Earshot
AI meeting notes. No bot in your call.
Earshot records meetings right on your PC — both sides of the conversation, in any app — then turns them into clean notes, action items and answers. Free and open source when you bring your own AI keys, or let Earshot Plus handle everything for $15 a month.

Everything a bot notetaker does — without the bot.
Records where the meeting happens
Zoom, Teams, Meet, a phone on speaker — if you can hear it, Earshot can record it. It captures your microphone and the other side as separate channels, with no browser extensions and no meeting-app integrations to break. Call detection notices when a meeting starts and offers to hit record so you don't have to.
Transcripts that know who said what
Because your voice and theirs are recorded on separate channels, speaker attribution isn't a guess — "Me" and "Them" are physically separate audio. Multi-hour meetings are handled automatically: Earshot splits long recordings at quiet moments and stitches the transcript back together.
Notes that end with action, not homework
Every meeting gets a tight summary, the key decisions, and a list of suggested action items — suggestions, because you approve, edit or dismiss each one before it counts. If the meeting named a deadline, the due date is filled in; if it didn't, it stays blank instead of being invented. Open items from every meeting roll up into one to-do list on your Overview.
Ask Earshot anything
"What did we agree with the builder about the retaining wall?" Ask across one project or every meeting you've ever recorded, and get an answer with quoted receipts — every claim is backed by a line from a real transcript, verified before it's shown.
Organised the way you work
Group meetings into colour-coded projects, drag and drop to file them, and filter your Overview by project. Walking into a follow-up? Earshot preps a brief from your past meetings so the context is already in the room.
Plays well with your tools
Send approved action items to Todoist with one click — due dates included. Fire a webhook when notes are ready and route them anywhere Zapier or Make can reach: Slack, Notion, your CRM. Share a meeting as a clean, self-contained page with a click.
Your meetings are nobody else's business.
Recordings are stored on your PC — there is no Earshot server copy.
Self-hosting? Audio goes only to the AI providers you configure, with your keys.
On Earshot Plus, audio passes through our proxy to be transcribed and is discarded — processed, never stored.
Your conversations are never used to train AI models.
Record. Read. Act.
