Meemo AI

Meemo AI lives in the menu bar and listens to both system audio and your microphone, so it works with any meeting app without a bot joining the call. Transcription runs on the Mac in real time. You can ask questions during a meeting and get answers based on the live transcript, and each session ends with a summary and action items. Cloud language models are optional; you can use a local model and stay offline. It is built Japanese-first with full English support, and it suits people who want meeting notes that stay on their own machine.

The Mac app needs macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon. The official build is signed with a Developer ID and notarized, so it opens without a workaround. The free tier covers real-time transcription, unlimited history, summaries and local or bring-your-own-key models. Pro costs 600 yen a month or 5,800 yen a year, with a 14-day trial, and adds calendar linking and a few other features; its checks run against a license on the server. The code is GPL-3.0, and the README says the repository is the source of the official builds.
