Note67 - Private Meeting Notes Assistant

Note67 includes sophisticated audio processing to enhance clarity. Speaker Distinction automatically separates your voice from other meeting participants by leveraging microphone input and system audio capture. This dual-source approach allows the assistant to differentiate who is speaking, making meeting notes far more structured and readable. In practice, when you are in a virtual meeting, Note67 captures both your voice (through the mic) and the output of the meeting app (system audio), and it intelligently labels segments. Complementing this is Echo Handling, which uses smart Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and deduplication filters to eliminate speaker echo that can occur when using speakers instead of headphones. This ensures that repeated or feedback-created audio artifacts are not transcribed, preserving the cleanliness of the transcript. These audio-enhancement features make Note67 suitable for real-world meeting conditions, delivering accurate and noise-free records.

Once a meeting transcript is ready, Note67’s Private AI Summaries let you generate concise, intelligent summaries directly on your device using Ollama and any compatible local large language model. This feature eliminates the need for cloud-based AI services like OpenAI or Gemini, keeping the entire summarization workflow entirely private. You have full control over which LLM to use—be it a lightweight model for speed or a more powerful one for deeper analysis. The summaries highlight key points, decisions, and action items, turning lengthy transcripts into actionable meeting notes. With no data leaving your machine, even highly confidential discussions can be summarized safely. This local AI approach not only protects sensitive information but also avoids recurring API costs and internet dependency. Whether you are a developer experimenting with open models or a business user needing reliable meeting reports, Note67 delivers unmatched privacy without sacrificing intelligence.

Note67 operates as a native desktop application for Windows and macOS, built with Tauri v2 and React 19. After a one-time installation, it works entirely offline. The workflow is straightforward: you start a recording session, and Note67 accesses your microphone and system audio via ScreenCaptureKit (on macOS) or equivalent APIs. The audio feeds are processed in real time; whisper-rs performs speech-to-text, the VAD engine filters out silence and echo, and the output is stored locally in a SQLite database. Users can view the live transcription in a clean, minimal interface that offers light and dark modes. After the meeting, with a single click, you can generate an AI summary using your local Ollama setup. All configurations, from Whisper model selection to Ollama server preferences, are managed through a settings panel. The result is a seamless, self-contained system that respects your privacy at every step.

Consider a product manager in a confidential roadmap meeting. Using Note67, they can capture the full discussion with live transcription, automatically distinguish speakers, and later generate a private summary without ever exposing corporate secrets. A freelance consultant conducting client interviews can record sessions and instantly produce detailed notes for reference, all while assuring clients that no data is stored in the cloud. Developers who prefer open-source tools can integrate Note67 into their workflow, customize the LLM for domain-specific summaries, and even contribute to the codebase. Legal professionals who require offline documentation can use the app to securely archive meeting minutes. In each scenario, the outcome is the same: accurate, searchable meeting records with zero privacy trade-offs. Note67 empowers users to focus on the conversation, knowing that documentation is handled reliably and privately.

Note67 caters to privacy-conscious professionals, remote workers, developers, and anyone who handles sensitive meetings on Windows 10+ or macOS 13+. The application is completely free and open source, with no hidden costs, subscriptions, or account requirements. Its tech stack—Rust, Tauri, React, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, whisper-rs, and Ollama—ensures top-tier performance and modifiability. Because it is open source under a permissive license, users can audit the code, suggest improvements, or tailor it to their needs. The platform choice of Windows and macOS makes it accessible to most desktop users. In a world where data privacy is increasingly rare, Note67 stands out by offering a capable, local-first meeting notes assistant that doesn’t compromise on features. It proves that you don’t need the cloud to have intelligent meeting documentation; you just need the open source tools and the commitment to keep your data yours.
