GOATLY Meeting Summarizer: Free AI Transcription & Summary
GOATLY is a cross-platform desktop and mobile application designed for free and easy meeting transcription and AI-powered summarization. Use it to record meetings on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, and get instant, searchable transcripts and summaries.
We believe that high-quality meeting transcription and summarization should be accessible to everyone. Our vision is to provide a powerful, privacy-first tool that offers the best of both worlds:
Complete Freedom: A fully open-source experience where you bring your own API keys (FAL, OpenRouter) and maintain total control over your data.
Effortless Productivity: An optional managed mode for those who want a seamless, "just works" experience without managing API keys or infrastructure.
Features
One-click recording — Start and stop your microphone with a single button.
AI transcription — Lightning-fast speech-to-text powered by FAL Wizper.
AI summarization — Get key points and action items automatically via OpenRouter LLMs.
Search & sort — Powerful full-text search across all your past recordings.
Secure key storage — Your API keys are encrypted and stored locally via flutter_secure_storage.
Cross-platform — Native performance on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Deployment modes
Fully open source — Bring your own FAL and OpenRouter API keys. No sign-in required. Complete control, zero cost after free-tier quotas are exhausted (FAL: $5 monthly spend, OpenRouter: variable).
Managed mode (free-tier) — Sign in with Google/email. GOATLY provisions API keys automatically. Free tier covers ~500 minutes of transcription + summaries per month. For more usage, upgrade to a paid tier.
