Notes from building a meeting tool that stays on your computer.
How local transcription works, why answers carry citations, and what changes with each release.
A folder is the whole workflow: recording, projects, notes and backups in unottr
How a watched folder, project scopes, mirrored Markdown notes and verified backups fit together into a meeting library you never have to tend.
Why unottr costs $6.90 once, and what that buys
No subscription, no per-minute billing, MIT-licensed source. Here is the thinking behind a single small price for a local app.
Running unottr fully offline with Ollama or LM Studio
Transcription is already local. This guide adds a local model server so overviews and Ask never leave your computer either.
An answer about your meetings is only useful if you can check it
How Ask and AI overviews in unottr are built so the model cannot invent a timestamp, and why every claim opens the video at the moment it came from.
How local transcription works: from a file in a folder to a speaker-labelled transcript
A walk through the unottr pipeline: speech detection, Whisper in chunks, speaker diarization, and why every stage is a checkpoint.
Why your meeting transcripts belong on your own computer
Most meeting tools rent your own conversations back to you. Here is the case for keeping recordings, transcripts and search local, and what you give up.
