Self-Hosted Meeting Notes for Security-Conscious Teams
2026-06-07 · 6 min read
For regulated industries and security-conscious teams, sending meeting audio to a third-party SaaS is a non-starter. Self-hosted, open-source meeting notes are the answer.
What 'self-hosted' should mean
- •The app runs inside your network or on infrastructure you control
- •Transcription happens on the user's device or your own hardware
- •The source is open so security can audit it
- •SSO/SAML and an audit log for compliance
The ParleyNotes model
The core app is MIT-licensed and self-hostable for free. A Company license adds a supported Docker/Helm bundle, SSO/SAML, SCIM provisioning, an admin console and an SLA — the pieces an enterprise needs but the open-source build doesn't require you to buy.
Why open source wins the review
Auditability plus on-device processing means there's nothing for an attacker to exfiltrate from a vendor and nothing opaque for your security team to object to.
