Why it ranks #1
The leading purpose-built self-hosted meeting assistant here at about 26.4k GitHub stars, with active 2026 development and repeated self-hosted roundup coverage.Here is the catch
local models need meaningful CPU, GPU and storage resources
setup and model management are more involved than SaaS
fewer polished integrations and admin controls than commercial tools
Does this well
meeting audio can remain entirely on-device
complete note-taking workflow rather than only a speech model
active project with a large self-hosting community
