How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide what you want to achieve with meetily and check the README on GitHub for requirements before installing.

  2. Get the code

    Clone the repository from GitHub (or take the packaged install route in step 3 if the README offers one).

  3. Install and configure

    Follow the project's documented install commands — the Run section below lists the exact ones — and add any required API keys or models.

  4. Run your first task

    Work through the README's quickstart example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.

// features

Why people love it

100% local processing

Transcription and summarization run on-device; meeting audio does not leave your machine.

Fast live transcription

Supports Parakeet and Whisper live transcription, which the project describes as up to 4x faster with its Parakeet path.

Speaker diarization

Attributes transcript lines to speakers so minutes are readable.

Ollama summarization

Generates meeting summaries with a local model via Ollama — no cloud LLM needed.

Import and enhance

Import existing recordings and enhance/transcribe them after the fact (marked Beta in the README).

GPU acceleration and audio mixing

Professional audio mixing and GPU acceleration support for better capture and speed.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the Meetily source (the repo was formerly named meeting-minutes).

    git clone https://github.com/Zackriya-Solutions/meetily.git
    cd meetily
  2. Install the app

    Most users should download the latest Windows x64-setup.exe or macOS build from the GitHub Releases page and run the installer.

    # download the installer for your OS from the Releases page (see README Installation)
  3. Transcribe your first meeting

    Open Meetily, start a meeting recording (or import audio), and let the local models transcribe, diarize and summarize it.

    # summaries use your local Ollama model — install Ollama and pull a model first if you want summaries
// use cases

What you can build

  • Take meeting notes in regulated or confidential settings where cloud tools are banned

Questions, answered

Who maintains meetily?

meetily is maintained by the Zackriya-Solutions organization/account on GitHub, together with open-source contributors, in the public repository Zackriya-Solutions/meetily.

Is meetily free to use?

Yes — the code is open source under the MIT license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.

Does meetily need a paid API key?

No API key is required for the core workflow — transcription and Ollama summaries are local. An optional custom OpenAI endpoint can be configured if you want it.

How does meetily compare to Otter.ai / Fireflies?

Those cloud assistants are effortless but upload your audio; Meetily keeps everything on your machine, free — you provide the computer and a bit of setup.

How do I get started with meetily?

Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
