Alternatives
Looking for a different meeting tool?
Thoth is a native Mac app that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings entirely on your device. No cloud, no bot, no account required. If you are coming from one of the tools below, here is how they compare.
Granola alternative
Granola is an AI notepad that enhances your typed notes. It captures audio locally but sends transcript text to the cloud, and does not produce a full word-for-word transcript.
Otter.ai alternative
Otter.ai is a cloud-based transcription service with a bot (OtterPilot) that joins your calls. All audio is uploaded to their servers. The free plan is capped at 300 minutes per month.
Fireflies.ai alternative
Fireflies.ai is a cloud-based meeting assistant with a bot that joins calls as a named participant. Built for sales team pipelines. All audio and transcripts are processed on cloud servers.
MacWhisper alternative
MacWhisper is a local transcription utility built around files: drag in audio or a YouTube URL and get text. Also on-device, but no dual-channel meeting capture, built-in local AI, or anonymization.
Try Thoth free.
No account required. Free to try. Paid plans have no recording limits.
