Notta Desktop - Privacy Mode
Offline AI meeting notes with unlimited transcription
Record and transcribe private meetings locally with Notta Desktop. Privacy Mode keeps audio, transcripts, and meeting notes on your computer, with offline transcription and no cloud processing. Try it free for 7 days. No credit card required.
I’m Daniel, and I’ve been building Notta for the past 6 years.
In that time, we’ve seen meeting transcription become part of everyday work. But we’ve also heard the same concern from many users: they want AI meeting notes, but not every conversation should be sent to the cloud.
That’s why we built Notta Desktop!
With Privacy Mode, Notta Desktop records and transcribes meetings locally on your computer.
🔒 No network required.
☁️ No cloud processing.
💻 Your audio, transcripts, notes, and related files stay on your device.
The biggest benefit is not just privacy. It is freedom from transcription limits.
Because transcription runs locally instead of through cloud infrastructure, Notta Desktop can support unlimited local transcription and note-taking. You can record long meetings, frequent calls, interviews, internal discussions, and sensitive conversations without worrying about cloud-minute limits.
Notta Desktop works for both in-person and online meetings. It can capture system audio directly, so you can record Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack, Webex, and other calls without inviting a meeting bot.
🤖 No awkward bot in the room.
👥 No participant list clutter.
⚡ No extra setup for attendees.
Notta Desktop offers two local transcription options depending on your device and language needs: a Notta offline model for English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Cantonese, and Apple Speech Analyzer on macOS 26+ for 11 supported languages: English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Cantonese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
🚀 Because everything is saved locally, your transcripts are also easy to use in follow-up workflows with tools like Codex or Claude Code: summaries, reports, PRDs, CRM notes, action items, or any custom workflow you want to build.
We made this for customer calls, legal reviews, financial discussions, internal strategy meetings, research interviews, and any conversation where privacy, control, and unlimited transcription matter.
Would love your feedback: where would offline, unlimited meeting transcription fit into your workflow?
this is a real need, I know a few people in legal and healthcare who can't touch cloud meeting note tools no matter how good they are, compliance just kills it. running transcription fully local usually means a smaller/quantized model though, how's accuracy on multi-speaker calls with crosstalk compared to the cloud version, or is privacy mode meant more for single-speaker dictation type use
Great team building a product that turns AI meeting minutes into real insights and actions
Awesome solution! Could you please list the minimum specs required for the offline mode? I'm guessing you're launching a local MLX model?
Congratulations on the launch! The no-bot, on-device approach is genuinely useful for sensitive calls. In Privacy Mode, does the app make any network calls at all (for example: telemetry, analytics, licence checks) or is it completely zero outbound traffic while offline?
"no awkward bot in the room" is a real selling point, half the resistance to recording client calls is the third participant named Notta Bot making everyone perform
capturing system audio directly is the right call. checking this out for client calls where the conversation can't leave the machine
The unlimited local transcription is the part that genuinely matters to me — cloud-minute caps are exactly why I stop trusting a tool for long interviews and back-to-back calls, so removing that ceiling is a real unlock. Two specific questions beyond the local-vs-cloud split TJ already asked: does the offline model handle speaker diarization locally, or does that still fall back to cloud? And what can I export the local transcript and notes to — is Markdown one of the formats, so it drops cleanly into a notes vault? Good to see privacy shipped as the default instead of an upsell. Congrats on the launch.
@danielwayne This is interesting. I’ve always felt AI transcription tools are useful, but privacy is the part that makes me hesitate, especially for internal meetings or sensitive client calls.
A desktop-first, more private workflow makes a lot of sense. Curious how much can run locally today, and where the line is between local processing and cloud features.
Congrats on the launch. Will be following this one.
