Spellar is an AI meeting notes application for Mac, iPhone, iPad, Chrome and the web. Its main difference from many notetakers is that no bot joins the call. Audio is recorded on the user's own device, so Zoom, Google Meet, Teams and Webex meetings can be captured without adding a participant or notifying attendees.
After recording, Spellar produces a transcript, a summary and action items, and lets users ask questions about any meeting. The company describes it as a private meeting companion for people who spend much of their day in meetings and still want to do their own thinking.
The workflow has three steps. A user starts a recording with one shortcut, and Spellar captures Zoom, Meet, Teams or any audio in the room, with the user choosing what gets stored and for how long. The app also lives in the Mac menu bar so recording can start from any application.
Next, an AI model turns the audio into notes. GPT, Claude and Gemini are included, and the model can be chosen per meeting, per template or per question. Finally, notes move into other tools such as Notion, Linear and Slack through connectors, so users do not copy and paste them manually.
Spellar includes more than 30 built-in templates for standups, 1:1s, retros, sales calls and customer interviews, and users can create custom templates by describing the output in plain language. A Live Copilot answers questions during a meeting, while a chat feature searches across all meetings and cites the moment each answer came from.
Automated weekly and monthly recaps summarize meetings, decisions and open actions. Transcription supports 45 languages, with an on-device option. Privacy settings include opt-in server-side transcription, configurable audio retention and the ability to bring your own AI key for fully private AI calls.
