Steve Cosman · Private, local meeting transcription and summaries.
Biscotti is a Productivity app for Mac. It is free to use. It needs macOS 15 or later.
About
Biscotti records microphone and system audio on a Mac and produces speaker-labeled transcripts, summaries and action items with local AI. It does not join calls as a bot. Calendar integration can suggest recordings, and MCP lets compatible clients search meetings and read notes. Audio and transcripts remain local; offline processing requires downloading models first. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 15 or later; 16 GB RAM is recommended. Grant microphone, system-audio and optional calendar permissions during setup. Free with no account or subscription. The source is available under PolyForm Perimeter License 1.0.1, not a conventional permissive open-source license.
