The open-source AI meeting assistant that keeps your meetings private.
Record or upload a meeting and get an instant transcript and structured notes — transcribed entirely in your browser with Whisper. No bot joins your call, no audio leaves your device, no per-seat fee. The open alternative to Granola and Otter.
No sign-up. Works in Chrome, Edge and Brave.
Why ParleyNotes
100% on-device
Audio is transcribed in your browser with Whisper. Nothing is uploaded to a server — your meetings never leave your machine.
Open source
MIT-licensed and self-hostable. Read the code, fork it, or run it inside your own network. No vendor lock-in.
No bot joins your call
Unlike notetaker bots, ParleyNotes captures the meeting tab's audio directly. No awkward 'ParleyNotes has joined' in the participant list.
Free for individuals
Unlimited recordings, transcripts and notes at no cost. Pay only for team workspaces, SSO and a supported self-host bundle.
How it works
Share your meeting tab (with audio) and your mic — or upload an existing recording. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Whisper runs in your browser via WebGPU/WASM and writes a live transcript as the meeting unfolds.
One click turns the transcript into a summary, decisions and action items. Edit, save locally, or export Markdown.
Transcribe any meeting
Works with every browser-based meeting platform.
A private, open alternative to closed AI notetakers
Built for every kind of meeting
Your meetings, your data.
Free forever for individuals. Company licenses add a shared team workspace, SSO and a supported self-host bundle.
