Our verdict on Clearminutes
Clearminutes is a local-first meeting assistant for individual professionals who want recorded conversations turned into searchable notes. It records meetings, transcribes audio on the device with Whisper, identifies speakers, creates AI-generated summaries, and extracts action items into checklists. Meeting history and transcript search support later reference, while PDF and structured-outline exports help move notes into other workflows. The desktop app supports macOS and Windows, with an iOS app also available.
Pricing covers four options. The Free plan costs £0 forever and includes real-time transcription, AI summaries, action-item extraction, and meeting history. Pro costs £12 per month and adds unlimited meeting history, speaker identification, TickTick task sync, audio import, and support for up to 3 devices. The Annual plan costs £108 per year and includes everything in Pro plus early access to new features. The Lifetime plan costs £249 one time, includes everything in Pro and all future Pro features, and removes recurring payment. The lifetime option suits buyers who expect to keep using the core workflow over time.
Clearminutes connects with TickTick, Outline, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, and Ollama, and it can work with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Slack Huddles by capturing system audio rather than joining meetings as a bot. Optional local and cloud AI model support gives users flexibility in how processing is handled. Its narrower platform and integration coverage makes it a better fit for individuals who value local transcription, recording, and structured notes than for teams seeking a broad collaboration ecosystem. Buyers needing wider platform support or extensive workflow connections should consider a more expansive meeting-notes product.
