Decide what you want to achieve with meetily and check the README on GitHub for requirements before installing.
Clone the repository from GitHub (or take the packaged install route in step 3 if the README offers one).
Follow the project's documented install commands — the Run section below lists the exact ones — and add any required API keys or models.
Work through the README's quickstart example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.
Transcription and summarization run on-device; meeting audio does not leave your machine.
Supports Parakeet and Whisper live transcription, which the project describes as up to 4x faster with its Parakeet path.
Attributes transcript lines to speakers so minutes are readable.
Generates meeting summaries with a local model via Ollama — no cloud LLM needed.
Import existing recordings and enhance/transcribe them after the fact (marked Beta in the README).
Professional audio mixing and GPU acceleration support for better capture and speed.
Get the Meetily source (the repo was formerly named meeting-minutes).

Yes — the code is open source under the MIT license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.
No API key is required for the core workflow — transcription and Ollama summaries are local. An optional custom OpenAI endpoint can be configured if you want it.
Those cloud assistants are effortless but upload your audio; Meetily keeps everything on your machine, free — you provide the computer and a bit of setup.
Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
