miniti can gently tap you on the shoulder during a live meeting if your delivery is drifting - a long monologue or a sudden filler-word spike. nudges are local notifications, computed on-device, with no llm and no network call.

​
the two nudges

nudgefires when
long monologueyou’ve been speaking continuously for ~60 seconds and have passed ~180 words without leaving a gap
filler spikemore than 8 fillers per minute over a rolling 60-second window (um, uh, like, …)
a 3-minute cooldown applies per nudge type, so you won’t get spammed. each one is a short, dismissable system notification.

​
which speaker is coached

  • macos - nudges are computed on your mic track (“you”). remote speakers from system audio are never nudged - the coaching is always about your delivery.
  • ios - capture is mic-only, so there’s no speaker separation at the audio level. nudges are computed against the single speaker heuristic miniti uses for ios, which in practice means phone-only capture can produce nudges that reflect whoever is nearest the mic. if you’re on a call via speakerphone with others, expect some noise here.

​
when they fire

nudges fire only when miniti is in the background. if you’re actively looking at the meeting view, you can already see the live metrics - a notification would just be noise. the moment you’re on the call (miniti minimized, a different app focused), the nudges kick in.

​
enable them

  • macos - settings (⌘,) → notifications → toggle nudge me when i’m monologuing and nudge me when i’m using too many fillers
  • ios - settings → notifications → same two toggles
both toggles are off by default. you’ll also need to grant miniti notification permission the first time you enable one.

​
privacy

  • fully local - detection runs on-device from the live transcript
  • no llm - it’s a simple word-count / rate calculation against a rolling window
  • no network - nothing leaves your device to produce a nudge
  • the notification itself is a local UNNotificationRequest scheduled by miniti

​
tuning

the thresholds (180 words, >8 fillers/min, 60-second window, 3-minute cooldown) are fixed in this release. if you want different values, email ian@miniti.app with your use case.
