About Loomfy
Loomfy is a desktop app that records your microphone and system audio together, so it can capture Zoom, Meet, Teams or any other call without a bot joining. On the free plan, transcription runs entirely on your own computer using GPU acceleration, with speaker labelling, keyword alerts and PDF or Markdown export, and nothing is uploaded. Paid plans add AI features on top: summaries with decisions and action items, generated documents such as PRDs, follow-up emails or status reports, chat with past recordings, and an MCP integration for coding tools. The higher tier also adds real-time cloud transcription. Paid plans work on monthly credits. It suits people who want private, bot-free meeting notes and are happy running a desktop app. It runs on Linux, Windows and macOS. It is a young product from a small Brazilian company, so it has fewer integrations than established notetakers.
Best for: Privacy-minded professionals who want bot-free, locally transcribed meeting notes on desktop.
