Local-first meeting transcription and summarization: record, transcribe, diarize, and
summarize meetings entirely on-device, with a native macOS menu-bar app on top of the
CLI.
Highlights
- License cleanup: LICENSE-MIT merged into a single LICENSE.md (Inherited work / MIT,
and Work added in this fork / PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0), both license bodies
byte-preserved. - CLI cleanup: the
ownscribecompat alias is gone; onlyclewis installed. - README cut from 609 to 116 lines: Quickstart up top, full configuration/backend
detail moved todocs/configuration.md, full command reference and the macOS app
internals moved todocs/advanced.md. - Built on the ownscribe -> Clew rebrand: a native SwiftUI menu-bar app (three-column
library window, claim anchoring on every summary point, an RMS envelope strip,
hardware-verified mic mute), voiceprint-based speaker enrollment and naming, and a
backfillcommand for older meetings.
Installing the app
Download Clew.app.zip below, unzip, and drag Clew.app wherever you keep apps. The
build is self-signed, not notarized (personal/solo use, no Apple Developer account):
macOS Gatekeeper will refuse a plain double-click on first launch. Right-click the app
and choose Open once to get past it; every launch after that works normally.
Everything the app does also works as a CLI: see the
README for the uvx/uv tool install paths.
