Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about threadfork — your private, local-first AI workspace

What is an AI Notetaker?
An AI notetaker is software that records your meetings or conversations, automatically transcribes them, and generates summaries, action items, and insights. Unlike human note-taking, it never misses details and works across Zoom, Teams, Meet, or even in-person conversations.
What makes threadfork different from Fireflies, Otter, or Granola?
Most AI notetakers send your audio to the cloud, where it's stored and processed. threadfork runs 100% locally on your computer, which means: Your notes never leave your machine. Faster processing with no internet lag. No hidden subscription costs tied to cloud compute.
Is there a free AI Notetaker?
Yes. threadfork offers a free beta version that runs locally on your desktop. Many other AI notetakers advertise free tiers but require cloud uploads or limited trials — threadfork is free to use, with your data kept private.
Can an AI Notetaker work with Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet?
Yes. threadfork works across all major platforms — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Because it runs locally, it can also capture in-person meetings or phone calls, not just video conferencing.
Is AI Notetaking safe and private?
With most cloud AI tools, your meeting data is stored on someone else's servers. That means risks of leaks, misuse, or compliance issues. threadfork is private by design: all transcription and AI processing happen on your device, with no cloud uploads.
Can I use threadfork for in-person meetings?
Yes. Just place your laptop or device nearby, and threadfork will transcribe and summarize live discussions. Perfect for freelancers, consultants, or anyone who doesn't want to rely on Zoom/Teams for every conversation.
What's the best AI Notetaker in 2025?
The "best" depends on what you care about. If you want cloud integrations, tools like Fireflies or Otter may suit you. If you want privacy, performance, and ownership of your data, threadfork is the best option — the only AI notetaker that runs fully local.
Does threadfork store my audio or transcripts in the cloud?
No. By default, threadfork processes and stores everything locally on your machine. You control exports and integrations.
Can threadfork generate action items and summaries automatically?
Yes. After transcription, threadfork creates concise summaries, highlights key decisions, and suggests next actions you can edit or export.
Does threadfork integrate with calendars, email, or docs?
Yes. You can organize notes and export to your calendar, email drafts, or documents. Because it's local-first, you control what leaves your device.
