calendar, and offers to record a couple of minutes before a meeting starts. It captures mic plus system audio, so nothing joins the call as a participant and it works with Zoom, Meet, Teams or two people at a table. Transcription runs through your own Deepgram API key. What lands is a plain Markdown file in a folder you picked, with the meeting title, date, duration and attendees written into the top of it.
There is no summary feature and there is never going to be one.
It is macOS 13 or later but even works on old Intel Macs. It costs $39 once, with no subscription and no accounts necessary.
It offers a 7-day refund if it doesn't fit your workflow. Deepgram gives new accounts $200 of free credit, which is over 300 hours, so the transcription side costs nothing for a while.
