Lalela
Private by design · no meeting bots

Turn every meeting into action.

Lalela records the whole conversation, transcribes it on your device, tells speakers apart, and turns it into summaries, tasks and answers — without your audio ever leaving your device.

Mac: macOS 14.2+, Apple Silicon · Windows 10 or 11, x64 · iPhone & iPad · free to start · free monthly AI included

Prefer not to use the Store on Windows? Download the installer. It's unsigned, so Windows will warn that the publisher is unverified: choose More info → Run anyway, or Run.

Records both sides — no bot

Your mic and your computer's own audio, on a Mac or a Windows PC, captured directly. Nothing joins the call; nobody sees a "notetaker" participant.

Transcribed on your device

Whisper runs on your own Mac, PC, iPhone or iPad (on a Mac, on the Apple Silicon GPU). Audio stays on the device and is discarded after transcription.

Knows who said what

On-device speaker separation labels every line, so notes read like the conversation they came from.

AI on your terms

Fully offline with a local model or Apple Intelligence, a free monthly allowance when you sign in, or your own key. You choose — per meeting.

Summaries, prompts, workflows

One-click summaries in your own prompt styles, and multi-step workflows that turn a transcript into minutes, emails or reports.

Action items your team can see

Lalela extracts the to-dos, matches assignees, and puts them on a shared kanban — with an activity feed for the team.

Share by folder

Everything is clean Markdown you own. Share a folder with viewer, editor or admin roles; subfolders follow automatically.

Find anything fast

Full-text search across meetings, in-transcript search, clickable timestamp citations, and a ⌘K palette for everything.

A wiki that writes itself

Meetings compound into living pages for people, projects and topics — and every fact links back to the exact moment it was said.

Bring your other notetakers

Connect Fathom, Read AI, Granola, Fireflies or Microsoft Teams and your existing meetings sync in automatically — no re-recording, no copy-paste.

Import anything

Drop in audio or video files and they run the full on-device pipeline; DOCX, PDF and VTT transcripts import with speakers intact and provenance marked.

Report bad AI output

Every AI summary, note and chat answer has a Report button, so anything wrong or inappropriate reaches us for review.

Always up to date

Signed, notarized Mac app with built-in updates. On Windows, the Microsoft Store keeps it current. The iPhone and iPad app is on the App Store.

Three ways to run the AI. All of them yours.

Fully offline

Download a local model once and summarize with the lid closed on the plane. Nothing leaves the Mac.

Free allowance

Sign in and get a monthly AI allowance on us — no card, no key, no setup.

Your own key

Bring an OpenRouter key for unlimited use of any model, billed to you directly.

Keep your notetaker. Bring your meetings.

Not ready to switch? Connect the tools you already use and every meeting flows into Lalela automatically — searchable, chat-able and feeding your team's knowledge base, with provenance on every import.

Sign in once in Settings → Connections. New meetings sync automatically, history included.

Your conversations are yours

Recording and transcription happen on your device; audio is discarded after transcription and notes are saved as Markdown files you own. Sync only happens when you sign in, cloud AI only runs when you choose it, and voiceprints never leave your device. Nothing is used for training, and nothing is shared unless you share it. The web app adds browser recording for the days you can't install anything.

Don't take our word for it. The on-device part of Lalela is open source: read the code that handles your audio in Lalela Community (Apache-2.0) on GitHub.
