See it while you talk
A live transcript as the meeting happens, and a structured summary the moment it ends.
Q3 Roadmap Sync
Launch on the 14th — v1 is core capture.
Import deferred by one week.
- 00:02 Speaker 1
Let's lock the launch date before we get into scope.
- 00:09 Speaker 2
The 14th works if onboarding is ready by then.
- 00:21 Speaker 1
Onboarding is the risk. Can we cut the import step for v1?
- 00:33 Speaker 2
Yes — ship core capture first, add import the week after.
- 00:48 Speaker 1
Agreed. I'll send the updated timeline today.
Live transcription while you take notes.

Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Professional audio capture
Microphone and system audio mixed with smart ducking and clipping prevention, so every voice is clear.
Questions, answered
- Is muesly really free?
- Yes. muesly is free and open source under the MIT license. There is no paid tier and no account.
- Where does my data go?
- Recordings, transcripts, and summaries are processed and stored on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly configure a cloud LLM provider for summaries.
- Can I verify the privacy claims?
- Yes. The full source is on GitHub under the MIT license, so you or your security team can read the code and watch the network yourself.
- Does it work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?
- Yes. muesly captures system audio alongside your microphone, so it works with any call. No bot joins the meeting.
