minutes

Local-first meeting transcription and conversation memory app whose live voice path runs its evaluations through Jev.

Overview

Minutes is a free, open-source conversation memory app. It records and transcribes meetings, calls, voice memos and dictation on your device and stores them as Markdown files in ~/meetings/, which Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients can search. Capture, transcription and storage are local; only context you authorise goes to a cloud assistant.

According to the list entry, its live voice path runs its evaluations through Jev; the fetched README excerpt does not describe that integration, so which decisions Jev makes is not documented here. The app ships as a desktop app, a Rust CLI (minutes-cli) and an npm MCP server (minutes-mcp). It is for people who want their own meeting memory available to the AI tools they already use.

How it works

  1. Record with minutes record and stop with minutes stop to transcribe locally.
  2. Store meetings as Markdown plus YAML in ~/meetings/.
  3. Expose them to an agent via the minutes-mcp server.
  4. Live voice path runs evaluations through Jev (per list summary).

Strengths

  • Local capture, transcription and storage.
  • Plain Markdown files you own.
  • Works with many MCP clients.

Caveats

  • Jev usage is only stated in the list summary; specifics are undocumented in the README excerpt.
  • Cloud assistants receive whatever meeting context you authorise.

Getting started

brew install --cask silverstein/tap/minutes (or cargo install minutes-cli), then claude mcp add minutes -- npx -y minutes-mcp and minutes demo --full.
