Quill

Quill records meetings and creates transcripts on your Mac. It's for people who want to keep both the call audio and the resulting text on their own machine.

• Separate audio tracks: Capture your microphone and the call's audio separately.
• Timestamped transcripts: Read a transcript with your microphone track labeled me and the call audio labeled them.
• Automatic transcription: Transcription begins after recording stops, and the app saves a Markdown transcript alongside the audio.

Quill runs in the macOS menu bar and processes transcription on-device. Recordings and transcripts stay on the machine. The me / them labels distinguish the two audio tracks rather than identifying individual participants on the call.

The app requires macOS 15 or later. Apple Silicon is recommended for transcription speed. Quill is open source under the MIT license.
