Record any meeting free, with no time limit. MeetCap transcribes on your computer, explains new terms as they come up during the meeting, and has the minutes ready when it ends. Your AI agent can run it, query past meetings as context, and it works both way too. MeetCap can drive your local harness to write context-aware minutes.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Seacen. I built MeetCap on my own.

When I trained three senior executives on AI, all three said meetings were where they wanted help most. Teams already recorded their calls. But nobody recorded their in-person meetings, and on calls, when an unfamiliar term came up, they wanted the background right then and a proper record afterward. I'm in five or six meetings a day myself, so I know the feeling.

During the meeting, a short summary every few minutes catches you up and explains terms you might not know. When it ends, the minutes are ready to forward. Misheard names and terms are fixed first, and every point links back to the line it came from. One click plays it back.

It's free, and your meetings stay yours. Recordings are transcribed on your computer and never leave it. No account, no time limits, no locked features. Transcripts and minutes are Markdown files in your own folder, so Obsidian or any agent can open them. You choose who writes the minutes: an agent you already use, your own API key, or a local model that keeps even the text on your computer.

Let your agent run MeetCap, or let MeetCap run your agent. Tell Claude Code or Codex "record this meeting" and it starts. Weeks later, ask it what price you agreed with the supplier. Or have MeetCap call your agent in the background to write the minutes, on the subscription you already pay for.

It transcribes English, Chinese, or both in the same sentence. It needs macOS 14.2 or later, and Windows and iPhone versions are coming soon. The code isn't public yet; I plan to release it under the AGPL.

If you try it in your next meeting, tell me what broke and what's missing. I'll be in the comments all day.
