Synapse Meetings

A macOS app for recording meetings, transcribing them locally, and committing the results to GitHub.

Part of the Synapse ecosystem alongside Synapse Notes.

Download

⬇️ Download the latest release

1. Download SynapseMeetings-<version>.dmg from the release page.
2. Open the DMG and drag Synapse Meetings to your Applications folder.
3. Launch it from Applications or Spotlight.

The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it should launch without Gatekeeper prompts on macOS 14.0 or later.

Auto-updates

Synapse Meetings ships with Sparkle, so once you've installed it you'll get future updates automatically. You can also trigger a check manually from Synapse Meetings → Check for Updates… in the menu bar.

Requirements

• macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
• Apple Silicon strongly recommended. Transcription runs on the Apple Neural Engine via Core ML — Intel Macs will fall back to CPU and may be unusably slow.
• Microphone access (you'll be prompted on first recording)
• An Anthropic API key for AI summarization (optional)
• A GitHub personal access token for commit-to-repo (optional)

Features

• Local audio recording with system + microphone capture
• On-device transcription powered by FluidAudio using the Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 Core ML model (first launch downloads ~470MB of model weights)
• AI-assisted summarization via the Anthropic API
• Commit to GitHub — push transcripts and summaries directly to a repo from the app
• Auto-updating via Sparkle

Building from source

Requires XcodeGen:

brew install xcodegen
git clone git@github.com:dep/synapse-meetings.git
