MeetingInsights for Mac support

Recording and transcription

• Live on-device transcription while you record, using Apple's speech frameworks in macOS 26
• Optional system audio capture, so the other side of a call is transcribed alongside your voice
• Global shortcut to start or stop recording from any app, plus a menu bar timer
• Optionally keep the audio recording alongside the transcript

Minutes and Ask

• Generate minutes with ⌘G: summary, key points, decisions, action items with owners, next steps
• Optional live minutes during long recordings and a suggested meeting title
• Ask a question about a meeting and get an answer drawn only from its transcript and minutes
• All of it runs on your Mac with Apple Intelligence

Import and export

• Import M4A, WAV, MP3 or AIFF files, singly or in a batch
• Export minutes as PDF, Markdown or plain text, and transcripts as text or Markdown
• Edit a transcript and regenerate the minutes afterwards

“Apple Intelligence is turned off”

• Open System Settings › Apple Intelligence & Siri and turn it on. Settings › Intelligence in the app has a button that takes you there
• Recording and transcription work regardless

“Apple Intelligence is getting ready”

• The on-device model is still downloading or preparing. Try again in a few minutes

System audio isn't being captured

• Check System Settings › Privacy & Security › Screen & System Audio Recording and make sure MeetingInsights is allowed
• The recording screen shows a button that opens the right pane

Does it record the other person on a call?

Yes, if you turn on “Capture system audio”. The app captures what your Mac is playing, mixes it with your microphone, and transcribes both. macOS asks for permission the first time. You can switch it off per recording or in Settings.

My Mac has no microphone. Can I still use it?

Yes. On a Mac mini or Mac Studio with no microphone, turn on “Capture system audio” and the app records the call audio on its own.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. The app contains no networking code. Recording, transcription, minutes and Ask all run on your Mac, and your meetings stay in the app's sandbox until you export or delete them.

Where are my recordings stored?

Inside the app's sandbox container, in Application Support. Audio is only kept if you turn on “Keep audio recordings” in Settings. Deleting a meeting deletes its minutes and any retained audio.

Can I edit a transcript?

Yes. Open the meeting and use Edit in the transcript section. You can regenerate minutes afterwards with ⌘G.

How do I export?

Use File › Export, the Export button in the toolbar, or ⇧⌘E for PDF. Minutes export as PDF, Markdown or plain text; transcripts as text or Markdown. ⇧⌘C copies minutes as Markdown.

Is there an iPhone version?

Yes. MeetingInsights for iPhone is a separate, free app with the same on-device approach. There is also an open-source Linux version.
