Meetily and Dailies pull in opposite directions. Meetily is an open-source meeting assistant that records, transcribes and summarises on your own device; its site states that recordings and transcripts never leave your computer. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records your call in order to publish parts of it: up to eight captioned vertical shorts, cut from the best passages. Neither sends a bot into the call. If a meeting must stay on your computer, Meetily is made for that. If a call holds advice worth posting, that is Dailies’ job.
Checked against Meetily’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people who want the opposite of an archive: a few passages of a client call, cut into captioned vertical shorts and posted.
Meetily
For people who must keep the audio and transcripts of their meetings on their own machine, or who want an open-source tool.

Meetily is an open-source meeting assistant made by Zackriya Solutions, under the MIT licence. Its site describes it as recording, transcribing and summarising meetings entirely on your device. A desktop app captures your microphone and your computer’s system audio, with no bot in the call, so it works with Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Slack huddles, Webex and other conferencing software. Native apps ship for macOS and Windows; on Linux the app is built from source. Transcription runs locally in real time with Whisper or Parakeet, summaries are written by local models or through your own API key, and exports are in PDF, DOCX or Markdown. Meetily states that recordings and transcripts never leave your computer in its Community and Pro editions. Parakeet’s languages include French. What it records is audio: no video recording is mentioned on the pages we read. Its site reminds users to make sure they have proper consent to record.
Meetily states that the recordings and transcripts of your meetings never leave your computer: transcription runs locally, and summaries can too. Dailies records for the opposite purpose. A few minutes after the call it delivers shorts that you download in Full HD and post on LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Which one you want depends on what the call is: something to keep to yourself, or something to show.
Meetily captures your microphone and the system audio; no video recording is mentioned on the pages we read, so there is no footage to cut a clip from. Dailies records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own. Its shorts show whoever speaks, reframed for a phone, with animated captions burned in and silences, filler words and false starts removed.
Meetily is a desktop app for macOS and Windows, open source under the MIT licence, which on Linux you build from source; because it listens to the system audio, it works with any conferencing software. Dailies is a Chrome extension, and it records only the calls you hold in Chrome, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom’s web client. Discord, Slack huddles and Webex are within Meetily’s reach, not Dailies’.
Neither tool sends a bot into the call. Meetily’s site reminds its users to make sure they have proper consent to record, according to their local laws and company policies. Dailies records from your own browser, and telling your guests is up to you.
No video recording is mentioned on the Meetily pages we read. Its desktop app captures your microphone and your computer’s system audio, transcribes them locally and writes a summary. Dailies records the picture too, the call tab and your webcam, because what it delivers is video.
Yes. Its site and its repository state that it is fully open source, under the MIT licence. Native apps ship for macOS and Windows, and on Linux the app is built from source. Dailies is another kind of tool: a Chrome extension that records your calls to cut shorts from them.
No. Meetily works on audio, and what it produces is a transcript, a summary and exports in PDF, DOCX or Markdown. Dailies records the call in Chrome and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts a few minutes after it ends.
No. Dailies writes no meeting notes, summaries or action items, and its recordings are made to become shorts that you post. If what you need is a transcript and a summary that stay on your computer, Meetily is the right kind of tool.
Yes for transcription: its documentation lists French among the languages of Parakeet, one of the two transcription models it runs locally, and says that Whisper, the other, covers a broader range. We could not tell from the pages we read whether its interface exists in French. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its extension’s interface is in French.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
