    What's Next

    We're actively working on the following features for the next release:

      Support for generating meeting summaries in languages other than English. Ideal for multilingual teams β€” transcribe in one language and get a summary in another.
    • Inline Transcript Editing
      Edit your transcript directly without leaving the app. Fix misheard words or formatting issues right where they appear, keeping your notes accurate and clean.
    • Post-Processing Mode (Retranscribe)
      Option to disable live transcription during a meeting and process the full recording afterward instead. Useful for noisy environments or when accuracy matters more than real-time output.
    • Dark Mode
      A proper dark theme across the entire interface for those late-night meetings and low-light environments.

    meetily by Zackriya-Solutions

    v0.0.5: Enhanced Installation, Docker Support & New Features

    meetily releases a major update that makes installation far easier, adds complete Docker support, and refreshes the UI with a modern shadcn/ui experience. It also brings privacy-first opt-in analytics, stronger backend reliability, and smoother upgrade paths.

    This major release focuses on making Meetily easier to install and use, with significant improvements to the installation process, Docker support, enhanced UI, and privacy-focused analytics.

    πŸ“¦ Installation Guide

    🎯 Option 1: Easiest Installation (Recommended)

    Windows Users (5-10 minutes)

    Step 1: Install the Frontend Application

    Download the installer:

    Go to Latest Releases

    Look for and download the file ending with x64-setup.exe (e.g., meetily-frontend_0.0.5_x64-setup.exe)

    Prepare the installer:

    Navigate to your Downloads folder

    Right-click the downloaded .exe file β†’ Properties

    At the bottom, check the Unblock checkbox β†’ Click OK

    This prevents Windows security warnings during installation

    Run the installation:

    Double-click the installer to launch it

    If Windows shows a security warning:

    Click More info β†’ Run anyway, OR

    Follow any permission dialog prompts

    Follow the installation wizard steps

    The app will be installed and available on your desktop/Start menu

    Step 2: Install and Start the Backend

    1. Download the backend:

    From the same releases page

    Download the backend zip file (e.g., meetily_backend.zip)

    Extract the zip to a folder like C:\meetily_backend\

    Prepare backend files:

    Open PowerShell (search for it in Start menu)

    Navigate to your extracted backend folder:

    cd C:\meetily_backend

    Unblock all files (Windows security requirement):

    Get-ChildItem -Path . -Recurse | Unblock-File

    Start the backend services:

    .\start_with_output.ps1

    This script will:

    Guide you through Whisper model selection (recommended: base or medium)

    Ask for language preference (default: English)

    Download the selected model automatically

    Start both Whisper server (port 8178) and Meeting app (port 5167)

    What happens during startup:

    Model Selection: Choose from tiny (fastest, basic accuracy) to large (slowest, best accuracy)

    Language Setup: Select your preferred language for transcription

    Auto-download: Selected models are downloaded automatically (~150MB to 1.5GB depending on model)

    Service Launch: Both transcription and meeting services start automatically

    βœ… Success Verification:

    Check services are running:

    Open browser and visit http://localhost:8178 (should show Whisper API interface)

    Visit http://localhost:5167/docs (should show Meeting app API documentation)

    Test the application:

    Launch Meetily from desktop/Start menu

    Grant microphone permissions when prompted

    You should see the main interface ready to record meetings

    Alternative Installation Methods:

    Option A: MSI Installer (if exe is blocked)

    Download the .msi file instead of .exe from releases

    MSI installers are typically less likely to be blocked by Windows Defender

    Option B: Windows Defender Issues

    If Windows Defender blocks the installer:

    Open Windows Security β†’ Virus & threat protection

    Click Manage settings under Virus & threat protection settings

    Scroll to Exclusions β†’ Add or remove exclusions

    Add the downloaded installer file as an exclusion

    Run the installer manually

    macOS Users (5-7 minutes)

    !!! If you already have a working meetily app, please upgrade to the latest version

    Installing fresh

    # One command installs everything (frontend + backend)
    brew tap zackriya-solutions/meetily
    brew install --cask meetily
    # Start the backend server
    meetily-server --language en --model medium
    

    To update existing installation:

    # Update Homebrew and get latest package information
    brew update
    # Update to latest version
    brew upgrade --cask meetily
    brew upgrade meetily-backend

    cd meeting-minutes/backend
    .\build_whisper.cmd
    

    Might have to run the build command again if it fails

    .\build_whisper.cmd
    

    Finally, when the installation is successful, run the backend using the following command from same terminal

    .\start_with_output.ps1
    

    Troubleshooting

    Warning - existing chocolatey installation is detected

    To address this - Either use the current chocolatey version installed or remove the current one with

    rm C:\ProgramData\chocolatey
    

    Error - ./start_with_output.ps1 shows security error

    Run after making sure the file is unblocked

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force .\start_with_output.ps1
    

    Frontend Setup

    Option 1: Using the powershell (Recommended)

    Open Windows powershell and enter the command

    cd ~/Downloads; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/Zackriya-Solutions/meeting-minutes/releases/download/v0.0.4/meetily-frontend_0.0.4_x64-setup.exe" -OutFile "meetily-setup.exe"; Unblock-File -Path "meetily-setup.exe"; Start-Process -FilePath "meetily-setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/S" -Wait; Remove-Item "meetily-setup.exe"
    

    Once done, open meetily from desktop icon or by searching it on the windows search tool.

    Option 2: Using the Setup Executable (.exe)

    Download the meetily-frontend_0.0.4_x64-setup.exe (3.6 MB) file

    Give permission

    Click More info and choose Run anyway, or

    Right-click on the installer (.exe) from the downloads folder, select Properties, and check the Unblock checkbox at the bottom

    Double-click the installer to run it

    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation

    The application will be available on your desktop

    Option 3: Using the MSI Installer (.msi)

    Double-click the MSI file to run it

    Follow the installation wizard to complete the setup

    The application will be installed and available on your desktop

    macOS Installation

    Frontend Setup

    Option 1: Using Homebrew (Recommended)

    ==(Optional)==

    # If meetily is already installed in your system, uninstall the current versions
    brew uninstall meetily
    brew uninstall meetily-backend
    brew untap zackriya-solutions/meetily
    # Install Meetily using Homebrew
    brew tap zackriya-solutions/meetily
    brew install --cask meetily
    # Start the backend server
    meetily-server --language en --model medium
    

    Option 2: Manual Installation

    Download the dmg_darwin_arch64.zip file

    Extract the file

    Double-click the .dmg file inside the extracted folder

    Drag the application to your Applications folder

    Execute the following command in terminal to remove the quarantine attribute:

    xattr -c /Applications/meetily-frontend.app
    

    Once the installation is complete, we need to grant permission once more to the updated version. To do this, remove the existing version from the system and revoke screen recording access to the old app while adding the new one.

    Select the old app

    Remove the app

    Proceed to restart the app, start recording, and enable screen recording access.

    Backend Setup

    Option 1: Using Homebrew (Recommended)

    # Install the backend using Homebrew
    brew install meetily-backend
    # Download a Whisper model (choose size based on your needs)
    meetily-download-model medium
    # Start the backend server
    meetily-server
