# Overview
> Automatic meeting notes for Mac with recordings, transcripts, summaries, speaker turns, and follow-up help in one flow.
**Your meeting should not end with a blank page.**
[Meeting Notes](/meeting-notes/overview) turns a conversation into something you can actually use:
* A saved recording on your Mac
* A full transcript
* Structured AI notes
* Speaker-aware transcript turns with the meeting diarizer
* Imported recordings when the meeting already happened
* Search and calendar views for finding saved meetings
* Folders with folder-specific templates and Markdown export paths
* Follow-up work through Ask AI
It is Snaply's way of taking you from "*what just happened?*" to "*here is the summary, here are the action items, and here is the follow-up email.*" The main pieces are the [transcript](/meeting-notes/transcripts-and-speakers), [templates](/meeting-notes/templates), [Ask AI](/meeting-notes/ask-ai), and optional [import/export workflows](/meeting-notes/import-export).
## What People Usually Want First
Meeting Notes covers the high-friction parts of meeting capture:
* **Forget-to-start protection** through [automatic detection for supported Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls](/meeting-notes/automatic-detection)
* **Existing recording upload** for `WAV`, `M4A`, and `MP3` files from other devices or apps
* **Recent meeting search** across titles, notes, transcripts, and date ranges
* **Local Markdown export** when notes need to land in Obsidian, Codex workflows, Trello, email drafts, or a folder you already use
* **Speaker-aware transcripts** when the meeting diarizer is available
* **Ask AI follow-up** for action items, decisions, open questions, and post-call emails
## What You Keep
* The audio recording on your Mac
* The transcript
* The generated title
* Structured AI notes from the selected template
* Ask AI conversations linked to that meeting
## The Main Pieces
Understand **recording, transcription, diarization, and note generation**.
Pick or build **note structures that match the kind of meeting you run**.
Ask follow-up questions, draft emails, and keep a **meeting-specific AI chat**.
Search saved meetings and transcripts, rename detected speakers, and review **who said what**.
Reuse your Dictation language choice for **English or 25 European languages**.
Start from the app or tray, then monitor, pause, resume, stop, or cancel from the live indicator.
Browse list or calendar views, create folders, search meetings, and manage saved sessions in bulk.
Let Snaply suggest meeting capture when it detects a supported video call.
Upload existing recordings and keep Markdown copies of generated notes.
## Privacy
**Meeting Notes is local-first.**
Meeting recordings and transcripts stay on your Mac. With the built-in local Writing Assistant model, generated titles, AI notes, and Ask AI can stay local too.
## Good To Know
* Meeting Notes is labeled **Beta** in the app.
* Speaker separation is available with the meeting diarizer on macOS 15 or newer.
* Meeting Notes does **not** have a default shortcut until you assign one.
* Automatic meeting detection can be turned off in **Settings -> Meeting Notes**.
