Records Mac meetings, transcribes on device, and surfaces live answers from your files.
Product brief
Parrot is a free, open-source meeting recorder for Mac that helps during the call, not after it. No bot joins: it records what your Mac hears and transcribes on device. When a client asks something your pricing sheet or FAQ covers, the answer appears with the file it came from. After the call you get a report of promises made and questions missed, and you can chat with all your meetings. Use Claude, a free local model with Ollama, or your own server. No account, no subscription.
