Yogurt: local meeting transcripts and notes
An open-source desktop recorder from Frigade that transcribes and summarizes meetings on your computer, without a bot joining the call.
Requirements
Apple Silicon macOS 14.4+, Windows 10 2004+ x64, or Ubuntu 22.04+ compatible x64 Linux. At least 8 GB RAM.
Quick start
Choose the package for your system on the official v0.3.6 release page. The first run downloads models.
Yogurt is useful when you want a local transcript of a meeting you are allowed to record. It captures your microphone and call audio, then places a generated summary alongside your notes. Frigade says meeting data is processed on-device with the local workflow. The app downloads models and checks for updates. A separately enabled AI app may read meeting material through MCP and send it to an online model.
Get the installer from Frigade's v0.3.6 release. The supported packages are for Apple Silicon on macOS 14.4+, Windows 10 version 2004+ (x64), and Ubuntu 22.04+ or a compatible x64 Linux system. Frigade lists 8 GB of memory. The Windows installer is unsigned at this version. The official help lists the permissions and first-run model download.
Start with a short, permitted call using non-sensitive material. Compare two names and an action item against what was actually said. One independent Teams user reported successful transcription and summarization but said the other speaker's name was missed. That is one report. Speaker-name and calendar integration are documented for Mac only. Boloop did not install or benchmark this version.
