Realtime meeting notes that don’t leave your Mac

talat captures your microphone and system audio, transcribes both sides of every conversation in real time, and turns meetings into searchable, editable notes. It's powered entirely by your Mac's Neural Engine: your audio never leaves your machine. Choose custom LLM providers, write custom summarisation prompts, auto-export to Obsidian, push meeting data via webhooks, or query your history through an MCP server. It runs alongside Granola and other tools, so you can try it without switching.
The 'stays on your Mac' angle is huge for privacy. Most AI meeting tools send everything to the cloud which always felt uncomfortable. Does Talat work with just microphone input or does it also capture screen content?
This is the way. When the job can be done on local hardware you already own, it feels wasteful to rent offsite tokens.

@sweeteyecandy exactly Tom!
Local-only meeting transcription is a huge deal for anyone dealing with sensitive conversations — legal, healthcare, finance. The MCP server and Obsidian export are nice touches for power users. What's the accuracy like compared to cloud-based alternatives? That's usually where on-device models struggle.
