## Key features

- **Bot-free local recording:** Captures your microphone and the computer's audio, so it works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack huddles, Webex, FaceTime and in-person meetings. It records audio only, not video.
- **On-device transcription:** Transcribes 29 languages with auto-detection on your computer and identifies speakers, learning who is who across meetings. Recording and transcription work without internet.
- **Live Minutes and AI notes:** Pro builds minutes while the meeting is under way, then lists decisions, action items, owners and follow-up drafts. Templates can be set per meeting type.
- **Your choice of LLM:** Notes can run on Anthropic, OpenAI or Google models, AWS Bedrock, OpenRouter, or local models through Ollama or LM Studio. Pro also includes a quota on Quill's hosted model.
- **AI chat and MCP server:** Ask questions across past conversations in the app, or connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients to a server that runs locally.
- **Automations and integrations:** After a meeting Quill can create notes, draft an email or send notes to Slack, Notion, a CRM or a folder. To-dos sent to Todoist become separate tasks.

## Good for

- Professionals whose conversations cannot be sent to a cloud notetaker
- People who want free, unlimited local transcription
- Teams that want to choose which AI model reads their transcripts

## Worth knowing

- Without Pro, Quill does not auto-generate AI notes, and encrypted sync and backup and the mobile app are unavailable.
- Lite includes 16 hours of pro meetings a month. Unlimited hours need the Unlimited or Teams plan, and Teams has a 5-seat minimum.
- The iPhone and Android apps are companions that need a paid plan and the desktop app. There is no iPad app and no recording from a browser.
- The Mac app needs Apple Silicon and macOS 12 or later, and cloud sync covers transcripts and notes but not audio recordings.
