Two local-first Tauri apps built on similar technology. Meetily is open source with a new Pro tier. Clearminutes adds speaker diarization, integrations, guided onboarding, and active commercial development.
Two solid local-first tools with different priorities.
Meetily is an impressive open-source project; local Whisper transcription, Tauri-based, MIT licensed, now with Windows support and a $10/mo Pro tier for hosted AI credits. Clearminutes takes the same local-first foundation and adds speaker diarization, integrations (TickTick, Outline), guided onboarding, Windows and Linux support, and active commercial development. Choose Clearminutes for the polished product; choose Meetily if you want a fully auditable MIT codebase.
