meetingcli

A CLI tool that records meetings (mic + system audio), transcribes them using Mistral Voxtral, and generates summaries using Claude Haiku 4.5.

Install

brew install devbydaniel/tap/meeting

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/devbydaniel/meetingcli.git
cd meetingcli
make build

Prerequisites

brew install ffmpeg

• ffmpeg — records mic audio and merges audio streams
• Screen recording permission — required for system audio capture (macOS will prompt on first use)

Run meeting doctor to verify everything is ready.

Setup

Set your API keys:

export MEETINGCLI_MISTRAL_API_KEY="your-key"
export MEETINGCLI_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key"

Or in ~/.config/meetingcli/config.toml:

mistral_api_key = "your-key"
anthropic_api_key = "your-key"

Usage

meeting                          # record, Ctrl+C to stop → transcribe → summarize
meeting --name "standup"         # with a name
meeting list                     # list past meetings
meeting doctor                   # check prerequisites

meeting start also works as an alias for meeting.

How it works

meeting start captures two audio streams in parallel:

1. System audio — via ScreenCaptureKit (macOS 12.3+), taps directly into the OS audio mixer. Works with any output device including Bluetooth headphones.
2. Mic audio — via ffmpeg from the default input device.

Press Ctrl+C to stop. The tool then:

1. Merges system + mic audio into recording.wav
2. Transcribes via Mistral Voxtral (with speaker diarization)
3. Summarizes via Claude Haiku 4.5

Each meeting produces:

~/meetings/2026-02-06_14-00-00/
├── recording.wav      # merged (used for transcription)
├── system.wav         # system audio
├── mic.wav            # mic audio
├── transcript.md
└── summary.md

Configuration

~/.config/meetingcli/config.toml:

meetings_dir = "~/meetings"
mistral_api_key = ""
anthropic_api_key = ""
folder_template = "{{.Year}}-{{.Month}}-{{.Day}}_{{.Hour}}-{{.Minute}}-{{.Second}}{{if .Name}}_{{.Name}}{{end}}"
# summary_prompt = "Custom prompt here"

Requirements

• macOS 12.3+
• ffmpeg
• Mistral API key
• Anthropic API key
