Your conversations stay yours

Meeting audio, transcripts, and summaries are processed and stored on your device. muesly is built for people whose conversations can't live on someone else's servers.

Optional anonymized usage analytics is off until you opt in, and cloud LLM summaries are used only if you configure a provider. Read the privacy policy.

Built for real meetings

Everything you need to capture a conversation, nothing that phones home.

Local-first transcription

Whisper models run on-device with GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon, CUDA, and Vulkan. No cloud round-trip, no usage caps.

Summaries your way

A local LLM by default, or bring Ollama, Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Works everywhere

Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Professional audio capture

Microphone and system audio mixed with smart ducking and clipping prevention, so every voice is clear.

Questions, answered

Is muesly really free?
Yes. muesly is free for personal and noncommercial use under the PolyForm Noncommercial license. There is no paid tier and no account. Commercial use requires a separate license.
Where does my data go?
Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are processed and stored on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly configure a cloud LLM provider for summaries.
Does it need an internet connection?
Core recording, transcription, local summaries, search, and storage work on your device. An internet connection is only needed for downloads, optional cloud summary providers, and optional anonymous analytics.
Does it work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?
Yes. muesly captures system audio alongside your microphone, so it works with any call. No bot joins the meeting.
Is there a meeting bot?
No. muesly records locally from your own audio. Nothing joins your call and no participant sees a recorder.
Do I need an account?
No account, no sign-up, no email. Download and run.
What analytics does muesly collect?
Optional anonymized usage analytics helps fix bugs and improve performance. It is off by default, never includes meeting content, and can be enabled or disabled in settings. Builds compiled without an analytics key have it off entirely.
Which platforms are supported?
Native downloads are available for Apple Silicon macOS, x64 Windows, and x64 Linux as an AppImage or .deb package.
