What is Takku?

Takku is a free, open-source menu bar app for Mac that takes meeting notes without a bot joining the call. It records the microphone and system audio of any call app (Zoom, Meet, Teams, Slack and others), transcribes on your Mac, tells the speakers apart, and writes the meeting note and the full transcript as Markdown into a folder you choose or your Obsidian vault.

You choose who writes the summary: a model running on your Mac (Ollama, LM Studio), your own API key, a coding agent CLI you already pay for (Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) or prepaid credit. The audio never leaves your Mac.

Templates decide how each kind of meeting is summarised, a vocabulary teaches it your words and names, the calendar fills in the title and participants, and hooks send every note to Notion, Confluence, git or anywhere else. It can also import audio and video files. No account, no subscription.
