Get started with talat
Join any meeting.
Open Zoom, Google Meet, or whatever you already use. talat notices when a conferencing app is active and either starts recording in the background or prompts you, depending on your preference.
Focus on the conversation.
talat records every voice on the call, transcribes every word in real time, and attributes every line to the speaker who said it. You can edit, split, or reassign live transcript without stopping the meeting.
Catch up later.
A local LLM generates a summary with key points, decisions, and action items from every meeting. talat never steals focus or demands your attention: your notes, summaries, and transcripts are waiting when you want them.
Never say ‘Huh?’ again.
talat transcribes every word as spoken, with sub-second end-to-end latency. Lose your concentration for a moment, and the transcript keeps up. Scroll back and catch up the second you tune back in.
Stay focused.
talat starts recording when a call starts and stops when a call ends. It transcribes cleanly whether you’re on headphones or using system speakers. Calendar reminders nudge you before scheduled meetings begin. You can hide talat completely, forget all about it, and fully focus on your conversations instead.
See who said what.
talat learns your colleagues by voice and labels every line they say in every meeting. Tag a speaker once and they’re recognised everywhere: past meetings, present meetings, and meetings you haven’t had yet. Search any phrase against any voice.
Keep using the tools you already love.
talat is built to work alongside the tools you already use, not replace them. Pick the LLM you trust, write the summaries the way you like, push the output to the tools you use.
MCP for any AI assistant
Connect Claude or any MCP-aware AI assistant directly to your meeting history. Mid-meeting too. Ask ‘what did we just decide?’ without breaking your flow.
Customise the summary prompt
Rewrite the summarisation prompt in talat’s settings to match the kind of meeting notes you actually want.
Push anywhere via webhooks
Send transcripts and summaries to any HTTP endpoint. Auth headers, retry logic, Markdown or JSON.
Bring your own LLM
Run on-device with the built-in model, or bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama instance. Your key, your account, your bill.
Works with the WiFi off.
talat doesn’t need the internet, which means it works equally well for confidential in-person conversations as it does for remote conferencing calls. All features run completely offline, entirely on your device.
Private by architecture.
The best meeting tools out there are 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.
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 (they usually give better results on longer meetings), 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.
talat is a one-time purchase. If you use a cloud LLM, you pay the provider directly, and only for what you use.
Different by design.
Plenty of applications exist to take meeting notes for you. The main differences are in where and how your audio is processed, where your data lives and who owns it, and how you’re tracked.
| talat | Granola desktop | |
|---|---|---|
| Audio processing | On-device | Cloud |
| Audio leaves your device | Never | Yes |
| Meeting bot | No | No |
| Models trained on your data | No; nothing leaves your device | Yes, unless you opt out |
| Works offline | Yes | No |
| Account required | No | Yes |

What people are saying.
“Simple, efficient, and exactly what I was looking for to streamline my workflow with meetings. I love it.”
Amy Saville
“Two meetings in and I've already bought a license. I'm really enjoying it, even in these early stages.”
JP
Bluesky
“I've wanted 'Granola but completely local' for ages and this is exactly that.”
Sam Rose
Bluesky
“You convinced me to buy before my trial was even halfway through, which I don't think has ever happened to me before.”
Verified customer
“I've been using talat for transcribing meetings locally on my Mac. Works nicely with my Claude workflow via its MCP connector, calendar integration and speaker detection. One-off payment, no subscription. Recommended.”
Barry Frost
Bluesky
“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
“Most notetakers treat your data like a byproduct. You're treating it like it belongs to you.”
Julian Francis
Product Hunt
“Just press-ganged a friend into a zoom that basically turned into an advertisement for talat, and picked up a license.”
Ted Han
Bluesky
“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
“This is the way. When the job can be done on local hardware you already own, it feels wasteful to rent offsite tokens.”
