Meeting notes that never leave your machine

Most AI notetakers record your meetings, then ship every word to a server you don't control. talat does it all on-device: it records both sides of any call, transcribes in real time, labels who said what, and generates summaries with action items, without anything touching the cloud. It works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, and FaceTime, runs even with the WiFi off, and needs no account. Bring your own LLM or use the built-in one. One-time purchase, ten hours free to start.

What is it:

A private meeting notes app that records, transcribes, and summarizes conversations using 100% on-device AI, keeping everything on your computer.

Who is it for:

Professionals and teams who discuss sensitive things in meetings and don't want transcripts living in someone else's cloud.

Alternative to:

Otter, Granola, Fireflies, or Fathom, all of which store your meeting data in the cloud.

Why we like it:

We like talat because your private conversations stay private, by design.
