You were in the meeting. Now you have it.

Not by default, and never to us. Recording, transcription, speaker separation and summarisation run on your Mac, and we have no server that could receive your audio or your transcripts.

There is one way transcript text leaves your Mac, and you have to set it up: Meetfacts can send a transcript to a summarisation server you name — an oMLX server, on this Mac by default, or on another machine on your network if you point it there. Nothing is configured that way out of the box, and audio is never sent anywhere at all.

If you bought a licence, yes, on a schedule: Meetfacts re‑validates it with Polar every seven days, and keeps working for thirty days without a successful check. That request carries your licence key, this Mac's name and the app version. Nothing from your meetings is part of it.

The free build makes no licence call at all. Update checks can be switched off. Meetfacts never fetches models: you download and import them yourself. A configured oMLX server receives transcript text for summaries.

Recording works without models; transcription works offline after you import the speech model. Run meetfacts models guide for download and import instructions. Pending recordings retry when you reopen the app. oMLX is for summaries, not transcription. A licensed copy keeps Pro for thirty days with no successful licence check, and warns you in the menu bar for the last week of that window.

macOS 26 or later, on a Mac with Apple silicon. Apple silicon is not a recommendation: Meetfacts ships as an arm64-only build and will not run on an Intel Mac.

Almost certainly, and in many places you need their agreement before you start. Recording someone's private words without it is a criminal offence in some countries, Germany included. Meetfacts cannot know what law applies to you or who is on the call, so it does not pretend to handle this: the asking is yours to do.

No. One payment, no automatic renewal, nothing to cancel. The licence is perpetual for this major version, on up to ten of your own Macs; if you retire one, remove it in your Polar customer portal and the slot comes back. Twelve months of updates are included; after that the app keeps working exactly as it did, and security fixes still arrive. If you want another year of new features, a renewal costs half of what you last paid.

Yes. Recording, transcripts, speaker naming, search and summaries you ask for by hand are free forever, with no limits. All four Pro features run for thirty days when you first open the app, with no account, no email address and no card.

In your Polar customer portal. Open the portal link in your order confirmation email, copy your licence key and paste it into Meetfacts to activate this Mac. If the email has not arrived or you cannot find the key, check spam and then write to contact@meetfacts.com and we will help you access your licence.

Accurate enough to search and to read back, and not accurate enough to quote from unread. Speech recognition gets names, jargon, accents and crosstalk wrong, and speaker separation gets confused when two people talk over each other. You can correct both. Read it before you forward it.
