**Meetily** (`Zackriya-Solutions/meetily`) is an **MIT**-licensed desktop meeting note taker. It captures meeting audio, transcribes it on your own machine with **Whisper** or **Parakeet**, and generates summaries through a local **Ollama** model or an API provider you pick (Claude, Groq, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). The repo names Granola, Otter.ai and Fireflies as the tools it is meant to replace.

## Provenance

- SPDX **MIT**, confirmed by the GitHub license API (`license.spdx_id`, file `LICENSE.md`); the README's license section agrees.
- Identity: canonical `Zackriya-Solutions` org repo, created 2024-12-26, not a fork, not archived. The old `meeting-minutes` URL redirects to the same repository id, so this is the original project rather than a lookalike. Homepage meetily.ai matches the repo.
- Activity as of 2026-10-27 (GitHub API): **32,229 stars, 3,532 forks**, last push 2026-10-24. Releases v0.3.0 (2026-03-03), v0.4.0 (2026-06-05), v0.4.1 (2026-09-12).
- Stack: Tauri desktop app with a Rust backend and Next.js frontend. macOS and Windows installers; Linux is a build-from-source path.
- Self-hosting: yes, it runs on the local machine. It is fully local only when Ollama handles summaries.
- Pricing: the Community Edition is free under MIT. Meetily PRO (a separate codebase) and an Enterprise tier are paid; PRO pricing was not fetched and is not quoted.
- **Vendor claims:** "100% local processing", "Enterprise-Ready" and "#1 self-hosted" come from the repo description and README and were not independently tested.
- Surfaced via an X post in the 2026-10-26 pull (post used for discovery only, not as evidence). Curated and verified in run `2026-10-26-registry-update-01` (step-3 verification, 2026-10-26).

## Why it matters for a GTM stack

Call notes are core sales and customer-success data, and cloud note takers hold a copy of every conversation. Meetily keeps recording and transcription on the rep's laptop, so a lean team can get AI summaries of discovery and renewal calls without adding another vendor that stores customer audio. The tradeoff: it is a desktop app, not a bot that joins calls and writes to the CRM, so getting notes into HubSpot or Salesforce is still on you.
