Record. Transcribe. Done.
Hit record
Start Oats and begin your meeting. It listens on your Mac — no bot, no third-party cloud, nothing joins the call.
Oats captures everything
Audio is recorded locally on your device. Run a local AI model, or connect your Ariso account for cloud transcription.
Get notes instantly
When the meeting ends, Oats writes a structured summary, pulls out action items, and scores the meeting — all from what was actually said.
Everything meeting notes should do. Nothing they usually do.
On-device recording
Records directly from your Mac's audio — no browser extension, no bot, no third-party server ever touches the audio stream.
Works everywhere
Zoom, Meet, Teams, a phone call, a hallway chat. Any audio your Mac can hear, Oats can record and transcribe.
AI-written notes
After each meeting, Oats produces a quick digest, full summary, action items per person, and a quality score from the actual transcript.
Searchable library
Every meeting you record lands in a searchable library. Ask questions across your whole history — “what did we decide about pricing?”
Local or cloud AI
Run everything on-device with a local model and keep audio fully private, or connect your Ariso account for richer AI features.
Truly open source
Every line is public on GitHub. Read it, fork it, self-host it, or ship your own features on top.
Your meetings stay on your machine.
Most note-takers want your recordings in their cloud. Oats records locally, runs AI locally, and never forces your audio off-device.
Free, forever
No seats, no trial timer, no paywall waiting at meeting #6.
Run everything locally
Recording, transcription, and AI notes can all run on your Mac with a local model. Zero data leaves your device.
Inspect every line
Fully open source on GitHub. Audit it, fork it, self-host it — you own it.
No lock-in
Export anything, owe nothing, leave whenever.
