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.

• 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.

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.

Managed mode (paid) — Upgrade from free tier within the app for higher transcription and summarization limits.

Pre-built binaries are attached to every GitHub Release.

1. Install dependencies

   flutter pub get

2. Generate app icons

   dart run flutter_launcher_icons

3. Run the app

   flutter run -d windows   # or macos / linux

   Sign in on first launch — in managed mode no API keys are needed.

4. Optional: bring your own FAL key

   export FAL_KEY="fal-…"   # bash/zsh
   $env:FAL_KEY = "fal-…"   # PowerShell

   Or use the in-app key dialog (key icon in the app bar).

• System Audio Capture: Supports both microphone and system/loopback recording on Desktop platforms via the shared df_audio_capture library.
• Shared Libraries: This project utilizes the df_flutter_shared ecosystem for core functionalities including audio capture, REST-based Firebase Auth (Windows/Linux), and unique device identification.
