Great. I'll draft the release notes today.

How it works

Three steps. No bots, no invites, no uploads.

1

Click the bird

A small cockatiel sits in the corner of your screen. Click him and choose Record meeting — or Just record me for voice memos.

2

Have your meeting

Parley captures both sides and transcribes live, saving to disk as it goes — even an hour-long call is safe if your laptop dies mid-way.

3

Click Stop

The transcript and AI notes open in your browser, speakers labeled and ready to rename.

Everything a meeting bot does — without the bot

Record any call

Captures your microphone and the other participants (system audio) in any app. Works with Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, phone calls in your browser — anything your speakers can play. Requires macOS 14.4+ or Windows 10+.

Who-said-what, offline

Opt-in speaker identification clusters voices on your device with ~40 MB local models and labels the other side Speaker 1, 2, 3. Click a name on the review page to rename them. No voiceprints leave your computer.

AI notes without the cloud

With the free Ollama app (optional), a local model turns the transcript into a summary, decisions, and action items. Skip it and you still get the full timestamped transcript.

A tidy review page

Every meeting gets a self-contained page in your browser — audio player, colored speakers, timestamps — plus a searchable index of all your meetings. No account, no upload; it's all plain files on your disk.

Why not a meeting bot?

Most meeting-notes tools work by joining your call as an extra participant — a "notetaker" bot everyone can see — and then uploading the recording to their cloud for processing. That looks unprofessional in client calls, needs permission from the host, and puts every word of your meeting on someone else's servers. Just Parley records on your side of the call instead: it listens to your mic and your speakers, so nothing joins the meeting and nothing is uploaded. Your clients never know, your IT department never worries, and the transcript exists only on your disk.

Free. Forever.

No subscription, no signup, no per-minute credits.

Common questions

Which meeting apps does it work with?

All of them. Just Parley records system audio — whatever plays through your speakers or headphones — so Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Slack huddles, Discord, and plain browser calls all work without plugins or integrations.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. Recording, transcription, speaker identification, and AI notes all run on your computer. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

How does speaker identification work?

It's an opt-in setting. When a meeting ends, small local models (~40 MB, downloaded once) cluster the voices on the other side and label them Speaker 1, 2, 3 in order of appearance. On the review page you can click a name to rename it — the audio and voice data never leave your device.

Do I need Ollama?

Only for AI notes, and it's optional. Ollama is a free app that runs AI models locally; with it installed, Parley writes a summary, decisions, and action items after each meeting. Without it, you still get the full transcript.

Is it really free?

Yes — free forever, no account, no trial. Just Parley is built by an indie developer; donations are welcome if it saves you time, but never required.
