Askmeety
A Mac app that records and summarizes your meetings without ever sending the audio or transcript to a company's server — everything happens on your own computer, which matters if you discuss anything sensitive on calls.

Description
Most AI meeting-note tools work by sending your call audio to a cloud server to be transcribed and summarized, which is exactly what makes some people uncomfortable using them for anything sensitive — legal discussions, HR conversations, unreleased product plans. Askmeety takes the opposite approach: it processes everything locally on the Mac itself, so the recording and transcript never leave the device in the first place.
It works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, handling automatic transcription and AI-generated summarization entirely on-device via Apple Silicon, with no cloud servers involved and no data used for AI training. It requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and an Apple Silicon Mac (no Intel support). Rather than a subscription, it's sold as a one-time $55 lifetime purchase — no recurring fee, ever.
💬 Our review
The short version: Askmeety is a clear pick if privacy is the actual reason you're looking at a meeting-notes tool — the local-only processing is a genuine architectural difference, not just a marketing claim, since the whole point is that your audio literally cannot reach a third-party server.
Against Otter.ai, the category leader, Askmeety trades away cloud conveniences like cross-device sync and web-based sharing links in exchange for privacy and a one-time $55 fee instead of Otter's ongoing subscription — a good trade if you mostly meet on one Mac and care more about data control than multi-device access. Against the native transcription built into Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet themselves, Askmeety's advantage is working consistently across all of them with one interface and one purchase, rather than relying on each platform's own (often paid, often cloud-based) transcription feature. The real constraint is platform lock-in: Apple Silicon and macOS 14+ only, so it's not an option at all for Windows users or anyone still on an Intel Mac. <!-- ai-generated -->
