Meetily is an open-source, self-hosted AI meeting assistant (Tauri/Rust + Next.js) that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings entirely on-device. Transcription runs locally via Whisper/Parakeet models with speaker diarization, and no audio leaves the machine. For summaries, users choose a local LLM through Ollama or bring their own provider API key for Anthropic Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, or OpenAI, including a Custom OpenAI-compatible Endpoint option. MIT licensed and free as a Community Edition, with a paid Pro tier (from $10/user/month) and an optional Hosted AI summary service. Distributed as native macOS and Windows installers; Linux is build-from-source. Repo has ~12.8k stars and is actively maintained (v0.4.0, June 2026).

Why this trust score (85/100)

Trust measures how the tool treats your API key and how much of that has been verified. It contains no popularity signal.

  • Key Safety 23/25: The key is held on your own device.
  • Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
  • Transparency 20/20: Source is public under MIT, so anyone can check how the key is handled.
  • Privacy 14/15: Local-first: it works without sending your data anywhere. Can be self-hosted, so the data path stays inside infrastructure you control.
  • Maintenance 10/10: Actively developed: commits within the last three months.
  • Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.

What was checked

Verification tier RESEARCH_ASSISTED, derived from the evidence below and not set by hand.

  • [REPORTED · RESEARCH] This listing was compiled by an AI-assisted research pass over the tool's public website, README and documentation. No person independently confirmed it.
  • [STRONG · SOURCE_SCAN] Supports a local model backend, so it can run with no cloud provider key at all. source
  • [CONFIRMED · SOURCE_SCAN] Most recent commit 2026-06-05, about 2 month(s) ago. source

How your API key is handled

Your API key is stored locally on your device. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.

Setup

Open settings, paste your provider API key, choose a model, and start. The key stays on your device.
