Quill

What it does

Quill is a desktop meeting assistant for people who want searchable records and follow-up from work conversations, including advisors, founders, operators, and teams. On macOS or Windows, it captures microphone and computer audio without a meeting bot, for online calls or in-person meetings. It transcribes locally and produces transcripts, speaker labels, live minutes, decisions, action items, and follow-up drafts. Users can review, edit, search, and choose whether to keep or delete recordings.

Quill can prepare meeting briefs using calendar context and past decisions. After a meeting, users can ask questions across previous conversations, apply templates, and automate selected follow-ups to connected tools. AI-generated notes can use a local model, the user’s own provider, or Quill’s provided option. Recording and transcription work offline after initial sign-in and speech-model download; external-model note generation requires internet. Quill is audio-only, not a video recorder or conferencing service. The iPhone and Android Companion apps record and sync to the desktop app, and require a paid plan; there is no browser recording or iPad app. Users are responsible for participant notice and compliance with local recording laws.
