Quill is a local-first meeting assistant for solo practitioners, operators, leaders, and teams. It records meeting audio locally, transcribes it, recognizes speakers, generates notes and summaries, creates action items and to-dos, and makes recorded meetings searchable. The desktop app runs on macOS and Windows, while companion apps for iPhone and Android record meetings and sync them to the desktop app. Its focus on local processing makes it a fit for users who want meeting capture with data staying private on the device.

Pricing is structured around a useful free entry point and several paid paths. The Free plan includes unlimited recordings and transcripts, local transcription, and on-device privacy. Lite costs $6.99 per user per month and adds live meeting minutes, generated action items and to-dos, custom workflows and templates, weekly summaries, and an iOS companion app. Unlimited costs $16.99 per user per month with the same listed highlights. Teams costs $12 per seat per month and adds unlimited hours of pro meetings and team setup alongside core meeting features. Enterprise adds cloud, BYO LLM, or air-gapped deployment, an admin console, policy controls, SSO/SAML integration, a dedicated customer success manager, priority support, and SLAs.

Quill also fits workflows beyond the meeting itself. Its integrations include Notion, Todoist, Obsidian, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Linear, GitHub, Jira, Atlassian, ClickUp, monday.com, Attio, Pipedrive, and Affinity, with API support and integrations with work tools and MCP clients. Calendar sync supports meeting preparation, while templates and meeting types help organize recurring formats. Choose Quill if local recording, searchable transcripts, and practical follow-up automation matter more than a cloud-first workflow. Users seeking a primarily cloud-based meeting assistant may prefer an alternative.
