Which Macs does Daisy run on?

Daisy runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) running macOS Sonoma 14 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported because the on-device transcription relies heavily on the Apple Silicon Neural Engine.

How does the MCP server work?

Daisy hosts a local MCP server bound strictly to localhost (127.0.0.1). By enabling it, AI clients like Claude Desktop or Cursor can natively query your meeting history, search transcripts, and list folder categories without uploading your data to any external server.

Does Daisy keep the raw audio?

Keeping raw audio is optional. By default, raw audio is discarded once transcription and summarization are finished. You can adjust how long audio is kept under Settings -> General -> Privacy if you wish to maintain a playable audio archive.

Daisy Product Information

What is Daisy?

Daisy is a local-first, open-source (Apache 2.0) meeting recorder and dictation tool built specifically for Apple Silicon Macs. It captures both your microphone and system audio natively without requiring a bot to join your calls. Transcriptions are performed entirely on-device utilizing WhisperKit on the Mac's Neural Engine, paired with offline diarization for speaker labeling. Transcripts are saved directly as plain Markdown files in a user-chosen local folder, such as an Obsidian vault. Daisy also features a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes your meetings as a queryable data source for AI clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor, as well as customizable modes for voice notes and push-to-talk dictation in any application.

How to use Daisy?

Download and install the DMG for Apple Silicon Mac (macOS 14+). Grant Screen Recording permission to capture system audio. Use the widget on your screen to start recording meetings, dictating text, or capturing voice notes. Transcripts are saved locally as Markdown files. Optionally, add your OpenAI or Anthropic API key in Settings for summaries, or toggle the local MCP server in the Connections tab to let Claude Desktop or Cursor query your meeting logs.
