Start it, forget it.

Join any meeting

Open Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or whatever you already use. talat notices when a conferencing app grabs your microphone and starts recording quietly in the background. You get a brief notification, nothing more.

Speak freely

talat records every voice in the room, transcribes both sides in real time, and attributes each line to the speaker who said it. Edit, split, or reassign any segment without stopping the meeting.

Come back when you need it

When the meeting ends, a local LLM generates a summary with key points, decisions, and action items. talat never steals focus or demands your attention - your notes, summaries, and transcripts are waiting when you want them, fully searchable and exportable.

Key points

• Auth endpoints completed yesterday
• Webhook handler blocked on rate limiter PR
• Deployment target: end of week

Action items

• →James to review rate limiter today
• →You to bump staging environment

Good to know: talat can run alongside your existing meeting tool. If you already use Granola, Otter, or anything else, run them side by side - no need to switch on day one.

You control your data.

Transcription runs on-device, using hardware acceleration where available. Summaries are generated by a local LLM. Recordings, transcripts, and notes are stored in a local database that never leaves your machine.

If you’d prefer to use a cloud LLM for summaries, that’s your choice. You choose the provider, you supply the API key, you decide who to trust and when. It’s your relationship and your business.

You control your experience.

We want to empower our users, so we’ve tried to make everything in talat configurable. If there’s something you want to tweak but can’t, please tell us about it.

Bring your own LLM

Use the built-in on-device model, or bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, or OpenRouter - which alone gives you access to hundreds of frontier and open-source models.

Custom system prompts

Control exactly how meetings are summarised. Write your own prompt or tweak the defaults.

Auto-export to folder

Save notes to Obsidian, iCloud, Dropbox, or wherever you keep your files.

Webhook export

Push meeting data to any HTTP endpoint. Auth headers, retry logic, Markdown or JSON.

MCP server

Connect Claude Code or any stdio MCP client directly to your meeting history.

Optional audio playback

Click any line in the transcript to listen back to that moment.

Where your data lives.

Plenty of tools take meeting notes for you these days. The differences are in where your audio goes, where your data lives, and who owns it.

You control your workflow.

The best meeting tools out there are genuinely excellent but they route everything through third-party systems, store your data in someone else’s servers, and cap how long you can keep it (or charge you a monthly fee to retain it). We wanted something with the same quality but without those constraints, and which respects the sensitivity of recorded conversations.

talat is a one-time purchase. If you use a cloud LLM, you pay the provider directly, and only for what you use.

“Granola but local”

What people are saying

TechCrunch
“Two meetings in and I've already bought a license. I'm really enjoying it, even in these early stages.” - JP, Bluesky
“Most notetakers treat your data like a byproduct. You're treating it like it belongs to you.” - Julian Francis, Product Hunt
“Transcription accuracy is solid, custom LLM prompts let you tweak summaries exactly how you want, and the Obsidian export plus webhooks feel genuinely useful.” - Pearl, Product Hunt
“The ability to extend it with my own instructions is really compelling - being able to guide it into giving the help I want.” - Jamie, Bluesky
“I've wanted 'Granola but completely local' for ages and this is exactly that.” - Sam Rose, Bluesky
“This is the way. When the job can be done on local hardware you already own, it feels wasteful to rent offsite tokens.” - Tom Riedel, Product Hunt
