Yogurt Launches Private AI Meeting Notes
Frigade’s Yogurt is a free, MIT-licensed desktop app that records calls without joining as a bot, then produces local transcripts, summaries, answers, and searchable meeting history. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux without an account or cloud backend.
Yogurt’s strongest differentiator is privacy: it brings a cloud-heavy meeting-notes category onto the user’s own hardware.
- –Uses Whisper, Apple SpeechAnalyzer, and llama.cpp with local open-weight models
- –Supports Zoom, Teams, and Meet detection while recording microphone and system audio
- –Offers read-only MCP access so assistants like Claude or ChatGPT can query meeting notes
- –Works offline after downloading models, but requires substantial local storage and at least 8 GB of memory
- –Its no-account, open-source model is compelling, though users still need to handle recording consent and MCP data-sharing settings
