Veroi is your private meeting brain. A fully on-device intelligence system that captures, understands and remembers every conversation — without a single byte leaving your machine.
FULL APP · NO CREDIT CARD · MACOS 15.6+
Veroi isn't a transcription tool with AI bolted on. It's built from the audio capture up to solve the problems every other recorder skips past.
Mic and system audio captured separately — so diarization is perfect, not guessed.
Summaries, action items, decisions, risks — extracted, not just recorded.
Not session-based. Veroi tracks recurring meetings, projects, and decisions over time.
MLX models, local vector DB, CloudKit-only sync. No OpenAI key, no telemetry.
Ask questions mid-meeting. Mark moments. Fact-check claims against your own past.
Meetings, notes and decisions woven together — searchable as one continuous memory.
Most apps mix your mic and the call into one muddy stream. Veroi records them as two separate tracks, runs an on-device diarizer on each, and keeps every utterance attributed to the right speaker — even in group calls, even with accents, even when you overlap.
Every meeting becomes part of a single searchable fabric. Recurring meetings are linked automatically. Projects accumulate decisions. Ask Veroi what you agreed to last quarter — it answers, with sources.
Transcription, diarization, summarisation, RAG, chat — all of it runs on-device through MLX. The only outbound traffic is one-time model downloads and license checks. Sync is optional, encrypted, and through your own iCloud.
Your next meeting, this week's digest, open action items, drag-and-drop audio ingestion — all at a glance.
A floating window beside your call. Ask questions, drop timestamped marks, confirm action items as they emerge.
Veroi watches your calendar and your conferencing apps. One tap to start — or enable automatic recording.
After every meeting: a follow-up email draft and a clean Markdown summary — ready to copy or export to PDF.
Group meetings by project. Track milestones, risks, decisions, and team rosters across months.
Structured summaries with assignees, priorities, and due dates — extracted from every call, merged non-destructively across reanalyses.
A permanent ledger of what your team decided — and what's threatening it. Tracked across meetings, projects, and quarters.
Otter, Fireflies, Read AI, Granola, Zoom AI — they all upload your conversations to someone else's server. Veroi is the only one that's fully on-device and turnkey.

State-of-the-art reasoning — running on your laptop's silicon.
Otter stores every meeting on its own servers. That's the trade every cloud recorder makes — and it's the one Veroi refuses to.
Fireflies sends a bot as a participant. Hosts can block it, IT can kill it. Veroi records system audio directly — invisibly, locally, every time.
Granola is beautiful and session-based — each meeting ends alone. Veroi threads every call into a single evolving project brain.
Read AI broadcasts metrics to everyone on the call and uploads to the cloud. Veroi gives the insight to you, and only you.
Zoom AI is locked to Zoom and your IT admin's policy. Veroi works across every platform — Meet, Teams, Discord, Webex, in-person.
Most tools record, transcribe, summarise.
Veroi is a personal knowledge engine built from the conversations you already have.
A real comment from the r/MacOSApps launch discussion.
"I bought the lifetime version and I absolutely love it. All the other apps that did what Veroi does well were subscription based and I'm just plain tired of that bull. Veroi actually does even more than I was initially looking for in apps like this. The whole building memory approach is something I didn't even know I wanted but Veroi integrates it so well I wouldn't want to be without it. In my opinion Veroi is in its own league now and has totally surpassed the other apps in this space. Huge kudos to the developer not only for the product but for the affordable lifetime option as well!"
Use Veroi as a private AI notetaker for in-person meetings, speakerphone calls, interviews, lectures, and classes. Capture real-time transcription, AI summaries, action items, meeting memory, project context, and email follow-ups with Mail integration — without a bot joining your meeting.
