Meeting Recorder is a new tool developed for users of Omarchy, a Linux-based operating system derived from Arch Linux and the Hyprland window manager. It allows users to record and transcribe meetings locally, without relying on external services or bots. This makes it a privacy-focused alternative for those who want to keep their meeting data on their own devices. The software records the user’s voice and other participants’ voices on separate audio tracks, enabling clearer separation of speakers. To distinguish between different voices, Meeting Recorder uses a local NVIDIA model called Nemotron 3 Diarization. This technology labels each speaker as "Remote 1," "Remote 2," and so on, which users can then rename for clarity. The transcription is handled by Whisper, an open-source speech recognition model, with the default version being large-v3-turbo, which requires around 1.6 gigabytes of storage. The user interface includes a nostalgic, 1990s-style animated design, and users can edit the transcribed text by hovering over lines to correct, reassign, or delete them. The final output is saved in a ~/Documents/Meetings folder, including both an audio file and a transcript in Markdown format. For longer meetings—those lasting more than three minutes—Meeting Recorder uses a local AI agent (such as Claude Code or Codex) to divide the transcription into chapters or sections. However, users must ensure that no default AI agent is set in their Omarchy system to maintain the local, offline nature of the process. It’s also crucial to remember that recording private conversations without consent may be illegal under the French Penal Code, specifically Article 226-1. Installation of Meeting Recorder is available through Omarchy's edge channel or via a simple one-line script. However, version 1.1.1 has compatibility issues with certain processors, such as the Ryzen 5 5500 and Core Ultra 9 285K, which lack AVX-512 support. A fix is in the works, but users may need to compile the application manually if they need it quickly. For users not running Omarchy, the app will use a standard libadwaita interface without the AI agent. On Windows, a similar tool called Meetily exists, while macOS users can use Kassis by dragging and dropping recordings. For those who prefer self-hosted solutions, Speakr is an available option. The software is open-source and released under the MIT license, with the source code available on GitHub.
