MeetingMortem
Paste a meeting. Get the post-mortem.
MeetingMortem extracts decisions, owners, and blockers from any meeting transcript — on your Mac, with no network calls in the default path. Paste from Zoom, Otter, Granola, or a plain text file, and the app runs a bundled on-device language model to produce three editable columns: what was decided, who owns what, and what is blocked. Nothing leaves the machine.

What you get
MeetingMortem was built for exactly this.
The core features that make MeetingMortem different from the generic alternatives.
Paste or drop a transcript in any format — Zoom auto-transcript, Otter export, Granola, VTT, SRT, or plain text — and MeetingMortem sanitises timestamps and speaker tags before the model sees them.
On-device extraction via a bundled ~3B-class language model (MLX on Apple Silicon, llama.cpp fallback). No network call is made in the default path; the sandbox is built without the network entitlement.
Three editable columns — Decisions, Owners, Blockers — each rendered as draggable, click-to-edit cards with a verbatim evidence quote from the transcript.
One-click export to Markdown, Slack-formatted text, plaintext, or an email-body scaffold. Copy to clipboard only — no OAuth, no send-from-app.
Local history of up to 50 meetings, each stored as an AES-256-GCM encrypted file with per-file keys held in the macOS Keychain. Pinning exempts up to 10 meetings from the FIFO eviction policy.
Full-text search across history decrypts transcripts in memory only — nothing is written to disk in plaintext during a search.
A note from the studio
“The post-mortem framing is the whole product. It treats every meeting as an event worth documenting forensically — not summarized lightly, but examined. That tone is deliberate.”
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Paste the transcript
Drop a .txt, .md, .vtt, or .srt file onto the window, or paste directly. MeetingMortem strips timestamps and speaker prefixes before inference begins.
02
Wait about a minute
The bundled model runs on Apple Silicon — no network, no cloud. A skeleton grid fills in as cards arrive. Longer transcripts are automatically chunked and merged.
03
Edit and export
Every card is editable. Reorder, delete, or add entries the model missed. Then copy the result as Markdown, Slack text, plaintext, or an email body — one keystroke.
