> common questions about miniti

## 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](/docs/get-started/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 training 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

the debug log is local-only and contains no transcript or audio. see [debug log](/docs/reference/debug-log).

## 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 (macos, saved meetings only)
* fire a webhook with the full json payload

see [markdown export](/docs/features/markdown-export) and [webhooks](/docs/integrations/webhooks).

## 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](/docs/reference/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](/docs/pricing/byok) for unlimited usage, or wait for the monthly reset. see [what counts as a minute](/docs/pricing/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](/docs/pricing/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](/docs/features/transcription#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](/docs/features/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](/docs/pricing/byok). it doesn't consume minutes. see [i zoned out](/docs/features/zoned-out).

## can i re-run insights on an old meeting?

yes. open any saved meeting and click **update**, **generate**, or **regenerate** on the insights pane. this works for standard, meddpicc, training, and questions modes.

## how do i turn on docs insights?

add a docs mcp url in **settings → integrations → docs mcp**, then open the **docs** tab in a meeting (`⌘5` on macos). topics from the conversation appear and get answered from your docs. see [docs mcp](/docs/integrations/docs-mcp).

## what docs are compatible with docs insights?

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](/docs/integrations/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](/docs/pricing/what-counts-as-a-minute#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
* insights (summary, action items, meddpicc, questions): gpt-5 mini
* training metrics: local, no llm (filler words, talk ratio, pace, monologue, clarity)

see [transcription](/docs/features/transcription) and [ai insights](/docs/features/ai-insights).

## 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](/docs/pricing/byok).

## how do i update miniti?

* **macos** - from v1.24.1, the app has a built-in auto-updater. it checks for new versions in the background and prompts you to install when one is available; the app relaunches on the new version. users on an affected updater build may need to download and install the latest dmg manually once; after that, in-app updates should work normally again.
* **ios** - updates go through the app store like any other app.

## how do i report a bug?

open the [debug log](/docs/reference/debug-log) (5 taps on the version number in settings), copy it, and submit it through the [support form](https://miniti.app/support). the log contains no transcript or audio.

## still stuck?

* [troubleshooting](/docs/reference/troubleshooting) for common fixes
* [support form](https://miniti.app/support) for anything else
