Turn every meeting into action.
Lalela records the whole conversation, transcribes it on your Mac, tells speakers apart, and turns it into summaries, tasks and answers — without your audio ever leaving your device.
macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon · free to start · free monthly AI included
Records both sides — no bot
Your mic and your Mac's system audio, captured directly. Nothing joins the call; nobody sees a "notetaker" participant.
Transcribed on your device
Whisper runs on the Apple Silicon GPU. Audio never leaves your Mac 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, 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.
Always up to date
Signed, notarized Mac app with built-in updates. The iPhone app is live 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 entirely on-device; audio is discarded after transcription and notes are saved as Markdown files you own. 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.
