Ghosty Notes records your meetings on your Mac, writes them to plain Markdown files you own, and lets your coding agent read them. No bot joins the call.
Pick where you are.
I just installed it
Start here and work down:
- Install - download, first launch, and the Apple Silicon requirement.
- Permissions - the two macOS permissions it needs, and the one that is hidden in a pane you would never guess.
- Your first recording - record, stop, and see what you get.
- Calendar - so your notes arrive already titled and dated.
I want my coding agent to read my meetings
This is the part the product exists for, and it is free on every plan.
- Connect a coding agent - Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, with the exact config for each.
- MCP tool reference - the seven tools, and which two can write.
- Prompts that work - real things to ask once it is connected.
- Notes and files - the folder layout your agent is reading.
Something is broken
- Troubleshooting - no audio, denied permissions, stuck downloads, context length errors, MCP not connecting.
Everything else
- Import and export - come across from Granola or Hyprnote, get notes out as PDF, text, Markdown or Org.
- Speaker identification - who said what, on device.
- Transcription models - what turns speech into text.
- AI models for notes - what writes the summaries.
- Privacy in detail - exactly what leaves your Mac, per setting.
The short version
- Everything runs on your Mac, on both plans. Paying does not move your data anywhere.
- Your notes are Markdown files in a folder you can open, back up and move.
- The MCP server is free, including on the free plan.
- Pro is $5 a month or $54 a year. It adds Google and Outlook calendar connections, speaker identification, and human support - a person replies by the end of the next working day, Monday to Friday. See pricing.
