AI meeting notes without a bot
Muesli records from your Mac instead of joining Zoom, Meet, or Teams as another attendee.
Only Notes. No uninvited bots.
Muesli records from your own Mac, captures microphone and computer audio, and turns the transcript into meeting notes you can actually review. The meeting does not need another participant named “AI Notetaker.”
Local meeting transcription
Speech-to-text runs on-device with CoreML and Apple Silicon. The transcript is created on your machine before any optional summary step.
Private meeting notes for Mac
Meetings, transcripts, and exports live in local app storage, with optional providers only when you ask Muesli to summarize.
Most meeting notes should begin with a transcript you control.
A summary is only useful if you can check it. Muesli keeps the raw meeting record close: what you said, what came through your speakers, and the notes generated from that transcript. Use it for standups, customer calls, research chats, interviews, or the messy internal meeting where the real decisions happen.
Start from the meeting you already have
Muesli can surface upcoming calls from Calendar, extract meeting links, and let you join, record, or do both without sending a bot into the room.
Capture both sides locally
The app records your microphone and system audio from your own Mac, then uses local speech recognition to build the transcript.
Turn the transcript into notes
Keep the raw transcript, generate structured notes with your chosen summary backend, and export notes or the full meeting as Markdown or PDF.
Meeting memory should not require renting another attendee.
Bot-based notetakers are convenient until the room changes because they are there. Muesli takes a quieter route: record from the machine you control, keep the transcript reviewable, and use summaries as a layer on top of the source material rather than a replacement for it.
No bot-shaped social tax
Some meetings should not start with a mystery participant joining the call. Muesli listens from your own computer, so the capture layer stays out of the guest list.
Raw transcript stays reviewable
Summaries are useful, but they are not a source of truth. Muesli keeps the transcript close so you can check names, decisions, and action items before sharing notes.
Built for messy real calls
Meetings have interruptions, system audio, people talking over each other, and app switching. Muesli is designed around that desktop reality rather than a perfect recording studio.
Keep the notes useful, but keep the source nearby.
Muesli can generate structured meeting notes, action items, and summaries, then export them as PDF or Markdown. If the wording matters, jump back to the transcript before treating the notes as the record.
Notes
Clean summary, decisions, action items, and follow-ups.
Transcript
The raw meeting text stays available for review and correction.
Export
Save notes, transcript, or the full meeting as Markdown or PDF.
What “without a bot” means here.
Short answers for the parts people usually want clear before trusting meeting notes software.
Does Muesli join my meeting as a bot?
No. Muesli records from your Mac, using your microphone and system audio, so it does not need to appear as another participant in Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or other calls.
Is meeting transcription local?
The speech-to-text path runs on-device using Apple Silicon, CoreML, and local ASR models. Optional summaries can use services such as OpenAI, OpenRouter, ChatGPT, or Ollama depending on your setup.
Where are meeting transcripts and notes stored?
Muesli stores dictations, transcripts, and meeting notes in local app storage on your Mac. You can export notes, transcripts, or the full meeting as Markdown or PDF.
Can Muesli capture Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and Slack calls?
Muesli captures audio from your own computer rather than depending on a specific meeting provider. It is designed for common meeting surfaces such as Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and browser-based calls.
What permissions are needed for meeting notes?
Meeting capture uses microphone permission for your voice, Screen Recording or Screen & System Audio Recording for computer audio, and optional Calendar access for upcoming meeting detection. Camera state may help detect active meetings, but Muesli is not recording video.
Are AI meeting notes always accurate?
No transcript or summary system should be treated as perfect. Review the transcript and generated notes before relying on them as a record, sending them to teammates, or using them for decisions.
Try meeting notes that do not enter the room before you do.
Mac-native, local-first, and built around a transcript you can inspect.
