Shmeetings is a desktop app that handles meeting transcription and summarization completely offline. It runs on your computer — nothing gets sent to a cloud server.
What it does
You open the app, hit record (or let it auto-detect when a meeting starts), and it transcribes everything using local speech recognition. When the meeting ends, it generates a summary, action items, and suggested questions — all from models running on your hardware.
Key features
- 100% offline — no internet required after download
- Works with Whisper, Ollama, or any GGUF model you want
- Auto start/stop recording when mic activity starts or stops
- Drag in audio files for transcription (existing recordings)
- Auto-email meeting notes after transcription
- Configurable mic and system audio sources
- Meeting summaries with speaker identification
- Suggested question generation from meeting content
Platforms
macOS and Windows. One license works on both.
Pricing
$39 one-time. No subscription. No tiers. No upsells.
Privacy
Because everything runs locally, there is no data exposure risk. No one else can access your meeting transcripts. No AI company trains on your conversations. It works in a Faraday cage.
Who it is for
Anyone who takes meeting notes and wishes they did not have to. Journalists, lawyers, consultants, remote workers, students — anyone who needs a record of what was said without typing it themselves.
