Transcripted is live — free, open source, and yours

transcripted.app is live.

Transcripted is a macOS app that records and transcribes your meetings. Entirely on your device. No cloud. No subscription. No bot joining your call.

Here’s what it does:

It transcribes. Parakeet TDT V3 runs on your Mac’s Neural Engine — the same chip that handles Face ID. Fast, accurate, offline. Everything stays on your machine.

It knows who’s talking. Speaker diarization runs locally too. After a few meetings, it starts recognizing the same voices across calls. Speaker 1 becomes Nathan. Speaker 2 becomes Sarah. It builds that knowledge quietly, in a SQLite database on your Mac that only you can access.

It gets out of the way. A floating pill in the corner. Hit record. That’s it. Auto-detects Zoom, Meet, Teams, FaceTime. Saves timestamped, speaker-labeled Markdown to ~/Documents/Transcripted/.

I built this because the alternatives all have the same problem: they need your audio. Otter, Fireflies, Granola — they’re all sending your calls to a server somewhere. Every salary conversation, every strategy call, every candid 1:1. That data deserves better than a Terms of Service promise.

The free tier on most of these is also fake-free — 300 minutes a month, then it cuts off. Transcripted doesn’t have a meter. It runs on your Neural Engine which costs $0 per minute to operate.

It’s MIT licensed. Fork it, build on it, ship it to your team. The code is at github.com/r3dbars/transcripted.

Requires M1 or later, macOS 14.2+. Download at transcripted.app.

This is the first public release. There’s more coming.
