## What it is
Minutes is an open-source, privacy-first conversation memory app that records meetings, voice memos, and dictation, transcribes them locally (Whisper/Parakeet), and stores them as plain Markdown files in ~/meetings/. It exposes the corpus to AI agents via a CLI, an MCP server with 34 tools, a Claude Code plugin, and a macOS Tauri desktop app.

## Use cases
- search my meeting transcripts with an AI assistant
- transcribe meetings locally without uploading audio
- turn voice memos into searchable markdown notes
- give Claude or Codex access to my meeting decisions
- dictate thoughts at my cursor and store them locally
- keep a private, grep-able archive of meeting commitments
- sync phone voice memos into a local transcript library

## When to choose
- you want local-first transcription and storage with zero cloud uploads
- you use MCP-compatible agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor) and want them to recall meeting context
- you want your notes as plain Markdown files you own forever
- privacy and consent controls (restricted meetings, policy-aware access) matter to you

## When to avoid
- you need a hosted notetaker that joins Zoom/Meet calls automatically
- you need a Windows or Linux desktop GUI (desktop app is macOS-only today)
- you want team-shared, multi-user meeting workspaces with cloud sync
- you need polished managed updates and rollback (updates are manual)
