So the launch idea is basically…

one shortcut, voice in, organized out.

Voice noteProductSummary

How it works

How Mindly handles a meeting

  1. Open the capture overlay with ⌘M. Type live notes during the call, or hit record for voice transcription.
  2. After the meeting, Mindly auto-tags the note (project, decisions, action items), generates a short summary, and links to past meetings on the same thread.
  3. Set a due date and reminder time on any action item you captured. macOS notifications fire when you scheduled them, so follow-ups stop sliding into next month.
  4. Search in plain language. "What did we decide about pricing in March" surfaces the exact meeting and the line.
  5. Pull recurring threads onto the mind map to see how decisions evolved across weeks.

When to use it

What meeting notes are actually for

Decisions

Capture the moment a decision happens. The "why" behind picking A over B doesn't get lost two months later.

Action items with reminders

List action items inline, add a due date and a reminder time. macOS pings you exactly when you said, not on a generic morning blast.

Customer interviews

Save transcripts with verbatim quotes. AI tags by feature area for synthesis weeks later.

Recurring meetings

One thread per weekly standup or 1-on-1. The mind map shows how the conversation evolves.

One on ones

What you agreed with each person, across months, in one searchable thread. The next 1-on-1 starts from the record instead of from memory.

Meeting minutes without the typing

Dictate a recap the moment the call ends and Mindly turns it into clean, summarized minutes, so the writeup takes one minute instead of twenty.

Why it works

What makes meeting notes actually usable later

Stay present, capture anyway

The worst trade in any meeting is choosing between listening and typing. Mindly lets you record a voice note of the discussion or dictate a recap the moment the call ends, and the transcript arrives within seconds. You keep your attention on the conversation, and the record still gets made.

Summaries you can scan in seconds

An hour of talking becomes a few clear lines. Mindly summarizes every capture automatically, so reviewing last week before the follow up takes a minute instead of replaying a recording or rereading a wall of notes.

Meetings connected to the work they touch

A meeting note in a silo is half useless. In Mindly the call notes land in the same library as the brief, the email, and the earlier conversation, and context recognition links them, so the decision sits next to the material that explains it.

Private and on your Mac

What is said in meetings is often confidential. Your notes and recordings live in a folder on your Mac, AI processing runs over encrypted channels, and content is not retained on Mindly servers after the request, so the record stays yours.

Why it matters

Why most meeting note workflows fail

Notes from meetings only matter if you can find them again. Most apps store them in a folder hierarchy you'll forget by Friday. Mindly tags, summarizes, and links every meeting automatically so they stay searchable for years, not just until the next sync.

Common questions

Meeting notes FAQ

Can Mindly transcribe my meetings?

Yes. Record a voice note during the meeting or dictate a recap right after, and Mindly transcribes it into searchable text, summarizes it, and tags it by topic automatically. The transcript lands in the same library as your documents and notes, connected to the related work.

How do I find a decision from an old meeting?

Search for it in plain language. Because every meeting was transcribed, summarized, and tagged, a few words about what was discussed surface the right note even when you have forgotten the date or the title. You stop scrolling calendars trying to reconstruct when something was decided.

Do I have to organize my meeting notes into folders?

No. Mindly tags each meeting by topic and project automatically and links it to related items, so the organizing that collapses in a busy week never lands on you. You capture and move on.

Can I keep meeting notes next to the documents they discuss?

Yes, and that is the point. The meeting note, the deck that was shared, the follow up email, and your own thinking all live in one library and connect automatically, so preparing for the next conversation means one search instead of five apps.

How do I organize meeting notes?

The honest answer is that you should not have to. Filing meeting notes into folders is the habit that collapses in a busy week. In Mindly every meeting is tagged by topic and project automatically and linked to the related work, so the organization happens on save and finding a meeting later is a search, not a filing system.

What is the best way to take meeting minutes on a Mac?

Capture the raw material during the call (a voice note or a few anchor lines) and let the cleanup happen after. Mindly transcribes and summarizes the capture within seconds, so the minutes write themselves from what was actually said, and the decisions and action items sit at the top instead of buried in prose.

Are my meeting recordings private?

Your library lives in a folder on your Mac, not on a vendor server. AI features run over cloud model APIs, which means content is sent for processing over encrypted channels, but it is not retained on Mindly servers after the request completes.
