Frigade releases Yogurt, a free open source local AI meeting notes app

Original title: FrigadeHQ/yogurt: Private AI meeting notes. Free and open source.

Frigade open-sourced Yogurt, a free and open source AI meeting notes app for Mac, Windows and Linux under the MIT license. It records calls without joining a bot, transcribes with whisper.cpp (and Apple SpeechAnalyzer on supported Macs), and runs summarization with a local open-weight model via llama.cpp so audio, transcripts and AI processing stay on the user's machine. It supports 99 languages, speaker identification on Mac, cross-meeting Q&A with source links, Markdown export, and a local read-only MCP server for assistant apps; setup downloads roughly a 5 GB notes model plus a larger model of 14 GB or more.

Why it matters

Yogurt runs meeting transcription and summaries fully locally via whisper.cpp and llama.cpp, with read-only MCP access that can slot into personal note workflows.

Download for Mac · Windows · Linux

Yogurt records your calls without adding a bot to the meeting.

macOS 14.4+ (Apple Silicon) · Windows 10 2004+ (x64) · Ubuntu 22.04+ or similar (x64 AppImage) · 8 GB memory yogurt.so · Help · Build and run locally · MIT license Made by Frigade.

What it does

  • Live transcripts. Yogurt records calls and turns speech into text as you talk.
  • Meeting summaries. Yogurt writes up the conversation and any notes you add.
  • Private by default. Your audio, transcripts and AI processing stay on your computer.
  • Free and open source. You can use Yogurt without an account.
  • Who said what. Yogurt names speakers from Zoom, Teams and Meet on Mac only.
  • Languages. Multi-language mode transcribes 99 languages.
  • Recording reminders. Yogurt offers to record when a supported call starts.
  • Answers with sources. Yogurt answers questions across meetings and links to the source.
  • Folders and search. You can find meetings by folder, title, notes or transcript.
  • Copy and export. You can copy notes or transcripts, or save both as Markdown.
  • Local MCP server. Your chosen assistant app can read your notes when you allow access.
  • Automatic stop. Yogurt stops recording when the call ends.

How it works

  1. Record. Start recording your microphone and call audio; you can add your own notes.
  2. Transcribe. Yogurt uses whisper.cpp and, on supported Macs, Apple SpeechAnalyzer.
  3. Summarize and ask. A local open-weight model runs through llama.cpp.

Meeting data stays local; Yogurt goes online for model downloads and update checks.

Where your meetings, recordings, settings and models are stored

  • Mac uses ~/Library/Application Support/Yogurt.
  • Windows uses %APPDATA%\Yogurt.
  • Linux uses ~/.config/Yogurt, or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Yogurt if set.

FAQ

What kind of computer do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14.4 or newer, a 64-bit PC with Windows 10 (version 2004) or newer, or a 64-bit Linux computer with Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. Each needs at least 8 GB of memory. If your computer is too slow, Yogurt tells you during setup. Calendar and speaker names from calls are Mac only for now.

Windows says “Windows protected your PC.” What do I do?

Click More info, then Run anyway. Windows shows this for new apps that aren’t signed with a Microsoft certificate yet. Yogurt is open source, so anyone can check what it does.

Does Yogurt join my meetings?

No. Yogurt records your microphone and the sound playing on your computer. No bot joins the call, so let the other people on the call know you’re recording.

Are recordings saved?

Yes. Your recordings, transcripts, and notes are saved locally on your computer.

Is Yogurt free?

Yes. Yogurt is free and open source under the MIT license. No account is needed.

Does Yogurt work offline?

Yes. After a one-time download of the AI models, transcription and summaries run locally on your computer.

How much does setup download?

It depends on your computer. Yogurt downloads a smaller notes model first, about 5 GB, then the best one your computer can run well, which can be 14 GB or more. Recording works once setup finishes, and notes and questions work offline once the notes model is in.

How do I connect my assistant app?

In Settings → AI apps, turn on access, copy the helper command, and add it as a local MCP server in your assistant app. Access is off by default. The app can read your meetings, notes and transcripts, but cannot change them. It may send what it reads to its own online model. Turn access off in Yogurt to stop further reads.

Can other apps read my notes through MCP?

Access is off until you enable it in Settings → AI apps. Apps get read-only access to meetings, notes and transcripts. Mac and Linux use a socket in your profile folder with 0600 permissions, so only your user account can open it. Windows uses a named pipe with a new random name each launch, stored only in your profile folder. There is no per-app token, so any app running under your account can read while access is on.
