does miniti record my screen?
no. miniti only captures audio. on macos, system audio permission lives near screen recording in system settings, but the two are separate. see permissions.does it work offline?
no. transcription requires a live websocket to deepgram and ai insights require a call to openai. the app itself opens offline, and saved meetings are viewable offline, but you cannot record or generate insights without internet.where is my data stored?
- locally - transcripts, notes, insights, and coaching metrics are saved on-device in swiftdata
- managed mode - audio streams to deepgram directly; the miniti backend sees only session metadata (device id, duration) and insight requests (transcript text, short-lived)
- byok mode - audio goes from your device to your deepgram account; insight requests go from your device to your openai account; the miniti backend is not in the path
can i use miniti across multiple devices?
each install is a separate device. meetings don’t sync between devices - saving a meeting on your mac won’t show it on your iphone. managed-tier usage is metered per device.can i export my data?
yes. from any saved meeting you can:- copy transcript, notes, or insights as markdown
- on macos, auto-export every saved meeting to a local folder (default
~/documents/miniti/) - works with obsidian, claude code, etc. - send to attio or Twenty CRM (macos, saved meetings only)
- fire a webhook with the full json payload
which languages are supported?
11: english, spanish, french, german, portuguese, italian, dutch, swedish, greek, polish, russian. set a default in settings or pick per meeting before recording starts. see languages.can i change the language mid-meeting?
no. language is set before recording starts. start a new session to switch.what happens when i hit the minutes limit?
recording is blocked with an in-app message. you can upgrade to pro, switch to byok for unlimited usage, or wait for the monthly reset. see what counts as a minute.is there a free trial for pro?
no dedicated trial. the free tier (500 minutes/month) is permanent and has the same feature set as pro - pro just raises the monthly cap to 5,000 minutes. byok is also free forever if you bring your own keys.can i pay yearly?
not today. pro is monthly: $5/month on macos (via polar), $4.99/month on ios (via app store).does pro on macos unlock pro on ios (or vice versa)?
no. the two are separate billing rails - macos pro is via polar, ios pro is via apple. if you want pro on both, you subscribe on both.can i transfer pro to a new mac?
yes. use restore purchases on the new mac with your polar license key. on ios, use restore purchases - apple re-verifies via storekit. see tiers.does miniti work with zoom / google meet / microsoft teams?
yes on macos. system audio capture records whatever’s playing through your speakers, which covers every video call app. ios is microphone-only, so you’d need to put the call on speaker or hold the phone near the mic.does the remote side know i’m recording?
no. miniti is a passive listener - it captures audio already playing on your machine and audio from your mic. there’s no bot in the call. you are responsible for getting consent where required by law or policy.can i teach miniti my product names?
yes. add product names, acronyms, and uncommon words to the personal dictionary in settings. miniti boosts those terms during live transcription on both macos and ios. when a meeting comes from google calendar, the event title and attendee names also help recognition.can i edit the transcript?
yes, after a meeting is stopped and saved. open the saved meeting, select transcript text to delete a range, or use edit segments to delete an individual segment. transcript text remains selectable for copy. trimming clears generated insights, so click regenerate afterward.can i edit speaker names?
yes. click (macos) or tap (ios) a speaker chip in the speaker legend above the transcript - a rename panel appears with save / clear / cancel. your edit wins over any future automatic inference, so miniti won’t silently rewrite a name you’ve set. works during a live meeting or on a saved one. see speaker names.what does “i zoned out” send?
the same thing every other insight mode sends: the current meeting’s transcript (and calendar attendees, if connected), to miniti’s insights endpoint - or directly to your openai account in byok mode. it doesn’t consume minutes. see i zoned out.can i re-run insights on an old meeting?
yes. open a saved meeting, choose summary, questions, coaching, or an enabled specialist view, and use its update action. coaching recalculates locally. playbook has separate topic refresh and lookup controls.how do i turn on playbook?
add a docs mcp url in settings → docs mcp, then open the insights more menu and choose playbook. topics from the conversation appear and get answered from your docs. see docs mcp.what docs are compatible with playbook?
any docs site that publishes a public https mcp endpoint with a search capability - for example mintlify-hosted docs or lightdash’s docs (https://docs.lightdash.com/mcp). private, localhost, and non-https urls are not supported. see docs mcp.
how many docs lookups do i get?
free plans include 10 docs lookups per month. pro and byok are unlimited. building the topic list is always free and never counts as a lookup. see docs lookups.why didn’t a docs topic get an answer?
answers come only from your own docs. if your docs don’t cover that topic, miniti shows no answer for it rather than guessing. try connecting docs that cover the subject, or look the topic up again after the conversation gets more specific.what model does the ai use?
- transcription: deepgram nova-3
- managed ai insights: pinned
gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07for incremental requests, speaker naming, catch-up, and playbook topic extraction; pinnedgpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17for non-incremental summary, sales, questions, and grounded playbook answers - byok ai insights: pinned
gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07 - coaching metrics and cross-meeting suggestions: local, no llm (filler words, talk ratio, pace, monologue, questions, clarity)
can i use my own openai / deepgram keys?
yes - that’s byok mode. unlimited usage, you pay the providers directly, keys are stored locally in your keychain. see byok.how do i update miniti?
- macos - from v1.24.1, the app checks automatically and prompts before installing an update. if macos says miniti was prevented from modifying apps, try install update again. affected older updater builds can fail once during the transition. if the retry also fails, install the latest dmg manually once; future in-app updates should then work normally.
- ios - updates go through the app store like any other app.
how do i report a bug?
open the debug log (5 taps on the version number in settings), copy it, and submit it through the support form. the log contains no transcript or audio.still stuck?
- troubleshooting for common fixes
- support form for anything else
