The open-source Fellow alternative
Fellow A meeting-management tool with agendas, collaborative notes and an AI notetaker add-on. ParleyNotes does the same core job — accurate transcripts and AI notes — but as an open-source app that runs entirely in your browser, so your meetings stay private and it’s free for individuals.
Per-seat SaaS focused on agendas and workflows; AI recording in its cloud.
Why teams switch to ParleyNotes
- ✓Focused on fast, private transcription rather than a full meeting-workflow suite.
- ✓On-device processing, no cloud upload of audio.
- ✓Free for individuals; open source.
- ✓Drop into any meeting without onboarding a whole team.
Audio is transcribed in your browser with Whisper. Nothing is uploaded to a server — your meetings never leave your machine.
MIT-licensed and self-hostable. Read the code, fork it, or run it inside your own network. No vendor lock-in.
Unlike notetaker bots, ParleyNotes captures the meeting tab's audio directly. No awkward 'ParleyNotes has joined' in the participant list.
Unlimited recordings, transcripts and notes at no cost. Pay only for team workspaces, SSO and a supported self-host bundle.
