Minutes

Minutes records and transcribes meetings, calls, voice memos, and dictation on your own machine, then lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any other MCP client search the history you choose to share. Meeting context stops living inside a vendor's workspace and starts living in files you can grep.

Capture, transcription, and storage all run locally. Each meeting is a plain Markdown file in a meetings directory in your home folder, carrying structured YAML frontmatter with the title, date, duration, action items and their assignees, and the decisions taken. Text leaves the machine only when you send authorized context to a cloud agent or summarizer.

Five surfaces read those same local files.

• Desktop app: menu bar capture along with Recall, documents, and Coach.
• CLI: 58 commands for recording, processing, search, import, and automation.
• MCP server: 34 local meeting tools and resources for any MCP client.
• Claude Code plugin: 23 skills covering prep, capture, live help, debrief, and memory workflows.
• SDK: TypeScript access to the meeting files without going through MCP.

Install through a Homebrew cask, a Homebrew formula, cargo for the CLI, or npx for the MCP server, and a demo command seeds five sample meetings so the search can be tried with no microphone. Sensitive meetings save typed markers without audio and default to restricted, with consent reminders and provenance to help you disclose recording. It is MIT licensed, with no paid tier for anything in the repository.
