Meeting Notes is designed to stay light during the meeting and get more useful after it ends.

​
The Flow

  1. Start recording from the Meeting Notes page, the tray menu, or an optional shortcut.
  2. Snaply records the meeting audio on your Mac.
  3. When you stop recording, Snaply transcribes the meeting locally.
  4. If speaker diarization is available, Snaply separates the transcript into speaker turns.
  5. Snaply generates a meeting title and structured notes using the current Writing Assistant model and the selected notes template.
  6. You keep working from the saved meeting: search the transcript, rename speakers, regenerate notes, or open Ask AI.

​
First-Time Setup

Before the first real recording, Snaply may ask you to finish a few checks:
  • Grant Microphone access
  • Review System Audio so calls can capture the other side of the conversation too
  • Download and initialize the meeting diarizer when your Mac supports it
  • Choose English or Multi-language transcription

​
What Runs Locally And What Does Not

These parts stay local:
  • The recording
  • The transcript
  • The saved meeting session
  • Speaker renaming and transcript search
These parts follow your Writing Assistant model setting:
  • Generated title
  • Generated notes
  • Ask AI responses
If Writing Assistant is local, these stay local. If Writing Assistant is cloud, transcript text is sent to the chosen provider for those steps.

​
Best Results

  • Use a decent microphone and avoid overlapping voices when you can.
  • Review System Audio before recording calls.
  • Use Multi-language for meetings that are not English-only.
  • Pick a notes template that matches the meeting type before regenerating notes.
