Open Source Swift Audio Recording Software

Quill is a minimalist macOS meeting recorder and transcription utility that runs from the menu bar. It captures microphone input and system audio as separate tracks, which naturally distinguishes the user from other speakers. When recording stops, both tracks are transcribed locally and merged into a timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript. The app uses an on-device Parakeet model, so recordings and text never need to leave the Mac. Sessions are stored as audio, metadata, transcript, and log files in organized folders. Its filesystem-based queue can resume unfinished jobs after relaunch and continue processing while a new meeting is recorded. Quill is distributed as a single Swift executable and supports launch-at-login installation, diagnostics, configurable output folders, and post-processing hooks.
