Your Meetings.
Your Computer.
Zero Cloud.
Shmeetings transcribes and summarizes your meetings 100% locally using AI that runs on your computer.
No accounts. No subscriptions. No data sharing. Ever.

Your Cloud Meeting Assistant Is
Recording Everything
Every word you say in meetings is sent to remote servers, analyzed, and stored indefinitely by companies you've never heard of.
Your Data Lives on Their Servers
Cloud services upload every recording to third-party servers where your sensitive business conversations are stored and analyzed. Even with "privacy" promises, you have no control over where your data goes.
Recurring Fees Forever
$10, $20, $30 per month adds up to thousands of dollars over your career. Cloud services force you into subscriptions that never end—pay every month or lose access to your own meeting notes.
Data Breaches Are Inevitable
Every month brings news of another data breach. When your meetings live in the cloud, they're one hack away from being leaked, sold, or used against you. It's not "if" but "when."
Your Meetings Train Their AI
Many cloud services use your conversations to improve their AI models. Your private discussions become training data for their products—shared with engineers and machine learning systems you never agreed to.
100% Local AI Meeting Assistant
Shmeetings runs entirely on your Mac. Your meetings never touch the cloud. Ever.
100% Private
Your conversations never leave your computer. No cloud uploads, no servers, no data mining. What happens in your meetings stays in your meetings.
