Humla is a free, open source AI notepad for Mac that records meetings without adding a bot to the call. It captures both sides of a conversation, shows the transcript as it is produced and writes summaries from a chosen preset such as a client recap or an internal action list. Transcription and summaries can run entirely on device, or through the user's own API key. A chat pane answers questions across meeting history and links each answer to its source note.
It is aimed at professionals who run frequent meetings and want notes that stay on their own machine. The capabilities that matter most are on device transcription and summaries, fully offline chat with Ollama, and transcription in more than 99 languages. The app runs on macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon and requires no sign up.
The desktop app is free to download and use. Humla Cloud adds hosted sync for a whole team and costs $5 per user per month. The vendor also lists a self host option.
