Live transcription
Low-latency captions with overlap-aware merging, stable interim text, and Korean-friendly formatting.
Open source · Built for Apple Silicon
Meetings stay useful.
And stay on your Mac.
Madi turns live audio into searchable transcripts, speaker-aware notes, translation, summaries, and recall — with inference on your own Apple Silicon.

AGPL‑3.0application source
One local workspace
From live speech to durable meeting memory.
Capture system audio or a microphone, follow the conversation live, then search and reuse what was said without uploading the meeting to a processing service.
Speaker separation
Speaker-aware turns and voiceprint workflows keep multi-person conversations readable.
Local translation
Optional on-device language models translate without sending transcript content to a hosted model.
Summaries and recall
Build recaps, action items, open loops, and answers from the meetings already in your workspace.
Exportable by design
Your recordings and transcripts remain local files with practical export paths for downstream work.
Native Mac surface
A SwiftUI application backed by Metal and Zig, tuned around Apple Silicon rather than a browser shell.
Inspect the whole path
Local-first is an architecture, not a slogan.
The source, data paths, build instructions, privacy model, and release provenance are public and reviewable.
The Madi application source is AGPL‑3.0. Release bundles may also contain separately licensed redistributable translation-engine binaries. A source-only build flag omits them and produces an AGPL-only application bundle.
01
No cloud processing
Audio, transcripts, translation, summaries, and retrieval are processed on-device. Network use is limited to explicit downloads and update checks.
02
Reproducible license boundary
Build the public source without separately licensed translation engines using one documented environment flag.
03
Supply-chain evidence
Release workflows generate checksums, SPDX SBOMs, and build provenance attestations.
04
Community-owned direction
Governance, security reporting, support, contribution rules, and a public roadmap live beside the code.
Use it. Inspect it. Help shape what comes next.
Madi is now public. Try the current release, build an AGPL-only bundle from source, or pick up an issue and make local meeting intelligence better.
